In full Grinch mode, the president also grumbled about late-night shows and network newscasts on his social media platform.

After winning an Emmy, Stephen Colbert spoke about creating a “show about love.” In its homestretch, “The Late Show” is fulfilling that promise.

Donald Trump’s primetime address to the nation interrupted the season finale of Survivor on December 17. Hours later on The Late Show, Stephen Colbert joked that listening to Trump talk was like the final challenge for the Survivor contestants.

There was a somber tone across the late night shows on Monday night, as the hosts all took a moment to pay tribute to the late Rob Reiner, who was brutally killed over the weekend along with his wife Michele.

"I believe that years from now, I think we'll all remember where we were when we did not watch Donald Trump's speech last night."

As the Slate podcast host introduces John Dickerson as “formerly of CBS News,” the longtime anchor removed his tie, much to the delight of the audience, as well as Stephen Colbert. The Late Show host jumped up to hug Dickerson and then turned toward the crowd shooting the middle finger up, seemingly to the leadership at Paramount Skydance.
