Stephen Colbert has returned to the stage in New York for his first full program after CBS announced it was canceling his “Late Show” next May.

Donald Trump is already lying about why CBS’s The Late Show With Stephen Colbert was canceled. “I absolutely love that Colbert’ got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning.

In the wake of the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's "The Late Show", Donald Trump has taken to social media to express his joy at the decision.

CBS has canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just a few days after Colbert criticised the network’s parent company, Paramount, for its high-profile settlement with President Trump.
