This video features the series finale of The Late Show hosted by Stephen Colbert. Rather than a traditional, high-production special, Colbert opts for a "regular" episode of the show to celebrate the series' 11-year run at the Ed Sullivan Theater.
Key Highlights:
- Show History: Colbert reflects on the history of the Ed Sullivan Theater (0:48) and the humble beginnings of his show (0:33).
- Celebrity Cameos: The monologue is humorously interrupted by several uninvited celebrity guests, including Bryan Cranston (2:07), Paul Rudd (6:57), and Tim Meadows (8:16), all of whom attempt to claim the spot of his "final guest."
- Topical Comedy: Between the disruptions, Colbert touches on current events, such as sinkholes appearing in New York City (3:40), a scandal involving the Kalandario Romano (sexy priest calendar) (5:45), and news about a dancing robot (9:23).
- Reflections: Toward the end of the monologue, Colbert shares his post-retirement plans—humorously mentioning drugs—and discusses a real campaign by the National Marine Mammal Foundation in his home state of South Carolina that has been encouraging him to pursue his childhood dream of being like Jacques Cousteau (10:12).
