Stephen Colbert declared to Donald Trump that “the gloves are off” in his first broadcast since his Late Show was cancelled amid a political firestorm, as his fellow hosts lined up to defend him with Jon Stewart scathingly denouncing Paramount for trying to “censor and control” its hosts.
Colbert, the top-rated late-night talk show host in the US, said last week on his CBS show Late Night – which he took over from David Letterman in 2015 – that Paramount’s decision to pay a $16m settlement to Trump over another flagship CBS show, 60 Minutes, amounted to a “big fat bribe”. CBS is part of Paramount, which needs the Trump-controlled Federal Communications Commission to approve its $8bn sale to Skydance.
Paramount pulled the plug three days later, with Trump revelling in the firing of one of his most prolific detractors, posting on his Truth Social platform: “I absolutely love that Colbert was fired.”
Colbert came out swinging on Monday, telling Trump to “go **** yourself”.

Go Away Richard Cranium
Pshh! When has he NOT gone after Trump? Chees, Colbert, take it up with CBS.
Yep, they would have us believe up to now,he has been restrained in his comments about Trump.
Good late your hate drive you to legally actionable idiocy. Trump can then bankrupt you via legal action
The receipts are there. The show is canceled because no one watches.
“””Colbert came out swinging on Monday, telling Trump to “go **** yourself”.”””
Not a wise thing to say to the POTUS.
“Stephen Colbert declares ‘gloves are off’”
that may be, but i don’t think Stephen is yet quite old enough to go on late night TV on some obscure cable/satellite channel and hawk some worthless crap to semi-senile nursing home residents who can’t sleep ... so, maybe he can start a podcast that no one listens to like all the other propaganda-spouting leftists who’ve quit or been fired ...
That little faggot ?
No one is afraid of him.
Fun fact:
Trump will still have his job this time next year. Colbert will not.
Who cares.
CBS/Paramount is in the process of being purchased by Sky Dance and they don’t want the deadwood like Colberts show when the sign the deal.
So Stevie, who is already perpetually angry, will be getting even angrier, which will shrink his audience even further. Perhaps he should go in the opposite direction by being funny and trying to make people laugh, as comedians are supposed to do. That would boost his ratings.
One Note Johnny
He may not want to do it. He'll have to hire one or two employees to set up a studio at his home. He'll have to put in some work.
He won't have the budget of the The Late Show.
I’m sure he’ll be funnier than ever! /s
If this means he is going to get even more extreme, he may lose it along the way and end up saying something actionable before he’s done.
lol, bring it on colbert
Probably pink lace gloves.
Maybe he’s channeling Johnnie Cochran.
I never listened to this POS when he was on the Daily Show, or his own show. Doesn’t matter to me what he says.
It’s all lies and made-up Leftist fantasy anyways.
