Talk show host Stephen Colbert has never been secretive about his disdain for Donald Trump, and his latest nudge at the American President is pretty damn hilarious.
As Colbert explained in the latest episode of his talk show, it is awards season (the Golden Globes take place on Sunday night and you can check out our predictions here) and as such, Trump tweeted out the following:
I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!

"Personally, I'm excited for the most Dishonest & Corrupt Media Awards," Colbert said. "Or, as we call them in the business, the Fakies."
Because Colbert was snubbed at the Golden Globes, he explains that he wouldn’t want the same to happen at Trump's awards, and so he has purchased a billboard in Times Square in New York City for his "For Your Consideration" ad in Trump's awards.

“I’m hoping to be nominated in all categories,” the host said, listing off “Least Brietbarty”, “Fakest Dishonesty” and “Dishonestest Corruption” among other categories (and if you don’t know what “Smallest Button” refers to, check out how KFC responded to one of Trump’s recent tweets).
