'Shark Tank' star Kevin O'Leary slammed the late-night host and suggested he'll be fired early for retaliating to Trump.

Conservative Shark Tank star Kevin O'Leary tore into Stephen Colbert in a vicious tirade on CNN, calling the comedian 'dumb' and 'a moron.' Colbert has traded barbs with President Donald Trump since announcing on Thursday that CBS was cancelling The Late Show. Trump celebrated the news on Friday, saying the host's 'talent was even less than his ratings.' Colbert responded in his Monday night monologue: 'Go f--- yourself.' 'Here's the problem for Colbert,' O'Leary, a Canadian businessman and regular pro-Trump panelist, said Tuesday on CNN's NewsNight. 'His contract is a payout contract through a transaction where there's a change of control. Only a moron would tell the president to F-off before he gets his check.'

Late Night Watches Trump Try to Change the Subject From Epstein

Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now. Words Without Friends As he was questioned about Jeffrey Epstein at the Oval Office on Tuesday, President Trump told reporters they should be investigating Barack Obama instead. 'Of course, whenever Trump is backed into a corner, he needs to change the subject and throw red meat to the carnivorous base — and their favorite cut is filet of Obama,' Stephen Colbert explained. Trump described the former president as 'sedatious,' apparently meaning to say 'seditious.' 'I mean, it takes extraordinary confidence to call a former president 'sedatious,' because that is not a word.' — STEPHEN COLBERT 'Sedatious? It feels like he's mispronouncing a new Black friend's name: 'I want you to meet my friend, Sedatious.' 'Thanks, it's Sean.'' — JOSH JOHNSON '[imitating Trump] He was 'sedatious.' He would sedate everyone around him with those long pauses of his, and then boom, he and Michelle would come in and steal the election with a series of thoughtful Netflix documentaries.' — STEPHEN COLBERT The Punchiest Punchlines (In Full Flight Edition) 'Well, guys, today, while speaking to reporters at the White House, President Trump called the Epstein files controversy a 'witch hunt.' Yeah, a witch hunt as in it's a hunt for which files contain Trump.' — JIMMY FALLON 'Yeah, he called it a witch hunt. And when they heard, Glinda and Elphaba were like, 'Leave us out of this, dude.'' — JIMMY FALLON 'Today, Speaker Mike Johnson said that he's shutting down the House and letting lawmakers go on vacation early to avoid a vote releasing the Epstein files. Well, Mike Johnson said, 'Don't worry, we will not deal with this the moment we get back.'' — JIMMY FALLON 'Do you understand that they cleared Congress out for the summer like they found a dookie in the pool?' — JOSH JOHNSON 'According to court records, Trump flew on Epstein's plane at least seven times. Now, that doesn't mean he did anything illegal, but it's not a great look when you fly on the pedophile's plane enough times to earn 'Diamond Pervert' status. Don't go in the lounge.' — STEPHEN COLBERT The Bits Worth Watching Jimmy Kimmel's guest host, Fortune Feimster, weighed in on the debate over Starbucks launching pumpkin spice lattes in July.

Astronomer CEO's Replacement Says Coldplay Kiss Cam Controversy Has Been 'Surreal' but They're 'Moving Forward'

NEED TO KNOW The new interim CEO of Astronomer released a statement in the aftermath of the Coldplay concert kiss cam drama The drama began after a couple went viral for their reaction to being caught on camera together during a Coldplay concert, leading frontman Chris Martin to joke that they might be having an "affair" Hours after Astronomer announced that they had "initiated a formal investigation," they announced that CEO Andy Byron had been put on leave — and went on to announce his resignation the following dayThe new interim CEO of Astronomer released a statement addressing the drama surrounding the viral Coldplay concert kiss cam, which resulted in Andy Byron's resignation. "Over the weekend, I stepped into the role of Interim CEO at Astronomer, a company that I've proudly poured my entire professional life into helping build," Pete DeJoy wrote in a statement shared by the company on Monday, July 21. "Over the past few years, our business has experienced incredible growth. What was once a mission to help companies with Apache Airflow has turned into so much more," he continued, before going on to address the viral spotlight the company found themselves under over the past week. "The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies—let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world—ever encounter," he continued without going into additional specifics. "The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name." The saga began after a couple went viral for their reaction to being caught on camera together during a Coldplay concert in Massachusetts last week. After apparently realizing that they were on the kiss cam, the woman covered her face as the man ducked down out of sight. Their reactions prompted Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to joke that they might be having an 'affair' – and the footage quickly blew up online as various online accounts and social media users purported to identify the couple and share details of their personal lives. In the company' first statement following the public debacle, Astronomer announced that they had "initiated a formal investigation into this matter." Although the tech company did not explicitly confirm the identities of anybody in the video at the time, they reported that statements made about "other employees" being present at the concert and featured in the video were incorrect. Just hours later, the tech company confirmed that Byron had been put on leave — and by the next day, the company announced his resignation. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories In his new statement, titled "Moving Forward at Astronomer," DeJoy stressed that the company has "never shied away from challenges." "From starting a software company in Cincinnati, Ohio, to keeping the lights on through the collapse of the bank that held all our cash, to scaling from 30 to 300 people during a global pandemic that demanded we do it all without ever being in the same room. And yet, we're still here," he wrote. "I'm stepping into this role with a wholehearted commitment to taking care of our people and delivering for our customers. Astronomer's foundation remains strong, built around the thriving Apache Airflow community. Our opportunity to build a DataOps platform for the age of AI remains massive. And our story is very much still being written," he continued. "To our team: thank you for your resilience & commitment to building something great. And to our community and customers: thank you for your trust. We won't let you down." Byron has not responded to PEOPLE's previous messages seeking comment. Efforts to reach the woman in the footage were previously unsuccessful. Read the original article on People
