Forget the late-night wars; now we’re diving into a full-on controversy courtesy of President Trump and Stephen Colbert. Trump recently took to social media to clarify that he didn’t get Colbert canned from his talk show—thank you very much! Instead, he claims that CBS decided to part ways with the comedian due to a dreadful “lack of talent” that was costing the network a whopping $50 million a year. That’s a staggering loss; just imagine how many avocado toasts that could buy!
But wait, there’s more! Trump didn’t just stop at dissing Colbert; he also threw jabs at Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, suggesting they might be next if their shows don’t shape up soon. With Comic Kings taking potshots and rumors swirling that Trump’s influence was involved in a major media merger, you have to wonder if late-night television isn’t a stage for true survival of the fittest! The drama just keeps piling up, doesn’t it?
So what do you think? Is the late-night landscape truly based on talent, or is it all about ratings? Dive into the comments! It’s all too entertaining to ignore!
