Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 22, 2026The AI-generated post came just hours after Trump celebrated Colbert’s departure from CBS.“Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.“You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”In a separate post, Trump described Colbert’s exit as the “Beginning of the End” for late-night television hosts whom he labelled “untalented,” “overpaid,” and “not funny.”Stephen Colbert succeeded David Letterman as host of The Late Show in 2015. On July 17, 2025, he announced that CBS had decided to cancel the programme after a 30-year run, with the network maintaining that the decision was based solely on financial considerations.CBS said the cancellation reflected the economic challenges facing traditional broadcast television. However, critics and Colbert himself suggested there may also have been political factors involved, particularly after the host criticised Paramount over a reported USD 16 million legal settlement linked to Trump.Despite the show’s cancellation, Colbert’s final episode drew massive viewership. According to overnight Nielsen ratings cited by CNN, Thursday night’s finale became the most-watched weeknight episode of his 11-year tenure.
