Trump Shreds Stephen Colbert After Show Canceled by CBS
President Donald Trump has taken to social media to celebrate the news that leftist late-night host Stephen Colbert’s show has been canceled by CBS.
“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired,” President Donald Trump posted Friday on Truth Social.
“His talent was even less than his ratings.
“I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.
“Has even less talent than Colbert!” Trump mocked.
“Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.”
Colbert, one of Trump’s fiercest critics, took over the CBS show from David Letterman in 2015.
The show became a major platform for Democrat politicians and anti-Trump rhetoric.
Last month, Colbert welcomed far-left New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani before the socialist hopeful clinched the Democrat nomination.
On Thursday, the same day he announced his cancellation effective next May, his first guest was Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA).
CBS said in a statement that the long-running late-night show will end in May 2026.
However, the network insists that it’s “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.”
“It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content, or other matters happening at Paramount,” CBS added.
There had been speculation about the future of the Paramount-owned late-night programs.
Paramount-owned shows also include “The Daily Show” on Comedy Central.
It comes as Paramount’s planned corporate merger with Skydance Media is expected to take place later this year.
Colbert was outspoken against the settlement, calling it a “big fat bribe” to the Trump administration.
He joked about being pressured by studio heads earlier this week.
“Some of the TV typers out there are blogging that once Skydance gets CBS, the new owners’ desire to please Trump will ‘put pressure on late-night host and frequent Trump critic Stephen Colbert,’” Colbert joked.
“OK, but how are they going to put pressure on Stephen Colbert… if they can’t find him?”
Meanwhile, Fox News’s “Gutfeld!” has surged to become late-night’s highest-rated program.
In the second quarter of 2025, the show, hosted by Greg Gutfeld, notched 3 million viewers and 365,000 in the 25-54 age demographic at the 10 p.m. ET hour.
In addition to routing cable news competition, “Gutfeld!” outpaced all broadcast and late-night television.
“Gutfeld!” performed better than “The Late Show” and other such established programs as Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show,” ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and NBC’s “The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon” and “Late Night with Seth Meyers.”

Stephen Colbert is a real whiney very sick puppy.
Like a pup rolled in Ardern’s shit & puke.

After the Trump moan & whinge on the Trump settlement, shut him down.
I doubt that SC will be able to start out on his own podcast media, unless some Democrat Party financier, then for how long?
Like Don Lemmon? who shot himself in the foot with Elon Musk?
At least Tucker Carlson got out, and is making his own way.
Not that I followed him much as he soft pedals on the hard to get interviews any way or I am more interested in who is being interviewed.
Carlson’s long form interviews can be interesting and he certainly attracts some great guests. The one with Harmer Dillon discussing Kamala Harris’ career trajectory was enlightening, and I’m watching the Epstein one in bits (who has 3 hrs?). Same names keep popping up.
Why shutdown in may? Why not overnight?
The doll from northland strikes.
Cindy’s poo finger strikes again!

Sky News host Rita Panahi slams Stephen Colbert for being the “unfunniest flog” on television.
Stephen Colbert had his show cancelled by CBS and is expected to end in 2026.
Ms Panahi said Stephen Colbert is a “Trump deranged activist” masquerading as a comic.
“How can you have so many writers and producers and consistently produce nothing but trash?”
How could that show make a loss of $40-50 million per year.
Fortunatey, mercifully Rita did cut some of the skits short.
