Colbert said to Trump “ Go f — Yours’ after the president has exulted on the cancellation of ‘late show’
Stephen Colbert had a succinct message to President Trump, the one who involved an anatomical impossibility.
In his monologue which opens the “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Monday, Colbert referred to the sudden celebration of Trump’s Trump to chop the show. The American president, in an article on Truth Social last Friday, wrote: “I love the fact that Colbert was dismissed. His talent was even less than his notes.”
With an indignation simulation, Colbert said, “How do you dare, sir? Could a man without talent compose the following satirical spirit? ”
Colbert then appeared in a setting on the screen that said “Eloquence Cam” and, looking directly in the camera, said in a new York cut accent: “Go kiss yourself.” (The F bomb was breathtaking.) The line attracted a huge roar of public approval in the Ed Sullivan theater, followed by the cheers of “Stephen! Stephen! Stephen!”
In the monologue, Colbert noted that Trump also said in his online article: “I hear that Jimmy Kimmel is the next one” to be dismissed. To which Colbert said: “No, no, no. Absolutely not. Kimmel, I’m the martyr. There is only room for a on this cross. And the view is fantastic from up there. I can see your house!”
“The Late Show” published an overview of the monologue of June 21 of Colbert on Instagram before the broadcast of CBS of the show with the legend: “sticks and stones can break our bones, but the presidential strings can never hurt us.”
Before the recording on Monday, a crowd of a hundred demonstrators gathered in front of the Midtown Manhattan Ed Sullivan Theater, shouting: “Trump must go, Colbert must stay”, according to an article on X of James Martin, publisher at America Magazine. This was added to several hundred others while waiting to enter to see the show.
Colbert had announced the dismissal of the program to the public “late” during the recording on Thursday, July 17, and this video was shared online. Colbert said he had discovered the decision on Wednesday evening. He expressed his gratitude to fans, staff and CBS leaders (saying that “CBS people have been large partners”) but also regret that the network was coming out late at night: “[I]T is a fantastic work. I would like someone else to get her.
Colbert’s guests Monday should be Sandra Oh and Dave Franco actors. He returned after retired on Friday (when CBS broadcast a replay from the episode of June 24 with John Cena and Lorde).
CBS, by announcing the cancellation of “The Late Show”, said that it was “a purely financial decision” and that the program of the show follows a slide of several years in the economy of the end of the evening. The next season will be the 11th and last season of Colbert’s show on the network, completing its race in May 2026.
But the news also came two weeks after CBS parent, Paramount Global, said that he would pay $ 16 million to Trump to settle his alleging trial that an “60 -minute” interview with Kamala Harris has been misleading. On July 14, Colbert had declared on his program that the regulations of the mother company of CBS was “a big bridge pot”, alleging that Paramount had made the payment because the company seeks to obtain the approval of the Trump administration to merge with Skydance Media.
Trump reviews, including senator Elizabeth Warren, Massachusetts Democrat, suggested that CBS cancellation of Colbert’s program was linked to the primordial regulations with the president. Warren previously characterized the Paramount / CBS colony as “corruption”. “America deserves whether its program has been canceled for political reasons,” Warren said in a press release on July 17. On Friday, the Writers Guild of America asked the prosecutor general of the New York State to investigate the circumstances concerning the cancellation of “The Late Show”, the union saying that it had “important concerns that the cancellation of the end of the late program is a bridge pot, sacrificing freedom of expression for Curry favorable to the Trump administration while the company is looking for a merger approval.”
Monday, Warren and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Ron Wyden sent a letter to the CEO of Skydance, David Ellison, asking if Skydance and Trump had a “secret agreement” outside the Paramount regulations. Trump said the regulation was in fact worth up to $ 35 million when taking “advertising”. In the letter, the senators also asked Ellison if he “or other Skydance leaders” were “involved in discussions on the cancellation of the late program with Stephen Colbert”. According to CBS, Skydance did not play any role in the decision to cancel the late evening program. (Skydance refused to comment.)
Colbert, in the video of July 17, told the public: “Before I start the show, I want to let you know something that I discovered last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will end” The Late Show “in May.”
After the public reacted with cries of dismay and hoots, Colbert continued: “Yeah, I share your feelings. It is not only the end of our program, but it is the end of” The Late Show “on CBS. I am not replaced. It is only big partners.
“And of course, I am grateful to you, the public, who joined us every night here, there, all over the world, Mr. and Mrs. America, and all ships at sea,” said Colbert. “I am grateful to share the scene with this group, these artists here every night. And I am extraordinarily, deeply grateful to the 200 people who work here. We can make this show for you every day, all day. And I had the pleasure and the responsibility to share what we do every day with you. Gang of idiots for another 10 months.
