Donald Trump called, Stephen Colbert responded.

In an interview with Time, the president of the United States lashed out at The Late Show host, calling him "no-talent" and "filthy" following Colbert's controversial May 1 monologue.

And naturally, Colbert had some thoughts, Colbert-style.

"The president of the United States has personally come after me and my show, and there's only one thing to say ... yay!" Colbert said, giggling and clapping hands together.

As the audience called his name, Colbert started sending kisses and waved.

"Mr. Trump, there's a lot you don't understand, but I never thought one of those things would be show business," Colbert said.

"Don't you know I've been trying for a year to get you to say my name? And you were very restrained -- admirably restrained -- but now you did it. I won."
