EXCLUSIVE: JIMMY IN TROUBLE — BOTH FALLON & KIMMEL FACING NETWORK REVIEWS AS LATE-NIGHT RATINGS TANK

EXCLUSIVE: LATE-NIGHT SHAKEUP LOOMS AS FALLON & KIMMEL FACE NETWORK REVIEWS
Colbert's cancellation wasn’t a one-off — it was a warning shot. Now, NBC and ABC are scrambling to figure out what to do with the last two Jimmys standing.
#ShuterScoop can reveal that Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel are both under quiet but serious review at their respective networks, as industry panic over the collapsing late-night model reaches a fever pitch.
“This is about survival now,” says a top TV executive. “No one is safe — not even the Jimmys.”
Fallon’s ratings have nosedived — down 16% overall and a brutal 30% among the prized 18–49 demo. Kimmel is faring slightly better, pulling in 1.77 million viewers a night, but his ad-demo numbers are sliding too. Combined with eye-watering salaries — $16M for Fallon, $15M for Kimmel — execs are starting to wonder if the punchlines are worth the price tag.
NBC has already slashed costs at The Tonight Show, cutting it to four nights a week and axing the house band. ABC is considering a format overhaul for Kimmel Live, including shorter runs and guest hosts.
“People don’t want an hour of desk jokes at 11:30 anymore,” another insider tells #ShuterScoop. “They want fast, viral clips — not monologues.”
Relevance is another issue. “They’re trending for apologies, flubs, and feuds — not the comedy,” the source adds.
With Stephen Colbert's exit now confirmed for 2026, the message from the networks is clear: evolve or get out.
“This isn’t about funny — it’s about frugal,” one exec says. “The late-night party is over.”
EXCLUSIVE: PRINCE HARRY FLYING TO LONDON THURSDAY TO MEET KING CHARLES — BUT STILL REFUSES TO SEE PRINCE WILLIAM
Harry’s headed home — but not for a royal reunion.
#ShuterScoop has confirmed that Prince Harry will arrive in London this Thursday to see his father, King Charles, for their first face-to-face in nearly a year and a half. But there’s one person he’s not planning to see: Prince William.
“Harry’s made it clear — this trip is about his father,” a palace insider tells #ShuterScoop. “He has no intention of sitting down with William.”
The visit follows secret meetings between royal aides last week, culminating in a private planning session at the Royal Over-Seas League. Notably, Will and Kate’s team wasn’t invited — sparking fresh fury from Camp Cambridge.
“William was blindsided,” one source reveals. “He found out from the media — and he’s livid.”
While Harry is also set to attend the WellChild Awards, sources say the real purpose of the trip is emotional: reconnecting with King Charles, whose cancer battle has deeply shaken the family.
“He’s not returning to royal life,” says the source. “But he doesn’t want unfinished business with his dad.”
Still, any hope of a three-way truce is fading fast.
“Charles wants peace,” the insider says. “William? He won’t even pick up the phone.”
EXCLUSIVE: SHILOH JOLIE-PITT ENGAGED TO GIRLFRIEND KEONI ROSE — ANGELINA “STUNNED” AS 19-YEAR-OLD MOVES OUT AND IN WITH LOVE
Shiloh Jolie is saying goodbye to “Pitt” — and hello to forever.
#ShuterScoop can reveal that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s 19-year-old daughter Shiloh is engaged to dancer girlfriend Keoni Rose, 20, after a whirlwind romance — and Mom is shocked.
“They’re young, but this is real,” a friend of the couple says. “Shiloh proposed at home — just the two of them, no cameras, no fuss.”
The couple now shares a cozy condo in Los Angeles and has been seen wrapped in each other’s arms at cafes, dance classes, and sushi spots. Recently, paparazzi spotted a ring on Shiloh’s finger — and a huge smile to match.
Adding more buzz: Shiloh recently filed to drop “Pitt” from her name, marking a clear break from her father and a bold step toward independence.
“Angie didn’t expect this so soon,” says a family source. “She’s proud — but it’s overwhelming.”
Still, the Oscar winner isn’t pushing back. “She’s letting Shiloh live her life,” the insider adds. “As long as she’s safe and loved — that’s all Angie cares about.”
EXCLUSIVE: HOCUS POCUS 3 STALLS — BETTE MIDLER HOLDING OUT FOR DOUBLE PAY, SJP IN TALKS BUT NOTHING GREENLIT
No broomstick is flying until Disney ponies up.
Talks for Hocus Pocus 3 have officially hit a magical roadblock — and it’s all about the money. While Sarah Jessica Parker recently confirmed she’s “in conversations” to return, insiders tell #ShuterScoop that Bette Midler is demanding double her current deal — and won’t cast a single spell until she gets it.
“She’s the heart of the franchise,” a Disney insider says. “And she knows it.”
After Hocus Pocus 2 shattered streaming records, Bette reportedly wants a payday that reflects her power — but Disney’s holding firm. Meanwhile, Kathy Najimy is said to be on board if a deal gets done, but the studio has yet to lock down the full cast or even announce a production start date.
“There’s talk of an animated version if things fall apart,” the source whispers. “But fans want the real witches — not cartoons.”
Bottom line? The Sanderson sisters are circling — but without Bette, it’s just smoke and mirrors.
