Fox News viewers turn on Trump after he slams | TV Shows

Fox News viewers could not always be the largest followers of Stephen Colbert, but some turned on Donald Trump after he celebrated the official end of the comic’s late-night show on May 21.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert aired its ultimate episode on Thursday, May 21, after CBS canceled the show and determined to axe its total late-night franchise in 2025, shortly after its then-parent company, Paramount, settled a lawsuit with Trump.

Now, after Colbert’s ultimate episode aired, with his secret ultimate visitor revealed to be Paul McCartney and cameos from a bevy of other celebrities he had beforehand saved under wraps, Trump wasted no time celebrating the news on social media.

Taking to Truth Social, he wrote, “Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person. You could take any person off the street, and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”

However, his message has since drawn rebuke from even loyal Fox News viewers.

After the community lined his response, many took to social media to condemn his feedback.

“What a jealous, vengeful, nasty Teenage boy Trump is. What a loser,” one particular person wrote on X (previously Twitter).

“Colbert has more class, more brains, more humility, more kindness and talent than Trump could ever dream of. He’s a small, petty, insecure, and a jerk. I say that nicely,” a second said.

“Stephen Colbert’s final show demonstrated that he has so many friends who care deeply about him and turned out to support him. Trump has sycophants who are forced to praise him with meaningless, empty accolades,” a third added.

Others slammed the president for focusing on Colbert when there have been larger issues, and shared considerations about what his show being canceled meant.

“The economy is s–t, prices for everything are going up every week, we have another dumb war in the Middle East, and we’re printing a s–t ton of money we don’t have, but this is what the reality TV clown in the White House is worried about,” one particular person said.

“Colbert’s show was one of the top performers in late-night TV, yet it was still canceled over ‘ratings concerns.’ Anyone who doesn’t see this as an attack on free speech isn’t thinking clearly,” another wrote.

Colbert’s ultimate episode featured visitor cameos by Bryan Cranston, Paul Rudd, Tim Meadows, Tig Notaro, and Ryan Reynolds, who all appeared in the studio viewers, before McCartney was revealed to be his true ultimate visitor.

The episode then noticed Colbert summoned backstage for an emergency of a wormhole that opened up to suck the Ed Sullivan Theatre up, which led to further cameos from Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Elijah Wood, and Andy Cohen.

The sequence concluded with Colbert, Elvis Costello, Jon Batiste, and bandleader Louis Cato becoming a member of McCartney on stage to sing the Beatles traditional, “Hello, Goodbye,” before the whole workers also joined them.

The quantity ended with McCartney turning off the lights at the enduring theatre, which proved a full-circle second for him, since the venue was the first place he performed with the Beatles in the United States.
