Donald Trump, the former U.S. president, hinted at having a message for Stephen Colbert before the latter's final episode of The Late Show on CBS. Colbert, who has hosted the show since 2015, is concluding his 11-year run with an extended finale scheduled for Thursday night. CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show last year, shortly after Colbert criticized the network's parent company, Paramount, for a $16 million settlement with Trump, which he described as a 'big, fat bribe.' Trump responded to Colbert's criticism by claiming that the cancellation was due to a lack of talent on Colbert's part, suggesting it cost CBS $50 million annually. In a recent interview, Colbert stated he had 'no fear' of the Trump administration and dismissed concerns about the political implications of his show's cancellation. Meanwhile, fellow talk-show host Jimmy Kimmel expressed his disapproval of the situation, empathizing with Colbert's crew being let go. The finale's details remain vague, with CBS yet to announce guest appearances or the exact runtime.
