"You know how they say there's no such thing as bad publicity? They're not talking about this," the recently axed late night host says.

The Late Show' host Stephen Colbert said President Donald Trump's attacks on Barack Obama were distracting from his handling of the Epstein files.

Colbert called it an “insane thing” to put on social media. “If you or I put up an AI video depicting the violent arrest of a former president, we would get a free ride in a windowless van to FBI headquarters, where they would put us to work redacting Trump’s name from the Epstein file,” Colbert said. And that may not even be the worst of it.

Colbert’s late show on CBS has never won a TV Academy prize. The president could well now have changed that. The video plays like a cave painting from the Neolithic era or, even more distantly, from when late-night television still mattered: Stephen Colbert sits in the host chair and makes amends with Donald Trump.

Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and John Oliver joined Weird Al Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to support Stephen Colbert after 'The Late Show's' cancellation by appearing in a segment inspired by the Coldplay kiss-cam incident.
