Piers Morgan ripped Stephen Colbert during an appearance on FOX News today, calling him a whiny one-trick pony.
Morgan marveled at the fact that Colbert has a huge writing staff and yet all they can come up with is the same anti-Trump jokes night after night, suggesting that the cancelation was completely justified, which it was.
Morgan and the other panelists also made fun of a recent pro-Colbert protest that drew an embarrassingly small crowd.

Because actually more people are now gravitating — modesty apart — to shows like mine on YouTube. We get millions and millions of views because people want to see uncensored, unfiltered comment — the kind of get here around the sofa. They don’t want to see a one-trick, whiny pony telling everyone all the time the guy they voted for is terrible. They don’t agree!
