Colbert Addresses Trump Disrupting ’Survivor’ & ‘Stupid Ballroom’ Project
Four major networks paused primetime shows including Survivor and The Floor to air President Trump's live address from the White House, resuming programming afterward.
- On Dec. 17, 2025, President Donald Trump was slated to speak at 8 p.m. CT, and four major broadcasting networks adjusted schedules to air the live White House address.
- Broadcasters expected to carry a live presidential report, so major networks interrupted entertainment, and Stephen Colbert called handing over prime-time on short notice `a really big deal`.
- CBS said it will pause and then resume Survivor Season 49 finale, Fox will interrupt The Floor season finale, and ABC and NBC will delay iHeartRadio Jingle Ball and Christmas in Nashville.

- Streaming provided an alternative as networks reshuffled schedules, with the address available on YouTube and USA TODAY planning to air it amid pauses of the Survivor Season 49 finale and live holiday specials.
