Colbert Bids Farewell to ‘Late Show’ With a Swan Song
Hello and goodbye to “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” The late night host set out to deliver a mostly by-the-books episode of “The Late Show,” leaving the show on his own terms.
Colbert was joined by A-list stars, family, lifelong friends, and a wormhole that threatened to end late night as we know it. Despite the green portal’s best efforts, the host ended his show with a joyful swan song, closing the books on his 11-year tenure at CBS.
“We like to think every episode of ‘The Late Show’ is kind of special, and we thought the best way to celebrate what we’ve done over the last 11 years is just do a regular episode where I come out here and talk about the national conversation,” the late night host explained.
Colbert gave quippy updates but kept it simple with his final monologue. The final show included cameos from Paul Rudd, Ryan Reynolds, Bryan Cranston, Tig Notaro and Tim Meadows, among others.
“This show I want you to know has been a joy for us to do for you,” he said.
