In his monologue opening Monday’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert ,” Colbert spoke about Trump’s exulting over CBS ‘s sudden decision to axe the show. “I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” the U.S. president wrote on Truth Social on Friday.

In case anyone worried Stephen Colbert was going to go quietly into the night after CBS canceled The Late Show, it’s clear he won’t. In an early clip posted from tonight’s show, Colbert responded to President Trump’s gleeful social media post about his firing.

Though the cancellation comes days after Stephen Colbert criticized Paramount for settling a Trump lawsuit, the company said it was 'purely a financial decision.'
