"It's not a great look when you fly on the pedophiles plane enough times to earn Diamond Pervert Status," the "Late Show" host says

Stephen Colbert isn't feeling any sympathy for himself, now that his show is headed off the air, nor for his favorite punching bag, President Trump, still neck-deep in controversy over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

In the wake of the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show", Donald Trump has taken to social media to express his joy at the decision.

Donald Trump is already lying about why CBS’s The Late Show With Stephen Colbert was canceled. “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning.

Colbert’s cancellation came days after he mocked Paramount, which owns CBS, for its $16 million settlement with Trump in a lawsuit many considered meritless. That settlement comes as Paramount attempts a merger with Skydance Media, which requires Federal Communications Commission approval to proceed.

CBS’ decision to cut ties with Stephen Colbert and its decades-old “Late Show” franchise come next May will leave a major hole in the format — but one that has been widening. TV networks have been cutting costs at their late-night mainstays for the past few years.

Stephen Colbert delivered a withering one-two takedown of President Donald Trump, mocking his recent Air Force One stumble and his decision to “deploy troops against our fellow Americans.”
