Stephen Colbert called himself a 'martyr' before firing off a crude message to Donald Trump, warning 'the gloves are off' after the president gloated over The Late Show’s cancellation.

The comedian's decade-long run as the host of CBS' late night flagship will end next May, with network insiders suggesting the top-rated show was canceled because it was losing anywhere from $40 to $100million per year.

Gloves off, pants off, he’s still a humorless shill for the left. He’s overrated, overpaid and undertalented, it wasn’t that Trump had anything to do with his fall...it was the market place and it spoke loud and clear.

Uh, Steve… President Trump didn’t fire you. CBS and your audience did. It’s a job, not daycare. You cost your employer millions of dollars in losses. Clearly it was time for you to be fired and replaced.

[Jonty30]

Now he’ll have to go back to the small club circuits to bash Trump.

Have a hard time seeing an effete limousine liberal loser as any kind of a martyr. He’s got more money than he knows what to do with it. Another self absorbed narcissist.

[silent majority rising]

Take what gloves off?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Does Stevie remind anyone else as being a “male” tranny version of Rosie Oh’Donnell from Ireland?

[quilterdebbie]

What a tool!

[Biblebelter]

Kinda like announcing a year long pity party.

Crying in your beer gets old.

We’ll see how much of what’s left of his audience he can run away.

[grobdriver]

What’s he going to do, take to X and crack jokes?

[We’re being charged for the propaganda they’re using against us...]



Exactly. Read the last line from this 2019 picture:

When you call yourself a martyr, you lose all rights to the claim.

It’s pure victimhood whining by immature, entitled brats.

[rktman]

That’s a pretty big spread dailymail...$40 dollars to $100 million dollars per year. 😳😊👍

Coalburt’s gloves are elbow-length with sequins.

[Flag_This]

I haven’t been this outraged since Bill Clinton cancelled the Arsenio Hall Show in ‘94!

[Stephen Colbert called himself a 'martyr']

(Director: Be sure to look at the audience, scream,
touch your head and grab the curtain as you fall -

and....ACTION!!!)

[HIDEK6]

How many divisions does Coal Burt have?

[Forward the Light Brigade]

The Victim card has lost all its magic. Time to try something different. It is a whole new world.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Take the gloves off? What, he’s going to say nasty things about President Trump now?

[Clutch Martin]

Maybe Colbert coukd sub on the view... with his moaning about how much his puddy hurts he wouls fit right in.
