Stephen Colbert returned to The Late Show following the announcement of its impending cancellation by Paramount. He adopted a bold tone, openly criticizing both Donald Trump and his corporate parent. Colbert declared that he could now speak freely and expressed his disdain for Trump, going so far as to tell him to "go f*** yourself." He questioned the financial reasoning behind the cancellation, highlighting the show's strong ratings and expressing skepticism over claims of significant financial losses.
"The gloves are off! I can finally speak unvarnished truth to power and say what I really think about Donald Trump. Starting now."
"How could it purely be a financial decision if 'The Late Show' is No. 1 in ratings? It's confusing. A lot of folks are asking that question, mainly my staff's parents and spouses."
