Now that Stephen Colbert is off the air, President Donald Trump is expecting more to fall.
“Stephen Colbert’s firing from CBS was the ‘Beginning of the End’ for untalented, nasty, highly overpaid, not funny, and very poorly rated Late Night Television Hosts,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Others, of even less talent, to soon follow. May they all Rest in Peace!”
Colbert’s last show from the Ed Sullivan Theatre in New York City aired on Thursday. The host stayed away from politics or direct criticism of Trump during the broadcast for the most part.
He was joined by other late-night comedians and satirists, including Jon Stewart,Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Jimmy Fallon, in the show’s final skit.
During the segment, the group of hosts stood in front of a giant portal that was about to suck Colbert away and joked they, too, may get swept up in it.
In a separate post overnight, Trump wrote it was “amazing that he lasted so long” and that he had “No talent, no ratings, no life.”
