Stephen Colbert Fires Back at Trump After Show’s Cancellation — ‘I’m Not Done Yet!’

Stephen Colbert is not backing down — even after CBS announced the upcoming cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Set to end in May 2026, the late-night host continues to take sharp aim at former President Donald Trump with his signature political humor. In a recent monologue, Colbert mocked Trump’s denial of ever visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, joking that Trump seemed more upset about losing his omelet chef than addressing the serious allegations surrounding Epstein. The biting humor didn’t stop there. After Trump publicly celebrated the cancellation of The Late Show, Colbert responded directly on-air with a pointed, unfiltered message, reminding audiences why he remains one of the most fearless voices in late-night television. While CBS cites financial reasons for the show’s ending, some speculate that political pressures may have played a role — particularly after Colbert criticized Paramount’s multimillion-dollar settlement with Trump. As debate grows over the future of political comedy, Colbert’s unshaken stance proves that his comedic fight isn’t over. Whether on TV or another platform, Stephen Colbert’s sharp, unapologetic commentary on Trump and other political figures will continue to resonate, shaping the next chapter of political satire.
