Stephen Colbert blamed the cancellation of 'The Bachelorette' for rising gas prices in his latest monologue. The 'Late Show' host quipped that ABC's decision to scrap the reality show's latest season prompted former President Trump to attack Iran, sending fuel costs soaring to $4 a gallon nationwide.

Colbert's satirical take came as gas prices hit a national average of $4 per gallon, marking a significant jump in just one month. The comedian suggested that the combination of Trump's foreign policy decisions and the entertainment industry's programming choices were somehow connected in driving up consumer costs.

The late-night host also took aim at Trump's approval ratings, noting that while 47.2 percent of Americans strongly disapprove of the former president, 22.4 percent still strongly approve. Colbert's sharp political commentary continues to resonate as Americans grapple with economic pressures and political polarization.
