Colbert Mocks Kennedy Center Honors Ratings: "No Talent, Low-Rated Donald Trump"
""Trump's invasion of Venezuela on Saturday threw off my plans for what I really wanted to talk about this week, which of course is how this year's Kennedy Center honors drew an all-time low viewership on CBS with host Donald Trump," Colbert remarked. "Nobody saw that coming... I'm sorry, I read that wrong. Uh, nobody saw that." "The president managed to draw only 3 million viewers on CBS,""
""Then again, maybe we should cut the guy some slack," Colbert continued. "After all, it was just his first year hosting. As a former Kennedy Center host myself, I know it can take a while to build an audience," before pointing out that his own turn as host of the Kennedy Center Honors in 2015 received three times as many views. "And I didn't even name the building after myself!" he added."
Stephen Colbert mocked Donald Trump's hosting of the 2025 Kennedy Center Honors for drawing an all-time low television audience of about three million viewers on CBS. Colbert joked that his own plans were disrupted by a remark about an 'invasion of Venezuela' before mockingly reading that 'nobody saw that' low viewership. He quipped that he would call Trump 'No talent, low-rated Donald Trump' if he were inclined to gloat. Colbert contrasted the 2025 ratings with his 2015 hosting, which drew roughly three times the audience, and joked about not renaming the building after himself.
