The finale brought to a close the show's historic 33-year era. In the opening, Colbert paid tribute to the viewers and called the show a "joy machine." The final episode also featured other guests, including David Byrne, who in a previous appearance with Colbert performed an adapted version of the song "Burning Down the House." seznamzpravy.cz ↗
In the final episode, Paul McCartney took part in a lighthearted segment that, according to available information, also included jokes about Donald Trump. McCartney and Colbert performed the song "Goodbye, Hello," symbolically closing out the show's last edition. Der Standard ↗
The end of the show also had a political dimension. Donald Trump publicly celebrated Colbert's departure from the screen and, in a sharply worded post, called him a "total jerk." According to further reports, he claimed Colbert comes across "like a dead person" and that "any person off of the street" would be better. Tagesspiegel ↗
Colbert's Late Show was among the most successful comedy shows on American television. After more than 1,800 broadcast episodes, its ending is also seen as the close of an era in American late-night satire. RTE News ↗
