Piers Morgan has hit out at Stephen Colbert following the cancellation of The Late Show, claiming that most US late-night hosts are now “hyper-partisan activist hacks” and that “more will follow” in his footsteps.
The British broadcaster’s comments come after Colbert’s US talk show, which he has presented since 2015, was cancelled by the US broadcaster CBS, in what his supporters believe was a politically motivated act due to the host’s criticism of Donald Trump.
