CBS is canceling “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” next May, shuttering a decades-old TV institution and removing from air one of President Donald Trump’s most prominent late night critics.

Trump denied the report. “I never wrote a picture in my life,” he told the newspaper. “I don’t draw pictures of women.” Trump later confirmed his plans to seek legal action against the newspaper; its parent company, News Corp.; and Rupert Murdoch, the organization’s head.

“ Late Show ” host Stephen Colbert went after President Donald Trump on Thursday, the same day it was announced that his show had been canceled. And he focused on two issues the president does not like to talk about: his health, and his links to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a move commenters described as having "Craig Ferguson vibes," Stephen Colbert and Joaquin Phoenix spent the last moments of their Late Show interview in awkward silence.

The 34-year-old comedian was spotted outside "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" with the new 'do on Tuesday.

Joaquin Phoenix says he regrets his 2009 interview with David Letterman on "The Late Show," calling it "one of the worst nights of my life."
