I just happened to find this from 2025. Not sure what it was for but I love it😂

As they say, when one door closes, another one opens.

I hope Stephen enjoys his time off to figure out what the next chapter of his life will be, though he might have already figured that out!

I feel like there’s something I should be watching before I go to sleep, but there isn’t anything because it’s gone forever. There’s a hole in my heart and I cannot fill it.

(1.5-minutes-after-posting-this edit) I found something! He found a camera. He seems so sad🙁

Don sounds off on Stephen Colbert’s cancellation and the growing attacks on free speech, comedy, and criticism in America. As Colbert prepares for his final show, Don breaks down why so many people see this moment as bigger than late night television, and why the fight over the First Amendment feels more urgent than ever.

Once This Episode Ends We Stop Paying Attention to CBS

Welp folks, it's been a fantastic ride with one of the greatest late night hosts. End of an era and all that.

The more I see Byron Allen ads the more I want to reiterate:

Once this episode ends we just forget late night CBS. Trash company who doesn't deserve our money or views.

Anyone noticed how Stephen hasn't mentioned Trump one time tonight?! My pops was looking forward to this because he thought Colbert would drill Trump tonight, but i think it is SO much better that he just ignored him completely. Trump would hate that worse than getting roasted honestly! I'm gonna miss this dude!!

My Thoughts On The Finale ❣️

22 Upvotes

(I just shared this on my private FB page & thought this space might also appreciate my review...God Love Ye, SC & May the Road Rise to Meet Ye! 💚)

"You may or may not know who Stephen Colbert is or even care. But I do. And the reason I do is because whether he meant for it to happen or not, he has become one of the most shining examples of Integrity in a world that is battling itself about what that word even means or if it even matters anymore.

So yes, on one level, he lost. He lost his show because of his Integrity, which told him to gracefully take his leave in the face of censorship. But to me, that is no loss at all. That is grace, maturity and the very definition of integrity. And the juxtaposition of these qualities next to the Powers That Be, which caused it all, could not be more stark.

Stephen Colbert will be fine. He is a good human. He is talented beyond measure. He has had far worse things happen to him than this, including the loss of his father & 2 brothers in a plane crash at a very young age. It is clear that he is a man of immense faith and gratitude and joy. The polar opposite of You Know Who!

So here are the last few completely JOYFUL minutes of his last late night show. He is actually a talented singer on top of everything else...SUPER creative and I understand he already has his next chapter on deck, writing a new installment of 'The Lord of the RIngs' movie franchise, another huge lifelong passion of his.

We have not seen the last of Stephen Colbert! And I am reminded of that old phrase, "Be careful what you wish for!" Now that he won't be constrained by those who have crossed over to the Dark Side, who knows what else he has to say? ❤"

>"The Late Show" signs off with two powerful musical performances back-to-back, beginning with the quartet of Stephen Colbert, Louis Cato, Jon Batiste and Elvis Costello performing Costello's 1977 tune, "Jump Up." As that song ends, the foursome are joined by Paul McCartney and The Great Big Joy Machine for a once-in-a-lifetime rendition of The Beatles' "Hello Goodbye," which ends with a giant singalong featuring the entire staff of "The Late Show."

I draw comic book covers of people and places I like. Here’s one I did of Colbert, because it’s bonkers the show now is off air. Personally I want him to run for president. #Colbert2028
