President Donald Trump<\/a> on Wednesday fired another salvo against late-night TV hosts Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> and Jimmy Fallon<\/a> as well as radio icon Howard Stern<\/a>, saying they could soon follow in the footsteps of \u201cLate Show<\/a>\u201d host Stephen Colbert, who was canceled last month<\/a> by CBS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cColbert has no talent,\u201d he said. \u201cFallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They\u2019re next. They\u2019re gonna be going.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Colbert\u2019s show was canceled as CBS\u2019 parent company, Paramount, attempted to complete a merger that required federal approval. The company also paid Trump $16 million<\/a> to settle a lawsuit that most legal experts believed was without merit. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Critics said the company was trying to win Trump\u2019s favor to help the deal pass FCC muster. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It was approved shortly after Colbert was canceled, despite being the highest-rated late-night show. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

CBS said Colbert was canceled because his show was losing money, with some reports claiming the show was losing between $40 million and $50 million a year \u2015 a number Colbert has seemed skeptical of during his evening monologues. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump predicted the other shows would follow in Colbert\u2019s footsteps. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI hear they\u2019re gonna be going,\u201d he said, without elaborating on where he heard that. \u201cI don\u2019t know, but I would imagine, because… Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trump: Colbert has no talent. Fallon has no talent, Kimmel has no talent. They are next. They are going to be going. You know when Howard Stern went down? When he endorsed Hillary Clinton pic.twitter.com\/U5nGeQvVx4<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

A reporter in the room also said that Stern \u201cannounced\u201d that he was \u201cparting ways\u201d with SiriusXM. That hasn\u2019t happened. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

However, the US Sun reported that Sirius would cancel Stern when his contract expires at the end of this year. That report has not yet been verified.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump was a frequent guest on Stern\u2019s show years ago, but clips from those broadcasts frequently resurface and embarrass the president. Just last month, a 2006 clip went viral in which Trump said he had no real \u201cage limit\u201d for dating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds,\u201d he said, referring to a GOP lawmaker who was forced to step down<\/a> in 2006 after he sent lewd messages to young male congressional pages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The clip resurfaced as Trump was trying to distance himself from late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/a>, who was once a close friend.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump on Wednesday said he \u201chasn\u2019t heard\u201d Stern\u2019s name in a while.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI used to do his show. We used to have fun,\u201d he said, then added that Stern\u2019s show \u201cwent down\u201d when he endorsed Hillary Clinton<\/a> for president in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump has spent years railing against late-night shows and hosts that make fun of him, attacking them and threatening their corporate parents. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

After watching Seth Meyers in January, he called the host \u201cdumb and untalented\u201d and \u201cmerely a slot filler for the Scum that runs Comcast.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Then he took aim at the company itself. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThese are not shows or entertainment, they are simply political hits, 100% of the time, to me and the Republican Party<\/a>,\u201d Trump said. \u201cComcast should pay a BIG price for this!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Trump seems to have a special<\/a> degree of hatred for Kimmel. During his first term, Trump reportedly tried to have Kimmel censored<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
