“I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!” he wrote.
“Greg Gutfield is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.” In a segment on Stephen’s show, the host read out Trump’s tweet while doing an impression of the President’s voice.
The audience booed the tweet before Stephen confidently said: “How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?” before turning to a different camera and adding: “Go f**k yourself!”

“We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”
It continued: “This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night. It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.”
Stephen broke the news last Thursday and told viewers: “I want to let you know something I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May.”
