After Colbert announced CBS’ decision to cancel his show, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, on July 17, Trump took to Truth Social the following day to claim that Colbert has no talent. In the same post, he threatened that Kimmel “is next” because he “has even less talent than Colbert.”

Since his show was canceled, Colbert — and other hosts of late night — have roasted the president even more than usual. In return, Trump has said that it's "really good" to see Colbert go, and he hopes that he "played a major part in it."
