With
The Late Show set to end in 2026, Stephen Colbert is taking the opportunity to throw some shade — especially towards President Donald Trump. The comedian captioned
a clip from his show that he shared on Instagram, "In the words of Elon Musk, 'Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.'" During his monologue, Colbert tells his audience, "There's been a lot of smoking guns in this case, but shortly before we taped this show, we got the smokiest yet — because the Wall Street Journal is now reporting that back in May, Attorney General
Pam Bondi informed the president that his name was in the Epstein files. But he said he hardly knew the guy!"

Stephen Colbert continued his attack at President Donald Trump as he addressed the growing scrutiny over the Jeffrey Epstein documents. "You know how they say there's no such thing as bad publicity? They're not talking about this," he quipped. He went on to say, "The president wasn't alone. An official familiar with the documents said they contain hundreds of other names. Of course, names like Donald Trump, Donald John Trump, Donald J. Trump, Donny Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Father, Big Daddy, Big Daddy Bronzer, aka the Donald and a mystery man known only as microp**** DJT."

Stephen Colbert's Donald Trump takedown comes after CBS confirmed it will cancel The Late Show in May 2026. The network's decision follows Colbert's on-air criticism of its parent company, Paramount Global, for what he described as a "big fat bribe" to Trump, referring to the company's controversial settlement of his 60 Minutes lawsuit. Meanwhile, Paramount is still seeking FCC approval for its $8 billion merger with Skydance Media.
