Stephen Colbert wasted no time in addressing President Donald Trump's recent comments about the late-night host, declaring "I won."
Transcript
00:00The president of the United States has personally come after me and my show.
00:06Stephen Colbert wasted no time Thursday night firing back at President Donald Trump
00:11following his recent comments about the late night host.
00:14After Trump said he was a no-talent host with filthy things to say in an interview with Time magazine,
00:20Colbert, of course, felt there was really only one thing to say.
00:23As the crowd erupted into a Stephen chant, he actually found a few more things to say to the president.
00:31There's a lot you don't understand, but I never thought one of those things would be show business.
00:36Don't you know I've been trying a year to get you to say my name?
00:39The commander-in-chief's critique of the host included this take.
00:43There's nothing funny about what he says.
00:45What he says is filthy.
00:47And you have kids watching.
00:48It only builds up my base.
00:49Colbert says Trump wasn't wrong in that he does occasionally use adult language in public,
00:55just not, as the host clarified, in the privacy of an Access Hollywood bus.
00:59Ooh, he went there.
01:01But Colbert did offer a solution to fix Trump's complaints about his show.
01:04If the president really wants to take him down, there's one obvious way to do it, he said.
01:09Resign.
01:10What would I talk about then?
01:13Accept your resignation, because that'd be fun.
01:15Make sure to check out THR.com to see the full clip for more of Colbert's response to Trump.
01:20And guys, what's your take on this clash?
01:22Let me know in the comments.
01:23For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Paul Gustable, but really, I'm Trump, and I'm huge.
01:28And all right, we're just hoping he says I'm unfunny.
01:30Bye.
