"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.

Stephen Colbert's feud with Trump following CBS' cancellation of "The Late Show" could finally earn his show its first Emmy, a Hollywood Reporter editor suggested.

Colbert’s late show on CBS has never won a TV Academy prize. The president could well now have changed that. The video plays like a cave painting from the Neolithic era or, even more distantly, from when late-night television still mattered: Stephen Colbert sits in the host chair and makes amends with Donald Trump.

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.
