Stephen Colbert praised South Park for its provocative season 27 premiere as his own show faces the axe for criticizing President Donald Trump. The show’s episode featured an AI clip of President Donald Trump stripping naked in the desert.

Colbert’s late show on CBS has never won a TV Academy prize. The president could well now have changed that. The video plays like a cave painting from the Neolithic era or, even more distantly, from when late-night television still mattered: Stephen Colbert sits in the host chair and makes amends with Donald Trump.

After the Wall Street Journal's report on Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, Stephen Colbert joked that Elon Musk is "always right about everything."
