Donald Trump took a victory lap online after the late-night host finished his final episode on CBS
President Donald Trump celebrated the departure of late-night host Stephen Colbert, calling him a "total jerk" who is "finally finished at CBS." Colbert's final episode of "The Late Show" aired on Thursday night, marking the end of his run on the network. Trump took a victory lap online, expressing disbelief that the host had remained on the air for as long as he did.[1]
In his online remarks, Trump wrote, "Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person." The sharp criticism from Trump followed the final broadcast of the late-night program.[1]
The final sign-off came after CBS decided to axe the late-night program less than a year prior, bringing Colbert's tenure on the show to a close.[2]
