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.

Network late-night shows have been losing viewers for years, but Colbert‘s program is primed for a ratings bump right now.

That said, Oliver is "looking forward to seeing what [Colbert’s] going to do next because that man will not stop."
