Stephen Colbert shares a pointed message after President Trump celebrated CBS's stunning decision to end 'The Late Show.' Late-night hosts Jon Stewart, John Oliver and others rally behind Colbert.

As host of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the comedian has been successful, receiving critical praise and leading the program to regularly becoming the top-rated late-night show, outpacing his younger rivals Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel — albeit against the backdrop of what Reuters termed “late-night TV’s fade-out.

Several comedians and talk-show hosts appeared in a sketch that also featured an animated Trump hugging the Paramount logo.

Colbert’s late show on CBS has never won a TV Academy prize. The president could well now have changed that. The video plays like a cave painting from the Neolithic era or, even more distantly, from when late-night television still mattered: Stephen Colbert sits in the host chair and makes amends with Donald Trump.

Stephen Colbert announced "The Late Show" was cancelled three nights after revealing his summer mustache on air. Coincidence?

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld is the ratings king of late night with 3.1 million average viewers, despite what Stephen Colbert may be telling his audience.

Monday night's (July 21) show also featured kiss cam-style pop-ins from supportive fellow talkers Anderson Cooper, Jimmy Fallon, Jon Stewart and Adam Sandler.

Stephen Colbert spoofed that viral Coldplay concert clip with help from several fellow late-night hosts, plus Lin-Manuel Miranda and Weird Al.
