Colbert Mocks Record-Low Trump Kennedy Center Honors Ratings
Stephen Colbert mocks Donald Trump after the Kennedy Center Honors ratings hit an all-time low of 3 million viewers, compared to Colbert's 9.25 million in 2015.
Colbert's audience was three times larger. The late-night host just delivered a reality check to Donald Trump after his hosting debut flopped in the ratings. Late Show host Stephen Colbert didn't hold back as he compared his own past performance to Donald Trump's recent Kennedy Center Honors gig, which tanked among viewers.
Trump Kennedy Center Honors Ratings Hit All-Time Low
According to reports, Donald Trump hosted the prestigious event for the first time late last month. Despite his bold predictions that the show would attract its highest ratings ever, the reality on CBS was starkly different. The broadcast pulled in just 3 million viewers, marking an all-time low for the program. Colbert gleefully highlighted this gap between expectation and reality, noting that Trump's prediction was as far off as possible.
Colbert vs Trump: The 9.25 Million Benchmark
Colbert put the numbers into historical context by referencing his own hosting tenure. When he first hosted the Kennedy Center Honors in 2015, he attracted over 9.25 million viewers. That's more than 3 times the audience Trump commanded. "It is beneath me to gloat," Colbert quipped, before proceeding to do exactly that by calling Trump "no talent" and "low-rated," mocking the former president's own signature insults.
