‘Go F*ck Yourself!’ Stephen Colbert Hits Back After Trump Celebrates ‘The Late Show’ Cancelation

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.”

Colbert announced the cancelation of The Late Show on Thursday. The announcement came just days after the late-night host criticized his network CBS’ $16 million settlement with Trump, calling it a “big fat bribe.”
