🗣Stephen Colbert pokes fun at Trump’s poor TV ratings: ‘If I were CBS, I’d cancel him’..🩷

Stephen Colbert just took a page out of President Donald Trump’s playbook while mocking the State of the Union.

Trump has frequently insulted Colbert and other popular late night hosts for having low television ratings and has called for those hosts’ shows to be canceled. But on Thursday, Colbert jabbed Trump for his low viewership during his State of the Union address earlier this week.

“The Nielsen ratings for his speech are in. Trump’s talk-a-thon saw an 11% decrease from last year. Donald Trump is really dragging down broadcast television,” Colbert said on “The Late Show.”

“I mean, if I were CBS, I’d cancel him,” he quipped.

Colbert was referencing Paramount’s announcement that it would be canceling the “Late Show” starting in May. Colbert and other critics have spoken out against the move, suggesting that the Trump administration may have influenced Paramount’s decision.

Colbert then touted his own television ratings during Tuesday’s State of the Union compared to last year’s.

“But you know, linear television is doomed, and everyone’s ratings are going down, right? I’m sorry. What’s that? Our ratings were up 7%?” he said.

“I’m up 7%. Wow. Holy cow. You know what? You know what I think is going on? People may not like watching Trump, but they do like watching me, not like watching Trump,” Colbert said as the audience chanted “Stephen.”

“Preliminary viewership for Trump’s speech is coming in around 32.6 million. Compare that to the Super Bowl, which got over four times as much,” he added.
