Stephen Colbert didn’t hold back in response to Donald Trump’s social media post.

On Monday, during his first show since announcing that “The Late Show” will be canceled in 2026, Colbert shot back at the President of the United States.

“How dare you, sir?” Colbert said during the show. “Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go (expletive) yourself,” Colbert said in his July 21 “Late Show” monologue.

Last week, Trump said on his Truth Social post that “I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings.”

Colbert then broke down Trump’s post.

“Nope, absolutely not, Kimmel,” Colbert said. “I am the martyr. There’s only room for one on this cross, and I’ve gotta tell you, the view is fantastic from up here. I can see your house!”

Colbert brought out the big guns Monday. Lin-Manuel Miranda and “Weird Al” Yankovic performed Coldplay’s “Viva la Vida,” as Miranda directed the show’s camera operators to scan the audience to re-enact the viral kiss-cam reveal of the embracing Astronomer couple at the July 18 Coldplay concert.

“The Late Show” “couples” featured CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Bravo’s Andy Cohen; fellow late night hosts Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers; “Happy Gilmore 2” stars Adam Sandler and Christopher McDonald as well as a middle-finger-waving John Oliver of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” with Jon Stewart of “The Daily Show.”

The final couple was a cartoon Trump hugging a Paramount logo.

“I just got this note from corporate,” Colbert said when interrupting. “Your song has been canceled. It says here, ‘This is a purely financial decision.’”
