“The Roast That Broke the Room: Inside Trump’s Reported Reaction to Colbert and Carrey”

What was meant to be a relaxed holiday evening at Mar-a-Lago reportedly took a sharp turn on December 23, 2025, as former President Donald Trump watched The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside a small circle of friends and advisers. According to multiple insiders familiar with the situation, Trump became visibly enraged after a blistering segment featuring Colbert and a surprise appearance by Jim Carrey — a moment many viewers are already calling the most ruthless late-night roast of the year.

The episode opened with Colbert’s trademark monologue, sharp and unapologetic. He skewered Trump’s political legacy as “a show collapsing in real time,” weaving jokes about ongoing legal troubles, recent controversial remarks, and what he described as “an ego spiral that never hits the brakes.” The audience roared when Colbert capped it off with, “He doesn’t lie — he just updates reality whenever it stops working for him.”

Then came the surprise that escalated the night.

Jim Carrey suddenly burst onto the stage, reviving the Trump parody that once dominated late-night television between 2017 and 2020. Dressed in a red suit, oversized golden wig, and armed with a spot-on impression, Carrey immediately sent the studio into hysterics.

“I’m the most truthful human who’s ever lived!” Carrey declared, perfectly mimicking Trump’s cadence. “I never make mistakes — the universe does! I made America great… then greater… then the greatest… and now I’m doing it again, even greater this time!”

Carrey didn’t stop there. He took aim at election fraud claims, civil lawsuits, media feuds, and recent political statements. “My crowds are the biggest! Bigger than Jesus! Bigger than Taylor Swift! Everybody loves me — except the losers and the failing comedians standing right here!” The crowd erupted as Colbert chimed in, asking whether Trump would respond online. Carrey shot back, “Oh, absolutely. He’ll call us ‘enemies of the people’ before the show ends.”

Back at Mar-a-Lago, witnesses say the mood shifted fast.

Sources claim Trump sprang from his seat midway through Carrey’s segment, pacing the room and yelling at aides. “Turn this garbage off right now!” he reportedly shouted. “Who let that washed-up clown back on TV? Colbert is the dumbest man on television!” One insider said Trump slammed his hand on a table, branding Carrey a “deranged failure” and demanding someone “shut this broadcast down immediately.”

Within hours, clips of the segment exploded online, pulling in millions of views across social media. Hashtags like #ColbertCarreyRoast and #TrumpMeltdown surged to the top of trending lists on X and TikTok. Many viewers labeled it the harshest late-night takedown Trump has ever faced — eclipsing even Alec Baldwin’s SNL portrayals or Carrey’s own earlier parodies.

Trump’s history with late-night television is long and contentious. During his presidency, he repeatedly lashed out at hosts like Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon, at times threatening to pull funding from public broadcasters. Carrey, who famously sketched Trump caricatures and appeared on The Late Show during the late 2010s, appears to have reignited his satire following Trump’s recent media attacks.

So far, Trump’s representatives have offered no official response. A source close to him said he spent much of the night posting on Truth Social, though none of the posts directly referenced the show. Colbert’s team and the network kept their response brief, posting only: “Thank you to our audience for making tonight unforgettable.”

With Christmas just around the corner, the segment has become an unexpected holiday surprise for comedy fans — and reportedly a long night at Mar-a-Lago. Regardless of political leanings, one thing is clear: late-night television landed one of its hardest blows of 2025, and the reaction suggests it hit its target.
