Donald Trump's supporters aren't letting Stephen Colbert think he ate with his clap-back at the president's scathing comments.

The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has never won any Emmy in its previous nine seasons despite some notable streaks of excellence. (It has been nominated 31 times.) For much of that period, it competed in late-night’s top category against Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, which Emmy voters love the way Oliver loves a minor-league baseball team .

Given that the last “celebrity” in the crowd was a cartoon Donald Trump, seemingly drawn in the style of the Colbert-produced Tooning Out The News, Miranda said, “Tell me this has nothing to do with who we just put a spotlight on.”

CBS parent Paramount insists that this week's decision to cancel Steven Colbert's “Late Show” was strictly financial, and had nothing to do with politics.

More than a dozen high-profile news anchors and hosts have left their roles or had their shows canceled. See who's been impacted in recent months.

Kelly said on her show Friday that Colbert took “The Late Show” ― which was started by David Letterman ― and “completely drove it into the ground.” “He desperately wanted to be Keith Olbermann,” she said.

CBS’ decision to cut ties with Stephen Colbert and its decades-old “Late Show” franchise come next May will leave a major hole in the format — but one that has been widening. TV networks have been cutting costs at their late-night mainstays for the past few years.

Stephen Colbert's friends and colleagues are in shock at The Late Show's surprise cancellation.
