Former President Donald Trump took credit for the demise of late-night comedy shows Monday criticizing Stephen Colbert, Trevor Noah, and Jimmy Kimmel as three hosts with “very little talent.”
Trump also congratulated Fox News host Greg Gutfeld for his recent ratings victory which essentially elevated his status to the king of late-night television.
“It was my great honor to have destroyed the ratings of Late Night ‘Comedy’ shows. There is nothing funny about the shows, the three hosts have very little talent,” Trump wrote on TRUTH Social.
According to Mediate, Trump did not mention Colbert, Noah, or Kimmel by name, instead he “re-truthed” an article published by Fox News Digital which discussed how the three hosts “openly root for Democrats.”
“When Jimmy Fallon for having humanized Trump, and his ratings soared, the Radical left forced him to apologize – that was effectively the end of the Tonight Show,” said Trump.
Last month, Trevor Noah announced that he was stepping from the “Daily Show” after seven years. Noah said he was leaving the show because he wanted to do more stand-up comedy in other cities and countries.
In August, Gutfeld scored higher ratings than “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC, The “Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on NBC, and Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” with Trevor Noah.
