Colbert: ‘Donald Trump Has Done a Lot for Me in the First 100 Days’ (Video)

“Thank you for your service, Mr. President,” surging “Late Show” host says

Stephen Colbert is finally admitting that President Trump is good for business — if your business is a politics-heavy late-night comedy show that relies on selling advertising time to media buyers at a price based solely on TV tune-in.

The “Late Show” host wondered aloud Monday if a recent POTUS tweet citing his positive impact on “S.C.” might stand for “Stephen Colbert.” It definitely did not — but it could, considering the “Daily Show” alum has leapfrogged Jimmy Fallon in average nightly total viewers.

“I gotta say: Donald Trump has done a lot for me in the first hundred days,” the surging CBS personality quipped. “Thank you for your service, Mr. President.”

“And now I feel dirty,” Colbert concluded.

It’s OK, Steve — we all do. Here’s Trump’s tweet:
