Stephen Colbert took a pointed shot at his network’s leadership Thursday night while also mocking Donald Trump over the so-called Board of Peace’s billion-dollar membership fee, quipping that CBS paid “just $16 million” to “obey” the president.

And he let his audience know on Thursday that he wouldn’t be slowing down as his last day approaches.
