Stephen Colbert Says His Trump Series Is Animated to ‘Accurately Capture’ White House Life

Our Cartoon President premieres Jan. 28 on Showtime

As Stephen Colbert prepares his new Showtime animated series about Donald Trump, Our Cartoon President, the talk-show host joked that he has a bone to pick with Michael Wolff, the author of the explosive new Trump book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.

“I think Michael Wolff stole all 10 of our episodes. Because there’s nothing in that book that’s not in our show, and we just guessed—I’m not joking,” Colbert said at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour.
