Colbert spoke of his joy in hosting the show for so long. The show team refers to the production as “the joy machine,” Colbert said, explaining it must run like a machine. But he added, “If you choose to do it with joy, it doesn’t hurt as much when your fingers get caught in the gears.”.....
Trump cheered the show’s demise with a derogatory post on his social media platform Friday.
“Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life,” Trump wrote on Truth Social after Colbert’s last broadcast wrapped. “He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone!”....
Colbert himself avoided mentioning Trump, but he didn’t ignore the opportunity to take a jab at CBS. Referring to the array of costly lawsuits filed by the copyright owners of the iconic “Peanuts” theme song, Colbert instructed his band to go ahead and play the tune.
“Oh no, I hope this doesn’t cost CBS any money!” Colbert exclaimed to his studio audience, which erupted in laughter......
Trump, who is notoriously sensitive to late-night criticism, has repeatedly attacked Colbert over his cutting sarcasm on the administration’s policies. Colbert has mocked Trump’s relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, his justification for the Iran war and the Department of Justice’s $1.8 billion “slush fund,” to name a few.
I normally watch MS NOW including DVR of Nicole's show. Last night, I watched all of this show and was in tears.

Weston Riley, I found it on a LMPV's thread. 
Just the bottom one.. It's Colbert taking care of business.

the "Blue" and got confused. It says right on there.. watch on X 
It's Colbert throwing PEDO into the Dumpster saying.. And, that's how you clean the Swamp. 
.
Though in defense of swamps, they, at least, are something naturally occurring, like deserts, mountains, and glaciers.
They've vibrant and complex ecosystems.
CESSPOOLS however, like that of Trump & Co., do NOT. They're just full of S*** 
Let's drain the CESSPOOL.
Thanks, Cha. 
beautiful part of nature. And, as you say, a vibrant and complex ecosystem.
I think the person who started Draining the Swamp didn't understand about Swamps.
Cesspool Works really well. Drain he Csspool of PEDO and all the Make America Grotesque Again cult.
Mahalo, B.Se

Every other president but the fucking asshole has not only been able to take a joke, they've been on these shows. Our happiness doesn't matter anymore, only the fuckhead's does.
