President Donald Trump celebrated Stephen Colbert’s exit from CBS following the ultimate installment of The Late Present on Thursday evening.
Shortly earlier than 2 a.m., Trump posted: “Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”
Colbert, in fact, hosted his closing Late Present on Thursday, a star-studded affair that ended with a efficiency from Paul McCartney. CBS had previously announced that this season can be the present’s final, citing the challenged economics of late evening TV.
However Trump, who has been a frequent critic of a lot of the late evening hosts, took issues additional Friday morning, posting that: “Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, extremely overpaid, not humorous, and really poorly rated Late Night time Tv Hosts.
“Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace!” he added.
It isn’t instantly clear who Trump was referring to, however NBC’s Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon have sometimes caught his ire, whereas ABC late evening host Jimmy Kimmel is a frequent goal. The truth is, the FCC is seeking a review of ABC’s broadcast licenses, in a transfer introduced simply days after Kimmel was the goal of criticism from the president.
