New Delhi, May 21 -- Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel urged viewers to stop watching CBS after the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, while voicing strong support for fellow comedian Stephen Colbert ahead of the show's finale.

Speaking during the May 20 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel encouraged audiences to tune in for Colbert's final broadcast - before calling for a boycott of the network afterward.

"I hope those of you who watch our show will also tune into CBS for the last time," Kimmel said.

"Don't ever watch it again, but watch tomorrow night to show Stephen and our friends at The Late Show a fun farewell."

Kimmel also revealed that his ABC late-night program would not air on May 21 out of respect for Colbert...
