Colbert is fuming and it’s hilarious.
Liberal comedian Stephen Colbert is lashing out after CBS pulled the plug on The Late Show, and his unhinged tirade against President Trump is turning heads — but not in the way he hoped.
On Monday night, Colbert opened his monologue by slamming CBS executives and launching a profanity-laced attack on President Donald Trump. The longtime left-wing host, whose ratings have declined in recent years, declared that with just months left before cancellation, he’s ready to “take the gloves off.”
“Now I can finally say exactly what I think,” Colbert declared with a smirk. “And when it comes to Donald Trump — I’m not a fan.”
But Colbert’s meltdown came just days after President Trump posted a viral message on Truth Social celebrating the show’s end.
“I’m thrilled Colbert’s show got canceled,” Trump posted. “He had even less talent than he had viewers. Word is Jimmy Kimmel might be next. Greg Gutfeld outshines them all — by far.”
Rather than respond with wit or humor, Colbert turned vulgar — shouting an obscene insult at Trump during the broadcast. The liberal studio audience roared with approval, but many Americans were left wondering if this kind of language is what late-night comedy has become.
CBS Scrambles for Cover as Ratings Tank
CBS claims the cancellation was due to “financial reasons,” not politics — but even Colbert questioned that. During his rant, he quoted a media insider report stating the show was losing over $40 million a year.
“$40 million’s a big number,” Colbert said sarcastically. “Where did the other $16 million go?” he added, referencing CBS’s recent $16 million settlement paid to Trump after a legal dispute.

Fox News Dominates Late Night with Gutfeld!
While liberal late-night shows spiral, Fox News Channel’s Gutfeld! is breaking records, becoming the #1 late-night program in America. In the second quarter of 2025, Gutfeld! pulled in over 3 million viewers, crushing the competition at ABC, NBC, and Comedy Central.
With its smart commentary, patriotic humor, and no-nonsense takes, Gutfeld! continues to resonate with millions of everyday Americans who feel alienated by the Hollywood elite.
Bottom Line: Trump Wins, Colbert Crumbles
As Stephen Colbert heads for the exit, President Trump remains the dominant force in both politics and culture. Meanwhile, the American public is turning off the toxic late-night shows and tuning in to voices that actually reflect their values.
