The End Of An Era: Paul McCartney Helped Stephen Colbert Say Goodbye
- Stephen Colbert says goodbye after 1,800 episodes.
- A surprise parade of A-list stars joins the stage.
- The legendary Paul McCartney helps close the final curtain.
We just saw the end of an era. Stephen Colbert finally said goodbye to The Late Show last night. It is hard to believe he did over 1,800 episodes. Ten years! Wow.
The show felt different from the start. Stephen talked directly to the camera. He was very earnest. It felt like he was talking to a close friend. Then, the surprises started happening. One after another.
We loved the vibe of the studio. The aesthetic was so warm. The deep blues and golden stage lights made it look like a sunset. It felt cozy and a bit sad at the same time. Very visual.
Suddenly, huge stars appeared. Bryan Cranston and Ryan Reynolds showed up. Then Paul Rudd and Tig Notaro joined in. It was a massive party. But the best part was still coming.
Sir Paul McCartney walked out. He was the final guest ever. He even gave Stephen a little help from his friends. It was pure magic. If you love big stars, you should check out how Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar just hit OTT too.
Hollywood is changing fast right now. For example, Canada just gave Hollywood a huge bill that is causing drama. But last night was only about the music and the laughs.
Our Take
We think late-night TV is going to feel very empty now. Stephen had a way of making the news feel okay. He did not end up like the star who had a lonely funeral with only eight people. Stephen had millions of us. He went out on top with a Beatle by his side. That is how you finish a show.
