the series finale of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air Thursday, May 21.
Such a shame, but I look forward to whatever Colbert does next.

Why does it have to be Colbert? Take one of the unfunny Jimmies instead!
Kimmel. There is nothing funny or entertaining about that dude.
As a matter of fact, when Trump's people went after him I got really pissed. I want him to be canceled because he's a shit entertainer. Not because he says something about Trump.
or Seth Meyers...yes, he's still on the air.
I kind of like him. Though I pretty much only watch a closer look and corrections.
Corrections is a gem and Closer Look is excellent. He also has some fun reoccurring sketches like "Leave Him Alone" guy starring Lutz and "Jokes Seth Can't Say". He's also a fun interviewer, much more loose and relaxed.
Long way of saying after Colbert he's my #1 in late night.
Seth is a great interviewer because he seems to know a lot of his guests on a personal level. It's much more interesting than the usual "We're shilling a product" interview
Meyers is funny as hell. I'd take him over Colbert. His hatred of the administration is honest and pure.
Can't believe no network has picked him up yet
But some times folks, he likes to just pick up a bunch of discarded news print from the back of a McDonald's public toilet and then redact them properly leaving only the correct amount of numbers to declare a date... Meanwhile!
Good to know so I can cancel my Paramount+ that day
But you'll miss Star Fleet academy!
Why not cancel it at the beginning of the month?
Would love to have him back-to-back with Jon Stewart again, in these trying times.
I liked him on The Colbert Report. Never watched him on The Late Show.
I almost never watched him until COVID hit. Colbert, as well as Trevor Noah at the time and Seth Meyers really improved their shows during and after COVID.
They all got much more relaxed and made the shows feel much more authentic. I think Colbert has actually swung the most back towards "professional", but he still general brings a more relaxed vibe.
Good, not great. The openers to Meanwhile were always entertaining, however. John Batiste was a gem, stopped watching after he left (unrelated).
He was way funnier when he was a conservative before he switched parties.
I understand you.
I don't. Explain?
His last show was the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. He pretended to be an arch-neocon as a bit, which was not only hilarious but also resulted in several high profile right wingers eating the onion.
I always find the term eating the onion amusing. Especially as a Australian where we had a conservative Prime Minister bite into and eat a raw onion like an apple.
His character (also named Stephen Colbert) was specifically and primarily based on Bill O'Reilly, who was not pretending. It's why Stephen often referred to Bill as "Papa Bear"
I will be sad.
I regularly watch his monologues the day after. They're not his greatest work but they still hit and were a nice bit of comfort in really shitty times.
Fuck Paramount. Fuck Larry Ellison. Fuck Trump.
David letterman wasn't great. I saw the first episodes back then. Boring! But I was a kid watching Batman cartoons. Colbert kicks butt.
I'm confused, because I was watching the late show before I was a teenager in the late 80s.
I'm sure he will do great things after. I would vote for him if he ran for pres.
