US EditionColbert jokes about ‘cancel culture’ and has a very pointed message for President Donald Trump
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 22 – Stephen Colbert condemned political motives behind The Late Show's cancellation, highlighting Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump and a $40-50 million annual loss, critics say.
- On Monday, Stephen Colbert used his monologue to address CBS's cancellation, stating `the gloves are off` as it winds down over 10 months.
- Last week, sources told The Independent that the cancellation was part of a `Trump shakedown` after Paramount Global settled a $16m lawsuit and planned an $8.4bn merger with Skydance funded by Larry Ellison.
- Taking aim at Donald Trump, Colbert said `Go f*** yourself`, led the audience in a `go f*** yourselves` chant, and vowed `unvarnished truth to power`.
- On The Daily Show, Jon Stewart argued CBS let its No 1 rated franchise end as the path of least resistance for its $8bn merger, and denounced Paramount for trying to `censor and control` the team.
- Audience backlash is mounting with threats to boycott the network and CBS facing millions of lost viewers including Paramount+ subscribers.
