Description: CALLS TO AX HOST GROW... #FireColbert is on fire. Talk show host Stephen Colbert is taking serious heat on social media for a profane joke he made about President Donald Trump that many fans are calling "homophobic." The "Late Show" star sounded off on Trump during his opening monologue Monday night criticizing Trump for abruptly ending an interview with CBS News' John Dickerson. "Sir you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine" Colbert said during his profranity-laced rant. "You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin's ck holster." Time for him to go. Total trash. I will boycott advertisers. #FireColbert hank_1972 (@Hank_1972) May 3 2017 Hey @CBS #StephenColbert is NOT a comic. I NEVER tune in because of his hate-filled attitude towards @POTUS @realDonaldTrump #FireColbert Rep. B.J. Nikkel (@RepBJNikkel) May 3 2017 I don't know that it was homophobic but Colbert's comment was very inappropriate and not funny enough to be worth the risk #firecolbert Kimbro13 (@kimbro1360) May 2 2017 #firecolbert CBS STAND UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING FIRE COLBERT THIS SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATEDIF IT WAS SAID ABOUT OBAMA HE WOULD BE GONE MIKEM (@09BRAININJURY) May 2 2017 So Colbert is saying homophobic things again? Disappointing that CBS supports and empowers this. #firecolbert Michael Oxley (@Truthchampion16) May 2 2017 Boycott CBS #FireColbert Tricia Ann (@TriciaC0324) May 3 2017 Time for him to go. Total trash. I will boycott advertisers. #FireColbert hank_1972 (@Hank_1972) May 3 2017 Fans immediately took issue with Colbert's final joke with some calling the comedian homophobic and demanding CBS fire him. A rep for CBS and "Late Show" did not immediately return Fox News' request for comment. This isn't the first time viewers have gone on social media demanding Colbert's ouster. In 2014 a #CancelColbert hashtag was started after the host (on Comedy Central with "The Colbert Report" at that point) joked "I am willing to show #Asian community I care by introducing the Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever" in a sketch aboutWashington Redskins' owner Daniel Snyder's pro-Native American charity. The hashtag campaign began when the show's Twitter account posted the joke without the context.
