Fired CBS host Stephen Colbert threw a tantrum and lashed out at President Trump last night after getting fired.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, CBS canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last Thursday for financial reasons, especially given the low ratings. The show will end after the next season in May 2026.
The following day, Trump celebrated the news while mocking Colbert’s low ratings.
“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Colbert expressed confusion over being fired for financial reasons, pointing out that The Late Show is currently No. 1 in ratings and suggesting an ulterior motive.
“Over the weekend, someone at CBS followed up their gracious press release, followed up with a gracious anonymous leak saying, ‘They pulled the plug on our show because of losses pegged between $40 million and $50 million a year.” $40 million is a big number. I could see us losing $24 million, but where would Paramount have possibly spent the other $16 million?” Colbert said, referencing Paramount’s decision to settle a lawsuit with the Trump Administration over the editing of Kamala Harris’s 60 Minutes interview.
“Over the weekend, it sunk in that they’re killing off our show, but they made one mistake: They left me alive. And now, for the next 10 months, the gloves are off,” Colbert boasted.
After reading off Trump’s Truth Social post, which responded to his termination, Colbert lost his temper.
How dare you, sir?! Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?” Colbert fired back. “Go f**k yourself!”
Colbert’s audience burst out in wild applause at his childish outburst.

Colbert then went on to read Trump’s prediction that Jimmy Kimmel was next, and responded with pure vanity.
“Kimmel, I am the martyr. There’s only room for one on this cross. And the view is fantastic from up here. I can see your house,” he quipped.
