Stephen Colbert took aim at both President Donald Trump and his own network executives during a recent episode of The Late Show, using his opening monologue to deliver sharp political and corporate satire.<\/p>\n

During the broadcast, Colbert mocked Trump’s proposal for a so-called “Board of Peace,” which would reportedly require countries to pay a $1 billion fee for permanent membership. Poking fun at the idea, Colbert said, “Trump’s next mission in Davos was debuting a new international club that he calls the Board of Peace, where nations can pay $1 billion for a permanent seat. No surprise that peace has a price.”<\/p>\n

The comedian then turned his attention inward, referencing his own network’s recent legal settlement connected to Trump. Drawing laughter from the audience, Colbert quipped, “Now, admittedly, the idea of paying a billion dollars to obey Donald Trump seems a little steep; after all, CBS got to do it for just $16 million.”<\/p>\n

Colbert’s remarks come as he approaches the final months of his tenure on The Late Show, which is set to end when CBS concludes the long-running franchise later this year. In recent episodes, the host has leaned more openly into political commentary and pointed jokes about media power and corporate decision-making.<\/p>\n

The monologue highlighted Colbert’s continued willingness to challenge both political leadership and network authority, reinforcing late-night television’s role as a space for sharp satire and criticism.<\/p>\n

Colbert has won eleven Primetime Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, and three Peabody Awards.<\/p>\n

Colbert was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2006 and 2012.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
