“The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!” he said.

Trump then directed his ire toward late-night hosts Kimmel and Fallon, two other longtime critics of the president.

“Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak and very insecure Jimmy Fallon. The only real question is, who will go first? Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don’t, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow,” he declared.

Trump was so often the target of Colbert’s show that he became almost a main character. The comedian’s frequent denouncements of Trump culled his audience into one almost entirely with his views, while conservatives went elsewhere, such as Fox News’s more popular Gutfeld!

The announcement of The Late Show‘s cancellation sparked outrage, tributes from the left, and celebrations from the right. Other late-night hosts and liberal figures viewed the cancellation as directly linked to Paramount’s recent settlement in Trump’s lawsuit against it. Paramount and critics pointed to the tens of millions the show was losing per year and the shrinking audience, as Trump pointed out.

Colbert responded to Trump’s previous gloating over his cancellation by asking if “an untalented man” could tell the president, “Go f*** yourself.”

Though his show was canceled, CBS is keeping Colbert on for another 10 months. He’s responded by turning his ire on the network, directly accusing them of accepting bribes. Critics have argued that the network should have canceled the show earlier.
