Last week, CBS cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and a lot of people are speculating that Donald Trump played a part in it. That is because Paramount just settled a lawsuit with the president over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris. They believe that part of that agreement was the cancellation of Colbert’s show, due to the fact that he has been a vocal opponent of Trump since he came down the escalator.
After the cancellation went public, Mr. Orange said he loved that Colbert was fired. However, what he didn’t realize is that Colbert still has ten months left of his contract. That’s right. From now until May, the host can say whatever he wants, and there is nothing potus can do about it. I mean, he has already been fired. What are they going to do, fire him again?
So, yesterday, Colbert got in the ring, took off the gloves, and went below the belt. He did this by showing us that Trump’s scribbled signature is like the pubic hair of a naked lady drawn on a birthday card to a former BFF, Jeffrey Epstein. And now that image will forever be stuck in my head.
Back to the monologue. Colbert had a message for his enemy: “Go fuck yourself!” And the audience loved it, as did I.
They also loved it when he came out of commercial break and brought out Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to cheer him up with a song. The two songwriters picked a Coldplay song to perform as the camera panned the audience and showed the other East Coast late night hosts, Andy Cohen, Anderson Cooper, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart, and John Oliver, supporting him.
Because these are not the days of Jay Leno and David Letterman, or Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. The late night hosts have banded together, and Trump has opened a can of whoop ass on himself.
Trump is too dumb to realize that you don’t want to pick on the wrong kid because they will fight back and win. If his feelings were hurt before this, just wait. They are just getting started.
