Trump tried to silence late-night hosts. They're mocking him even more.

As Stephen Colbert prepares for the end of CBS’s “The Late Show” - the finale airs Thursday night - one theme has been on the minds of other late-night hosts.

“I’m Seth Meyers,” NBC’s “Late Night” host told the crowd gathered at an NBC industry preview event in New York last week. “Or as the FCC calls me: ‘Next.’”

“Yes, the president tried to get me canceled over the last six months. That’s one way to look at it,” ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel said at a network event last week. “Another way is you could also say I’ve ‘generated unparalleled engagement across a variety of platforms.’”

President Donald Trump has long been critical of the late-night comedy shows that roast him daily. But his second term has been marked by his hostility toward late-night comics and his administration taking action against the networks that carry these shows. In some cases, networks made programming decisions that carried suspicions of political interference.
