Following minor outrage over an apparently ‘homophobic’ joke, some Tweeters began calling on CBS to fire their anti-Donald Trump late night host Stephen Colbert.
The remarkable week marks another ratings win for Colbert: for the past fourteen consecutive weeks, The Late Show has beaten its closest rival, The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
The Late Show host has consistently mocked the Trump administration, reviving past alter-egos to mock the President and bringing Jon Stewart back to comment on the situation.
Over the week, an average of 3.06 million tuned in, 12 percent up from the week before, according to Nielsen data.
