Stephen Colbert labeled himself a “martyr” for getting his flailing late-night CBS show canned — while telling President Trump on-air to “go f–k yourself.”
Colbert, who is one of Trump’s most persistent late-night critics, fired off the revolting insult during his “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” monologue late Monday after the president gloated about the 61-year-old comic’s firing.
“How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism?” Colbert told his audience.
“Go f–k yourself.”
He lashed out at Trump after the prez took to Truth Social late last week, to say “I absolutely love that Colbert was fired” and speculated that fellow late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was next.
Colbert was quick to joke on Monday: “Absolutely not.”
“Kimmel, I am the martyr. There’s only room for one on this cross. And the view is fantastic from up here. I can see your house,” he said.
He vowed, too, to only ramp up his criticism now his time on CBS was nearing the end.
“They made one mistake, they left me alive. For the next 10 months, the gloves are off,” he said.
It comes after Colbert revealed last week on air that CBS was axing the franchise from May 2026, with the network publicly blaming financial reasons for the decision.
The announcement came just days after Colbert had ripped a $16 million settlement Paramount, the parent company of CBS, had reached with the Trump administration.
Colbert had said the technical name in legal circles for the Paramount deal, whose pending sale to Skydance Media needs the Trump administration’s approval, was “big fat bribe.”
