Jimmy Kimmel had nothing but praise for Stephen Colbert ahead of his competitor’s final episode of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. On the May 20 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel reminded his viewers that his show would be going dark on May 21 in support of The Late Show‘s series finale.

“We will be off tomorrow night out of respect for our colleague and friend Stephen Colbert and the writers, producers, staff, and crew at The Late Show, whose finale show on CBS airs opposite ours,” Kimmel said in his monologue. “I think you know how I feel about the fact that they are being pushed out. I hope the people who did the pushing feel ashamed of themselves tonight, although they probably won’t.”
