“Luminarieses,” Colbert repeated as the audience laughed. “Somebody’s ‘brain power’ is in low battery mode.” He rolled a clip of Trump complaining about the term “artificial intelligence” because “I don’t like anything that’s artificial.” Given the president’s famous love of fast food and Diet Coke, Colbert found that claim hard to swallow.

The Late Show' host Stephen Colbert said President Donald Trump's attacks on Barack Obama were distracting from his handling of the Epstein files.

"You know how they say there's no such thing as bad publicity? They're not talking about this," the recently axed late night host says.

Fox News’ Bill Hemmer directly asked Carr whether Trump had “anything” to do with the cancellation of the popular show. Trump has repeatedly attacked Colbert for his criticism of the president on the late night show, and celebrated the news of the show ending last week.

The senator criticized the president and raised pointed questions about CBS’s decision to end "The Late Show."

After the Wall Street Journal's report on Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Stephen Colbert joked that Elon Musk is "always right about everything."

Stephen Colbert is not holding back. After the comedian announced that CBS has decided to end the “Late Show” franchise after more than 30 years in May 2026, all eyes were on his first broadcast since revealing the news.

Trump again celebrated the canceling of Colbert’s show on Tuesday, hinting that he may have had something to do with it. He also took aim at ABC host Jimmy Kimmel and NBC’s “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon.
