Late night host Stephen Colbert jokingly scolded his audience for booing at the news that President Donald Trump is “very much alive.”

Unsubstantiated rumors that Trump had died circulated on social media over the weekend after the president had not been spotted for several days. Colbert reported on those rumors on Tuesday’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

“When I came back in the office, I was shocked to learn that this weekend, the biggest story was frenzied social media rumors speculating whether Donald Trump has died,” Colbert said .

“For the record, Donald Trump is very much alive, OK?” he added.

The audience then booed at the news that Trump is “alive,” prompting Colbert to jokingly rebuke them.

“No! We like our presidents alive,” Colbert said as he smiled.
