Donald Trump Denies Involvement in CBS Cancelling “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert”
Former President Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to address rumors that he was behind the cancellation of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on CBS. Trump refuted these claims, stating that the decision to end the show was due to financial losses and a lack of talent.
According to Trump, the show was costing CBS $50 million a year in losses, and Colbert’s alleged lack of talent was the primary reason for its cancellation. Trump insisted that he was not responsible for Colbert’s departure and emphasized that the decision was purely business-related.
Trump also took aim at other late-night hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, suggesting that they may be next in line for cancellation. He criticized their talent and claimed that their shows were also at risk due to low ratings.
While Trump did not mention Seth Meyers in his post, the host of “Late Night With Seth Meyers” recently expressed concerns about the future of his show. Meyers acknowledged that the fate of late-night television is uncertain and that external factors may ultimately determine the success or failure of these programs.
