TV’s late night hosts sure do stick together.

On Monday’s episode of CBS’ The Late Show —the first since host Stephen Colbert revealed his show was being cancelled — Colbert got a quick visit from four of his fellow late night hosts: The Tonight Show’s Jimmy Fallon, The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart, Late Night’s Seth Meyers and Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver.

In a parody of last week’s viral Coldplay concert moment, Colbert brought out “Weird Al” Yankovic and Lin-Manuel Miranda to sing Coldplay’s “Vida la Vida” while the camera panned around the audience. The camera stopped on a few fans before landing on CNN’s Anderson Cooper and Bravo’s Andy Cohen; Fallon and Meyers; Adam Sandler and his Happy Gilmore 2 co-star Christopher McDonald; and Stewart and Oliver. After the camera stopped on a cartoon of President Donald Trump cuddling the Paramount logo and then discarding it, though, Colbert had to halt the tune, informing Yankovic and Miranda: “Your song has been cancelled.”

During his monologue, Colbert offered a profane response to Trump’s gleeful reaction to the cancellation, turning to a fancy Eloquence Cam and bluntly telling the commander-in-chief: “Go f–k yourself.” He also threw cold water on Trump’s prediction that Jimmy Kimmel would be next, declaring: “I am the martyr, OK? There’s only room for one on this cross, and I gotta tell you: The view is fantastic from up here!”

The cancellationof The Late Show was “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night,” CBS said in a statement last week.“It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.” Many in the industry, however, point to Colbert’s strong criticism of Trump, along with CBS’ parent company Paramount agreeing to pay Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit related to 60 Minutes, as Paramount awaits FCC approval of its merger with Skydance Media.

Colbert announced the cancellation on Thursday’s episode, telling the studio audience: “Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending TheLate Showin May.” The audience, of course, loudly booed this news, and Colbert wryly replied, “Yeah, I share your feelings.”

Many others shared their feelings as well: Kimmel, host of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, posted on Instagram, “Love you Stephen. F–k you and all your Sheldons CBS.” Fallon also offered Colbert support: “Stephen is one of the sharpest, funniest hosts to ever do it. I really thought I’d ride this out with him for years to come.” Meyers added that “for as great a comedian and host he is, [Colbert] is an even better person,” and Oliver offered: “I love Stephen, I love his staff. I love that show. It’s incredibly sad… It’s terrible, terrible news for the world of comedy.”
