Donald Trump has weighed in on CBS axing The Late Show with Stephen Colbert while taking aim at several other late-night hosts.
It was announced yesterday that CBS will bring The Late Show to an end in May. The network described the cancellation of the 32-year-old late-night talk show as a “financial decision”.
However, multiple CBS staffers have told The Independent they believe it to be a continuation of the “Trump shakedown” that began with parent company Paramount’s settlement of the 60 Minutes lawsuit.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump said: “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.”
He continued: “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.”
