Late Show host Stephen Colbert is clearly taking his show’s cancellation to heart.
Colbert’s show was cancelled by CBS parent company Paramount after more than a decade on air.
Company sources later revealed the decision was purely financial and that the show had been losing $40 million a year because of its whopping $100 million production cost.
On Wednesday’s edition of the show, Colbert lashed out at President Trump
In the words of Elon Musk, ‘Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.’ There’s been a lot of smoking guns in this case, but shortly before we taped this show, we got the smokiest yet.
The Wall Street Journal is now reporting that back in May, Attorney General Pam Bondi informed the president that his name was in the Epstein files. But he said he hardly knew the guy!
“You know how they say there’s no such thing as bad publicity? They’re not talking about this.
The president wasn’t alone. An official familiar with the documents said they contain hundreds of other names.
Of course, names like Donald Trump, Donald John Trump, Donald J. Trump, Donny Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Father, Big Daddy, Big Daddy Bronzer, aka the Donald and a mystery man known only as micropenis DJT.
Watch the clip below:
While CBS has insisted the decision was purely based on the failings of his show, Colbert is clearly butthurt about the network’s recent decision to settle a lawsuit with Trump for $16 million.
Just days before he was cancelled, Colbert described the move as a bribe.
”Now, I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles,” he complained at the time.
”It’s “big fat bribe,” because this all comes as Paramount’s owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner, Skydance.”

Trump, meanwhile, made no secret of his pleasure at seeing Colbert getting the axe.
“I absolutely love that Colbert got fired,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after news of his cancellation broke. “His talent was even less than his ratings.”
“I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!” he continued.
