Jon Stewart's Colbert meltdown roasted after he tells CBS to ‘go f**k' themselves
During his monologue, Stewart discussed US President Donald Trump before pivoting to address the shock cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show.
Colbert's top-rated Late-night talk show in the US was cancelled last week by CBS, with the network explaining it was a 'financial decision'.
Others have suggested Colbert's cancellation is political, following his criticism of CBS' parent company, Paramount, after they settled a lawsuit with Trump.
In his monologue, Stewart unleashed on Trump and CBS, ending it with a running joke he had used on the show previously.
Stewart brought out a choir to sing and chant 'go f**k yourself', which he had previously done on multiple occasions, to chant at those who 'bend the knee' to Trump.
The joke has received mixed criticism online, with some praising the comedian and talk show host, while others roasted him.

Trump's Epstein claim sparks Virginia Giuffre family outrage
Donald Trump's admission that Epstein recruited Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago has sparked outrage from her family, who are now demanding answers about what he knew and when. Speaking aboard Air Force One, the president told reporters that Epstein 'stole' Ms Giuffre from the Mar-a-Lago spa when she was just 16. 'Everyone knows the people who were taken,' Mr Trump said. 'People were taken out of the spa hired by him… And then not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, 'Out of here.'' But the family of Ms Giuffre, who lived in WA before she tragically took her own life, has issued a furious response. 'It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago,' the family said in a statement. 'It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey 'likes women on the younger side... no doubt about it.'' The comments have sparked renewed scrutiny of Mr Trump's long-denied ties to Epstein and his inner circle, including whether his administration sought to downplay any connection. Mr Trump has previously claimed he 'never had the privilege of going to (Epstein's) island' and insisted Democrats planted his name in case files. But Florida's former attorney general Pam Bondi reportedly told Mr Trump that his name appears 'multiple times' in Epstein-linked documents. Ms Giuffre, who died at the age of 41 in April, was one of the most vocal survivors to speak out about Epstein and Ms Maxwell's trafficking operation. She maintained she was recruited into the ring while working as a locker room attendant at Mar-a-Lago in 2000. Mr Trump officially severed ties with Epstein in 2004. Over the years, he's attributed the falling-out to everything from Epstein being 'a creep' to a dispute over a Palm Beach property. His latest remarks, however, raise new questions about what he knew and when. The Ms Giuffre family also lashed out at Congress over ongoing moves to allow Ms Maxwell to testify about Epstein's network, calling her 'a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life.' 'If our sister could speak today, she would be most angered by the fact that the government is listening to a known perjurer,' their statement continued. 'A woman who repeatedly lied under oath and will continue to do so as long as it benefits her position.' Ms Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence, met with Justice Department officials last week. She is scheduled to testify before Congress on August 11, though a request for immunity has already been denied.

Harvard to comply with Trump demand on employment forms
Harvard University says it will comply with the demands of President Donald Trump's administration to turn over employment forms for thousands of university staff. In an email to university employees sent on Tuesday, Harvard said earlier this month it received a notice of inspection and a related subpoena from the Department of Homeland Security, seeking to inspect the I-9, or Employment Eligibility Verification, forms and supporting documentation for university employees. The I-9 forms, from US Citizenship and Immigration Services, are used to verify the identity and employment authorisation of individuals hired for work in the US, according to the agency's website. Harvard said federal regulations entitle the government to access a US employer's paperwork, including information on employment eligibility. Harvard has been embroiled in a legal fight with the Trump administration to have its billions of dollars of frozen federal funds restored. It sued the Trump administration earlier this year. The US president has threatened universities with federal funding cuts over pro-Palestinian protests against US ally Israel's war in Gaza, climate initiatives, transgender policies and diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Rights advocates have raised concerns over free speech, due process and academic freedom. Harvard said, for now, it was not sharing records with the government for people employed in roles only available to students as it was determining if such a request complied with privacy protection requirements. The New York Times reported that Harvard was open to spending up to $US500 million to end its dispute with the government. That amount was more than twice what Columbia University agreed to pay last week to resolve federal probes. The newspaper said negotiators were still discussing the financial details of the Harvard deal and that the university opposed allowing an outside monitor to oversee the deal. On Monday, the government initiated a probe into Duke University and the Duke Law Journal to determine if the journal's selection of its editors gave preferences to candidates from minority communities. On Tuesday, the government said it notified Duke of a freeze of $US109 million in federal funds. Separately it alleged that the University of California, Los Angeles violated federal civil rights law. Both Duke and UCLA had no immediate comment.
