Just as Stephen Colbert and other late-night comics found their political voice, streaming shifted the power dynamics. As their influence waned, Trump’s rose.

In his first episode since announcing "The Late Show's" cancellation, Stephen Colbert had choice words for President Trump, who'd celebrated the news.

In his monologue opening Monday’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert ,” Colbert spoke about Trump’s exulting over CBS ‘s sudden decision to axe the show. “I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings,” the U.S. president wrote on Truth Social on Friday.
