I thought the person in the Sleigh was going to be O’Reilly.
I think you might have the dancing backwards. My sense was the guy did that and she was just being polite.
I didn’t watch the show much but I liked it a lot. It was a nice send off.
Who cares? Katie Couric is still fucking hot.
I thought the final episode was hilarious, but not tear-worthy. Sorry, I watched Johnny Carson’s final Tonight Show appearance. That made me cry.
I was hoping Letterman would be involved in the finale somehow.
Letterman doesn’t really exist in the world of “Stephen Colbert.” He hasn’t mentioned the move once, I don’t think.
Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report is not moving to another show next year. This is why he never mentioned the move–doing so would break character.
I am almost certain he mentioned it. I remember him referring to the move as his having “won TV” for example.
As a memorial, we re-listened to the Al Smith keynote today.

Realized that one of the “regulars” was MIA: Jeff Goldblum. Appeared 1 more time on the show than Kissinger, Huffington and Stipe.
Wow, that is some of the worst writing I’ve ever encountered. Like, epic fail. Some sentences I read 4 times and still had no idea what he was on about.
Not that I can recall. When he interviewed the guy who is going to do the Late Late Show he never did. Several times they’ve hinted at it by saying he feels for the guy who is going to replace Letterman.
Since Viacom owns both, it isn’t a case of not plugging the competition.
Pretty sure he never explicitly mentioned that he was taking over the Late Show.
As a semi-regular Fox News viewer, I got to see the conservative reaction to Stephen Colbert’s farewell. They loved him. Nearly every talking head, pundit and conservative host was just gushing about how funny, etc. the man was. It was so one-sided, it was almost as if the entire premise of the show, the satire, whooshed the entire right wing.
Not so. Viacom owns Comedy Central, but CBS Corp is a separate company. Both are majority-owned by Sumner Redstone, though.
And yes, when he interviewed James Corden, they never mentioned that they would both be late-night hosts on CBS.
I’m convinced the reason he was asked to host the White House Correspondents dinner was that the Bush Administration had no idea it was satire.
Yes, and a thousand thank-yous. I got another good laugh and it was as funny as I remembered it. Sorry for the late response but the weekend got in the way.
If I remember that episode correctly, he said that he had “won TV” and that’s the reason that The Colbert Report was ending. Since he had won, there was no reason for the show to continue. I don’t think he said anything about what he was doing after The Colbert Report ended, other than maybe implying that he was going to die and waving at the Grim Reaper.
Or they were just saluting a fellow professional entertainer.
Hahaha. Funny. They never have anything nice to say about Jon Stewart.
ETA: oh wait, i get it. Haha.
It’s a Catholic thing; you wouldn’t understand.
But seriously, I reread it and it makes sense to me. The sentences are chock-full but not unintelligible.
This could well be true; I’m not even Christian let alone Catholic.
I had read that the actor who plays him was playing Lincoln in the finale.
Or maybe not.
Does anyone know who played unicorn Lincoln? I’ve been searching, but I can’t seem to find any information.
Jeff Goldblum was the one person who I looked for who wasn’t there. Maybe he died in New Zealand again.
