Late-Night TV’s ‘CREEPS’ Respond to Donald Trump’s ‘Welcome Back’ Message — Watch Video – Yahoo Entertainment
After taking aim at late-night TV, former President Donald Trump really should’ve expected the retaliation.
At 1:05 am Tuesday, Trump took shots at the hosts of late-night TV writing on Truth Social, “Now that the ‘strike’ is over, the talentless, low-rated CREEPS of late night television are back. I knew there was a reason I didn’t want to see it settled. True LOSERS!!!”

At the top of Jimmy Kimmel Live that night, Kimmel made note that “not everyone is glad to see us,” referencing Trump’s post. “This from a man who’s such a loser, he buried his ex-wife on a golf course just so he could continue cheating on her!”
The host then said it “almost reads like a network promo,” which launched a faux-commercial for late-night’s return to the airwaves, including a voiceover that announced, “The true losers are back!”
He ended his bit on Trump by stating that the former president does know “talentless, loser creeps. In fact, he fathered two of them,” as a photo of Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr. flashed on-screen. (Watch Kimmel’s full monologue embedded above.)
The Late Show With Stephen Colbert also clocked Trump’s late-night attack. After reading Trump’s social media post using his Trump impersonation, Colbert thanked him for watching before poking fun at his own network, CBS. “I’m not surprised. He’s a 77-year-old white guy. Of course he’s watching CBS!”
Colbert continued: “Low-rated Creeps of Late Night… how did he find out our original podcast title?”
The host also made jokes about using Trump’s words as part of a new Times Square billboard. (Watch Colbert’s Trump segment below, starting at 7:20.)
