Stephen Colbert declares himself a 'martyr' and warns the 'gloves are off' in searing response to Trump
UK Daily Mail ^ | Juily 22, 2025 | Stephen M. Lepore

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.

The guy is so full of himself. Find it hard someone worth $75 MM calls himself a martyr.

What is even funnier is that he thinks “taking the gloves off” will make any difference to anyone.

Was CBS getting laundered taxpayer money in order to keep Colbert on the air...?

Was CBS getting tax relief for its losses...?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Shaddup Colbert. Losing 40M a year is a solid reason for being fired.

What do you bet that propaganda shows like his were partially funded by USAID?

That is why he is so mad at Trump. 🤣🤣

Awww, poor baby lost his cushy job for a program that was losing money hand over fist.

Hey Colbert why don't you go to NPR and ask for donations.

The guy has months to cut expenses and boost his ratings.

If he takes a salary cut his show might then make a tidy profit. I could live quite well on $2 million a year.

Getting angry will only turn off people. These people will then turn off their TV.

A staff of 200 to produce a simple one sided political talk show. No wonder it was losing so much and is now going the way of the Titanic.

Little Stevie to take the gloves off and he’s gonna show ‘em? ROTFL! I can’t figure which is tougher. Little Bobby “Da Hunter” Bidenskyyy or Stevie Coldbeer.

He’s so angry he’s going to find someone else he can lose tens of millions of dollars for.

See my reply #13 for starters.

US taxpayers were likely covering the network’s @$$.

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

I’m not sure old noodle arms could even lift a pair of gloves

It's going to take a year to finally pull the show off the air because (pick one):

1. His contract runs through May 2026 and they did not want to pay out early,

2. It's going to take that long to find something even worse to replace his show with,

3. This is just a wake-up call and they are hoping he can turn it around.

Keep in mind that the advertising rate for a commercial would have to triple in order to break even on an entertainment show.

This POS thinks he can hurl the most vile slurs against Trump, but, oh man, if Trump responds in any way, well, the gloves are coming off. Colbert has already lost this fight, and he probably will be gone much earlier than originally assigned.
