Since his show was canceled, Colbert — and other hosts of late night — have roasted the president even more than usual. In return, Trump has said that it's "really good" to see Colbert go, and he hopes that he "played a major part in it."

The surprise cancellation of “The Late Show” caught late night comedy talk shows flatfooted, with media giant Paramount citing financial concerns for its ending. It came just after the mega-merger between Paramount and Skydance Media and a legal settlement with Donald Trump.

The co-creator of "The Daily Show," Lizz Winstead, accused CBS of canceling liberal comedian Stephen Colbert's show due to fear of President Trump during an MSNBC interview.
