President Trump is wishing Stephen Colbert good riddance after his final late-night show -- calling him a no-talent "dead person."

47 posted a vicious takedown of Colbert on Truth Social Thursday night, kicking things off by happily declaring 'The Late Show' host was "finally finished at CBS."

Trump also said he couldn't believe Colbert "lasted so long" -- nearly 11 years -- at the network. Of course, Trump labeled Colbert a "no talent" TV comedian who had "no ratings" and "no life." He didn't end there, BTW ...

Byron Allen says late nights on CBS are going to look A LOT different when Stephen Colbert steps aside after Thursday's show ... and he says the key to replacing Colbert will be a comedy show that's light on politics and heavy on timeless, inclusive humor.

The billionaire comedian and media mogul joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and told us about his vision for filling Colbert's vacated time slot with a couple new shows.

When Colbert goes dark after his final episode, his weeknight hour on CBS will be replaced by "Comics Unleashed With Byron Allen" and another show Byron produces, "Funny You Should Ask."

Jeff Probst says he knew he screwed something up on the live taping of the "Survivor 50" finale when the energy in the room suddenly changed ... and he's explaining how the major blunder unfolded.

The longtime "Survivor" host joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and broke down the mistake he made live on air, when he announced the loser of a challenge before viewers saw the results.

Jeff says he was backstage preparing for live interviews with contestants as pretaped segments aired ... he wasn't watching the live finale, and was just a little ahead in the script when he came out to talk to Rizo Velovic.

5/23 -- 1:47 PM PT -- Sources close to Bam tell us the roll-on product in question was CBD and doesn't contain any cannabis in it.

Bam Margera's ex is asking a judge not to change their custody arrangement ... claiming Bam's been in and out of their son's life in recent months -- and alleging in the order that he gave their son a roll-on device from his cannabis line, "BAM THC."

Nikki Boyd filed the documents in court earlier this week in response to Margera asking a judge to grant joint legal custody of their 8-year-old son, Phoenix ... telling the court that Bam hasn't been as present a father in the last six months as he's led them to believe.

Nikki's order states that Margera had 48 weekend days during which he could spend up to 4 supervised hours with Phoenix ... but she says he only visited on 7 of the 48 weekend days ... and only once stayed the full 4 hours!

Bre Tiesi's waving goodbye to Chelsea Lazkani as she rides off from "Selling Sunset" ... and wishing her well too -- just nowhere near The Oppenheim Group.

We caught up with Bre in Los Angeles and asked about the major cast shakeup ... which saw Chelsea, Mary Bonnet, Emma Hernan, and Sandra Vergara being shown the door.

Bre says she'll miss Emma and Mary ... but Chelsea? Not so much.

She's not rooting against her former costar, exactly ... Bre says she hopes Chelsea thrives -- just far, far, FAR away from her.

Bruce Springsteen dropped by the penultimate episode of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" on Wednesday to give the host a proper sendoff ... and used the spotlight to rip Donald Trump and CBS parent company, Paramount Skydance.

Prior to his performance ... The Boss told the audience, "I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you're the first guy in America who's lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke ... and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want ... Stephen, these are small-minded people."

Springsteen's final jab before he sang was ... "They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about."

Jeff Probst definitely wants to bury his head in the sand on some far-away island ... because he made a major mistake during last night's live "Survivor 50" finale.

Spoilers ahead!!!

Lala Kent and Mauricio Umansky are in a heated war of words all over a cup of coffee ... and it just got kicked up to another level.

"The Valley" newbie just ripped the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star on her podcast "Untraditionally Lala," calling him a loser and a child after he called her a "f---ing liar" all over a DM he sent her.

As TMZ previously reported ... Lala went on her podcast to claim Mauricio asked her via a DM to grab coffee. She said she never opened it or responded. She said she wasn't sure of his intentions ... and there was "not a chance" she would have met with him.

Nikki Exotika went to the hospital for an emergency heart surgery ... and it turns out she had more blocked arteries than doctors thought.

According to her mom, Myrna, the '90 Day Fiancé' star was supposed to have triple bypass surgery, but ended up needing a quadruple bypass instead -- AKA four of her arteries were blocked and needed grafting.

The women of the new "Baywatch" reboot may be bringing the heat on camera ... but behind the scenes, there's competition brewing over who's becoming the franchise's next breakout bombshell.

A source on set tells TMZ ... there's some "tension" over who's filling the Pamela Anderson lane in the modern version of the iconic series ... and the contenders are Brooks Nader and Livvy Dunne.

Brooks certainly has the edge when it comes to screen time ... because she appears in virtually every episode ... while Livvy is only featured in three episodes -- less than half the season.

Jack Osbourne is ripping trolls a new one after they started shaming him over his weight loss -- insisting he's not "grossly underweight" ... as they apparently dragged him for just shaving his beard and getting a "creepy mustache."

In a new TikTok clip, Jack said the backlash is insane after he spent years getting mocked for being overweight -- adding he hasn't lost any additional weight since competing on the UK reality series, "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!" 6 months ago.

Jack explained that he decided to overhaul his lifestyle after hitting 220 pounds around three years ago ... dropping down to 155 pounds at 5'8" -- which he says is perfectly healthy.
