Stephen Colbert's fiery monologue slamming Donald Trump after Late Show cancellation goes viral; netizens say 'He's on fire'
Stephen Colbert fires back at US President Donald Trump
On Friday, Trump took to the X (formerly called Twitter) account called Truth Social and remarked, "I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.' This was right after Colbert broke the news on air that The Late Show is ending this year.
The post came shortly after Colbert announced on air that The Late Show would be ending this year. Responding to this, Colbert, in a monologue on Monday in the first show since the news broke, adopted a sarcastic tone as he read Trump's comment aloud.
Mocking the criticism, he said, "How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?' He then appeared in an on-screen frame that read Eloquence Cam before he stared directly into the camera lens and said, 'Go f*** yourself.'
Studio erupts in cheers as Stephen Colbert claps back at Donald Trump on The Late Show
The f-bomb was beeped out for the broadcast, but the live studio audience seemed to clearly love it. The moment was met with thunderous applause and chants of Stephen! Stephen! Stephen!' echoing through the studio.
While the preview of the monologue was shared by The Late Show on Instagram too, with a caption reading, 'Sticks and stones may break our bones, but presidential turds can never hurt us.'
Netizens react to Stephen Colbert's response to Donald Trump
As soon as the clip surfaced on social media, it quickly grabbed the attention of netizens. One user on Instagram wrote, "Unconditional love for Stephen Button."
"They done activated the depths of Stephen's superpowers. This show is about to be so beautifully unhinged and we are here for it," another added.
"Colbert is the Best!✨ Great man! Loyal to his wife and the best family man and the best example for our country."
"Please become more unhinged over the next ten months. We deserve some raw martyred Colbert 🤌🏻"
"I LOVE Colbert! He's on fire with NOTHING to lose!!!!"
