Colbert Celebrates Historic Emmy Win for ‘The Late Show,’ Takes Swipe at Trump

Stephen Colbert proudly displayed ‘The Late Show’s’ first-ever Emmy for Outstanding Talk Series on Tuesday night, receiving a thunderous standing ovation and chants from his studio audience. The victory, secured on Sunday, marks a significant milestone for the long-running late-night program.
A visibly grateful Colbert dedicated the award to his dedicated team of 200 professionals, from writers to production staff, and extended his thanks to the audience for their unwavering support. “This award belongs to all 200 of the incredibly hard-working people who make this show,” he stated, adding with his characteristic wit, “So this belongs to you too, but I’m going to keep it.”
Amidst his heartfelt thanks to the Television Academy, Colbert couldn’t resist a pointed remark, noting, “Speaking of Emmys, Donald Trump doesn’t have one.” The win comes as ‘The Late Show’ prepares for its planned conclusion in May 2026, an announcement made by CBS in July, which had sparked industry-wide support for Colbert and his team.
