Former President Donald Trump expressed approval over the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' on CBS, stating that he 'absolutely loves' that Colbert was fired and criticized his talent and ratings. Trump further claimed that Jimmy Kimmel is next to be canceled, suggesting a broader shakeup in late-night television. In response, Stephen Colbert fired back at Trump with a blunt message, telling him to 'go f— yourself' and indicating that the 'gloves are off' following the show's cancellation. The exchange has escalated with Trump continuing to gloat about the cancellations and predicting that Jimmy Fallon could also be next, while Kimmel and Trump have begun trading barbs publicly.
