As issues shake out, Donald Trump has been vocal about Colbert, and is now taking goal at Seth Meyers
Colbert has been joking about what’s subsequent after his present ends, however of us have been questioning if extra late night time firings may happen. Whereas followers are sounding off in regards to the cancellation, President Trump is taking to Fact Social to take pictures at a lot of the late night time hosts. Working example: the next publish that criticized Seth Meyers. As he put it:
There’s a sick rumor going round that Faux Information NBC prolonged the contract of one of many least gifted Late Evening tv hosts on the market, Seth Meyers. He has no Scores, Expertise, or Intelligence, and the Character of an insecure youngster. So, why would Faux Information NBC prolong this dope’s contract. I don’t know, however I’ll positively be discovering out!!!
Trump taking goal on the SNL alum in all probability is not all that shocking if you happen to watch Late Evening with Seth Meyers. Throughout his presidencies Meyers and his group repeatedly filmed a section referred to as “A Nearer Look”, the place he would criticize and poke enjoyable at Trump and his administration. So this sort of take down on-line was probably a very long time coming for the President, and follows swimsuit given he beforehand commented on Colbert getting axed.
After all, Meyers is not the one one which Donald Trump is posting bout on Fact Social. In one other publish he additionally made claims in regards to the abilities of Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, the latter of which really hosted him on The Tonight Present. Because the Apprentice host put it:
All people is saying that I used to be solely accountable for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Evening. That isn’t true! The rationale he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the truth that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million {Dollars} a yr in losses — And it was solely going to get WORSE! Subsequent up will likely be a fair much less gifted Jimmy Kimmel, after which, a weak, and really insecure, Jimmy Fallon. The one actual query is, who will go first? Present Biz and Tv is a quite simple enterprise. If you happen to get Scores, you possibly can say or do something. If you happen to don’t, you at all times change into a sufferer. Colbert turned a sufferer to himself, the opposite two will comply with.
Kimmel referred to as out CBS after Colbert’s cancellation, which can be one more reason why the comic has acquired the ire of Trump. However total it looks like not one of the late night time hosts are exempt from the President’s disdain, particularly since a lot of them use their platform to publicly criticize him.
Donald Trump seemingly pays quite a lot of consideration to tv, notably how he is portrayed. South Park has been throwing a ton of shade on the president, which has been getting extra consideration given the late night time modifications and rumors that networks are backing off of the President. Colbert praised South Park for its portrayal, however solely time will inform if some other late night time hosts find yourself shedding their gigs.
New episodes of The Late Present with Stephen Colbert are nonetheless airing in the intervening time as a part of the 2025 TV schedule. That collection is predicted to finish in Could of 2026.
