In the tumult of President Donald Trump pouting about late-night show hosts being mean to him, there has been some fallout. Stephen Colbert, who picked up the mantle for David Letterman in 2015 to host "The Late Show," found his show getting the axe in July of 2025. Though the move was reportedly due to financial instability, according to PBS , it still felt like some screws were turned behind the scenes to prevent a massive ego meltdown from the executive in chief. However, we're once again watching for Trump to have one of his social media meltdowns now that Colbert has received a long and rousing standing ovation at the 2025 Emmys.
