Fox News’ Bill Hemmer directly asked Carr whether Trump had “anything” to do with the cancellation of the popular show. Trump has repeatedly attacked Colbert for his criticism of the president on the late night show, and celebrated the news of the show ending last week.

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.

“Elon knew it! He knew it! I always said. I always said that he’s a good guy who’s right about everything,” Colbert said with obvious sarcasm. “I mean, everything. It is a great idea to name a baby 420 Kleep-Klorp 69.” “And this is obviously the most beautiful shape for a car,” Colbert added as a photo of a Tesla Cybertruck appeared on screen.

The Late Show' host Stephen Colbert said President Donald Trump's attacks on Barack Obama were distracting from his handling of the Epstein files.

The senator criticized the president and raised pointed questions about CBS’s decision to end "The Late Show."

"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.

CBS might have cancelled Charleston comedian to score points with Donald Trump, but the show was also losing money, because late-night comedy no longer works.

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.
