Trump was 'personally involved' in canceling Stephen Colbert, longtime late night reporter claims
Bill Carter, a longtime late-night reporter, claims President Donald Trump was 'personally involved' in canceling Stephen Colbert's show, citing an AI-generated video mocking Colbert. CBS cited financial issues for the cancellation, but Carter and others argue it was due to Trump's feud with Colbert, who frequently criticized the president. A study found Colbert made 3,639 jokes about Trump in his final years on the show.
