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.

WATCH OUT EVERYBODY!

HE’S ABOUT TO GET ACTUALLY FUNNY?

Colbert, still the joke.

[SaveFerris]

I stopped watching “late night” shows at least 20 years ago

Conan was funny for a moment - until he showed that he was a typical radical TDS Democrat - not surprising

[healy61]

My prediction is Colbert will keep attacking President Trump leading to another lawsuit. CBS will see the writing on the wall and settle. Colbert will be removed immediately from programing, and his idiot fans will go nuts. CBS will spiral and Trump will just smile and do Trump stuff.

Agree none of the new late night shows are worth tuning into rehashed democrat talking points and zero humor.

Gloves off?

Like until now, the gloves have been on????

CBS DOESN’T WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW HOW STUPID THEY HAVE BEEN

They knew he was and is losing money. They didn't want the world to know how much they were contributing in kind to the Democrat Party.

The man’s a windbag. Liberal folks have fallen for his act.

[popdonnelly]

This man is, and always has been, a snooze.

[Verginius Rufus]

Tyrus was complaining on “Gutfeld” last night about Colbert getting a whole year more. Anyone else who gets fired is told don’t come to work tomorrow.

[mass55th]

What gloves?

[metmom]

Exactly.

I’m sick of hearing the whining.

[1Old Pro]

Time to try something different. It is a whole new world.

He's just like Rachel Maddow, even looks like her, just a different time slot.

If he’s that great some other network will snatch him right up!

If he’s that great some other network will snatch him right up!

He's not, nobody will take him. He's destined for podcast world.
