Stephen Colbert, humoriste critique féroce de Donald Trump, tire sa révérence sur CBS – Le Monde.fr

Stephen Colbert is concluding his tenure as the host of The Late Show on CBS, marking the end of a period defined by his sharp and frequent critiques of Donald Trump.

The departure of the comedian and host brings a close to a high-profile era of political satire on the network, as reported by Le Monde.

The conclusion of the program has drawn a direct reaction from Donald Trump, who expressed satisfaction with the show’s end. According to Sud Ouest, Trump commented on the departure of the host, stating that he was like a dead man and adding, Thank God, he is finally gone!

The friction between the former president and the late-night host was a central theme throughout Colbert’s time on the program. Ladepeche reported that Trump further criticized the host, claiming that Colbert cannot tolerate a joke.

Colbert, in turn, has used his platform to denounce the influence of the American president, positioning his humor as a counter-narrative to the political landscape.

The end of the show marks the conclusion of a legacy for a program that has existed for 33 years, according to Ladepeche.

As Colbert prepared for his final appearances, he received support from several prominent figures in music and entertainment. Le HuffPost noted that the host was joined by a selection of high-profile supporters for his farewell, including Paul McCartney, Bryan Cranston, and Reynolds.

The transition marks a significant shift for CBS and the late-night television landscape, which has long been a primary venue for the political commentary and satirical analysis provided by Colbert.
