The Late Show host Stephen Colbert told President Donald Trump to “go f*ck” himself on Monday after the president celebrated the cancelation of Colbert’s show.

Trump celebrated the news of The Late Show‘s cancelation last week, writing in a Truth Social post, “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.”

Responding to Trump’s post on The Late Show, Monday, Colbert remarked, “How dare you, sir. Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go fuck yourself!”

Reading out Trump’s prediction that Jimmy Kimmel would be “next” on the late-night show chopping block, Colbert protested, “Nope! No, no. Absolutely not, Kimmel. I am the martyr, okay? Okay? There’s only room for one on this cross and I gotta tell you, the view is fantastic from up here!” “The only other story out there is kind of a small one,” Colbert concluded. “The president was buddies with a pedophile.”

1. Brown stuff hitting fan. This could have the opposite effect of the intent.

More popcorn. How much is the popcorn tariff?

22. Jon Stewart seems to have picked up on this theme....

Jon Stewart responded to CBS bowing down to Trump and canceling Colbert

25. The View is ripping Trrrrrump now. ABC show with clips from CBS. Tongues are wagging. I love it.

Thank all of you fine folks. Now is an opportunity to speak up.

[electric_blue68]

39. Omg! 😄😆🤣 That's HYSTERICAL! TY!!!!

Thank you I needed that!

I had no idea he's done it before (when I looked it up on YT to share).

[electric_blue68]

41. ETA, and Your User Name is PERFECT for this!

I sure got instant gratification from thiat vid!

[Omnipresent]

2. Jimmy Kimmel is usually trump's daily dose of reality.

Jimmy delivers his zingers with a big smile on his face.
A manchild like trump is threatened by someone who isn’t afraid of him.

[Katinfl]

3. Do you think Colbert will stick it out until May?

He probably has to per his contract, but it will be hard to do knowing you are on borrowed time. He literally was terminated with 10 months notice. Crazy.

[underpants]

4. The hard part might be keeping his crew there

Especially the writers. The tech people are all union so they work wherever the network tells them.

[Katinfl]

6. Good point.

So then what would he do if he intends to stick it out until May? I don’t see that happening.

[IronLionZion]

19. A competitor might hire him for a similar show, now that they know what he's going to talk about

or he can start a podcast or be a regular contributor for one of his friends' shows. The Daily Show would probably take him back. Supposedly many have reached out to discuss roles for him on their networks and platforms.

10 months is a hell of a long time to find a new job. Some of us are accustomed to no-notice terminations. I sincerely hope DJT is thrown out of office before then. That would be sweet irony.

[Escurumbele]

24. He needs to take the opportunity to hit trump hard until May, to make his life unbearable, which is not very

difficult, all he has to do is make fun of the guy, his ego is too big to handle any of it.

So I hope Colbert goes hard at him, from now to May is plenty of time to do it.

[FakeNoose]

27. Yes and he's going to let it fly the entire time

I think the band and the production/technical people all work under contract, so they're obligated to stay until May. They're free to take other work if they want but they can't quit Colbert while the show's still on.

They've got no fucks left to give, as the saying goes. So Colbert will be worth watching from now till the end.

[Bayard]

29. I expect him to get more outrageous,

He has nothing to lose. Go for it, Stephen!

[twodogsbarking]

40. I think a deal could be cut or they may fire him for some "reason".

I don't think he would leave. Would be funny if his ratings skyrocketed.

[druidity33]

45. I do.

He's not wrong. This is his opportunity to say whatever the fuck he wants. If the network fires him before May, then he owns the rest of the pay from the contract. I think.

[underpants]

5. Hell yeah Stephen.

[sop]

7. If Colbert is kept on air till his contract expires, the next few months will be must see tv.

CBS will probably get rid of him before then.

[MLWR]

8. "I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings."

So says the guy who inherited several hundred million dollars and proceeded to be an absolute failure at everything he ever tried.

[orangecrush]

9. "Grown men"

"Came to me with tears in their eyes, saying 'Sir, go fuck yourself' "

[wolfie001]

18. I'd love to have seen the following 2 responses and what had transpired

Now I can only imagine......

[orangecrush]

33. The poster made a good comment

I deleted mine due to a grammatical error.

[wolfie001]

35. Sorry

I'm just a boring dude that needs a new TV drama show or something Cheers

[orangecrush]

38. Cheers!

[MayReasonRule]

34. Good, That's The Spirit!!

[moonshinegnomie]

10. i fired paramount

im a huge star trek fan. instead of paying for paramount ill find other places to watch strange new worlds...


as jon stewart said last night they can go fuck themselves

[mdbl]

21. It's unfortunate that Paramount owns that franchise

I have quit watching it including the old stuff on Pluto - also owned by Paramount. Everyone should be writing letters to Paramount protesting their capitulation to an extortionist.

[MayReasonRule]

31. Protest Is The Primary Reason I And Mine Switched To Proton VPN & Stremio

Because fuck fascist cooperators.

[The Roux Comes First]

11. Not Only Is the "Other Story Out There" a Small One, It is a Tedious Re-run

Convicted criminal, sexual predator, golf fraud, and financial failure who cheats and lies his way into office, aided by malign foreigners and domestic mental sloth, declares that any report of his malignancy must be fake.

In a way, that is Not News. But hopefully at least a much bigger ripple than usual. Having a pedophile for a BFF could rub off on your other relationships.

For the sake of our humanity, finding the next gig for Colbert should be a priority!

[Tribetime]

14. Gutfeld is better than all of them combined....I didn't know Gutfeld was a comedian

Someone needs to sue Fox for editing trump to make him look better.

[twodogsbarking]

15. Watch at least the first minute.

[wolfie001]

20. Damn! I didn't know she wrote that!

I only heard the Cee Lo Green version. This is great! Such a talented woman! I loved her 'Waitress' song!

[BWdem4life]

28. She did not write it. nt

[wolfie001]

36. Whoops. My bad

She wrote the song that she transitioned into.

[twodogsbarking]

42. No penalty if you are part right.

[tavernier]

16. Watch the entire show. (For those who haven't)

Many surprises! Truly Priceless!

[CaptainTruth]

17. I'm sure Colbert will take no prisoners on his way out...

...& I love him for it.

[Blue Owl]

23. PREACH IT

[The Grand Illuminist]

26. He will just shrug it off.

Talk the talk is one thing, true action is another and they are winning. We need to bring massive fear into them. Even if it's at risk.

[MayReasonRule]

30. Jon Stewart for the win!!!

Phrases of the day:
🔹 "Chronic Penis Insufficiency"
🔹 "Suing Someone Mid-Blow"

[bluescribbler]

37. I think Stephen is all out

He has no more fucks to give.

[twodogsbarking]

43. I sense he has some "dissatisfaction" with how things have been going.

Looking forward to Stephen on an even higher level.

[soldierant]

44. I am normally a pretty kind person,

but I guess I have a cruel streak in me that wants to say "Go fuck a rock" in this case.

[COL Mustard]

46. Colbert will wind up somewhere, no doubt.

He will make a shit ton of money, also no doubt. Thanks, Orangey, he can laugh all the way to the bank while he lives rent free in your demented head.
