The Late Show has a new electronic billboard in Times Square with a rave review, and it's all thanks to Donald Trump.

During his monologue on Tuesday, host Stephen Colbert spoke about the mini Truth Social rant the former President had been on about the late night hosts, calling them "CREEPS" and "LOSERS" before implying that their shows are "nothing less than a major Campaign Contribution to the Radical Left Democrat Party."

"Watch what is going on - so interesting!" finished Trump — and that was exactly the quote Colbert's team used on their new advertising billboard.

"Sir, thank you for the endorsement!" says Colbert at the end of the clip. "I hope you get a chance to check out the billboard on the way to your next court appearance."
