Iconic musician Bruce Springsteen<\/strong><\/a> closed the Wednesday, May 20, episode of the CBS late-night talk show with a rendition of his anti-ICE protest song “Streets of Minneapolis,” but not before taking a shot at Trump, 79, and the owners of CBS’ parent company, Paramount Skydance.<\/p>\n

“I am here tonight in support for Stephen because you’re the first guy in America who’s lost his show because we’ve got a president who can’t take a joke,” Springsteen, 76, said<\/a> before his performance.<\/p>\n

“And because Larry<\/strong> and David Ellison<\/strong> feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want,” the rocker added. “Stephen, these are small-minded people \u2026 they got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about.”<\/p>\n

CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show<\/em><\/a> in July 2025, citing financial reasons. However, that hasn’t stopped speculation that the show was canceled for political reasons.<\/p>\n

In the past, Trump has taken aim at Colbert, 62, and his fellow late night hosts. Upon news of the Late Show<\/em>‘s cancellation, the president wrote via his Truth Social<\/a> page, “I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel<\/strong> is next. Has even less talent than Colbert!<\/p>\n

“Greg Gutfeld<\/strong> is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show<\/em>,” he added, referring to Jimmy Fallon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday’s second-to-last program, Colbert reversed roles with his celebrity guests as he took the hot seat and fielded questions from the likes of Robert De Niro<\/strong>, Billy Crystal<\/strong>, Martha Stewart<\/strong>, Tiffany Haddish<\/strong>, Aubrey Plaza<\/strong> and more.<\/p>\n

When De Niro, 82, sat in Colbert’s armchair to grill Colbert in the recurring segment “The Colbert Questionert,”<\/a> the Oscar winner couldn’t resist a jab at Trump.<\/p>\n

After asking Colbert what number he was thinking of (the answer was 3, by the way), De Niro – a staunch critic of the president – quipped, “OK, \u2018cause I thought it would have been 2.5 million. That’s the number of Epstein files Trump still hasn’t released.”<\/p>\n

Colbert’s final episode of The Late Show<\/em> is set to air on Thursday, May 21, on CBS. In an interview with People<\/em><\/a> published on Tuesday, May 19, Colbert teased that his final signoff will be “something simple.”<\/p>\n

“I hope they laughed. I hope they felt better at the end of the day,” he added of his viewers. “I mean, that’s it. We’re there. We’re the last thing you see. A lot of things happen in a day, but we bat last, and so we get the last take that people hear before they go to bed, and I hope it made their day better.”<\/p>\n
