Talking to the audience, the Late Show host addressed how Trump recently banned various publications - including CNN, the BBC, and The New York Times - from attending an off-camera White House “gaggle”.

"I've spent the whole day yelling about trump to the animals!" he told the audience, before laying into the current President.

“Finally thought you had met your match… Kick him to the curb. It is time to get your groove back, media.”

Meanwhile, Colbert recently joked about Trump’s media bashing, talking primarily about The Washington Post and their recent change of slogan.
