\u201cColbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life. He was like a dead person,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social Friday morning. \u201cYou could take any person off of the street and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he\u2019s finally gone!\u201d<\/p>\n

Colbert had hosted the late-night program for 11 seasons before the network announced it was canceling the failing series last year due to a \u201cfinancial decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 62-year-old comedian blamed the president for his show being axed following CBS owner Paramount\u2019s legal settlement with Trump.<\/p>\n

Colbert steered away from political blame in his farewell episode, but allowed lead Trump basher Bruce Springsteen to take jabs at the White House in Wednesday\u2019s penultimate show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you\u2019re the first guy in America who\u2019s lost his show because we\u2019ve got a president who can\u2019t take a joke,\u201d Springsteen told the crowd.<\/p>\n
