There is an official Late Show online store; it is not selling a “Last Show” shirt.

> **[The Late Show with Stephen Colbert | Official Merchandise](https://www.paramountshop.com/collections/the-late-show-with-stephen-colbert)**
>
> Feel like you're watching from the Ed Sullivan Theater by shopping Official The Late Show with Stephen Colbert apparel, drinkware, accessories, and more from the Paramount Shop!

However, it appears that Colbert is selling the Last Show shirts on eBay, as mentioned in [this article in People](https://people.com/stephen-colbert-tshirt-poking-fun-cancellation-late-show-ending-11929907).

That article in People shows a picture so fake that I think it has been used to show Elizabeth Taylor holding up a _Star Wars_ t-shirt. Is there any way to view that episode to see if he actually held up that shirt?

The show’s Youtube channel has a lot of clips. That’d be as good a place as any to look.

[Why is The Late Show with Stephen Colbert not new this week, March 18-22?](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/why-show-stephen-colbert-not-193511092.html) says the show that People claimed he held up that shirt was a re-run.

The picture on People may be fake, but the E-Bay info you gave turns out to be correct: [Bing Videos](https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=Is+Stephen+Colberty+sponsering+a+Last+Show+Shirt&mid=01C917FD45BD0BECE4A401C917FD45BD0BECE4A4&churl=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fchannel%2fUCMtFAi84ehTSYSE9XoHefig&FORM=VIRE)

Thank you.
