I just watched Thursday’s Colbert Report. After the last break, Colbert looked into the camera and said “Thank you for joining us for our last show.”
Has he done this before? I think (and hope) it was a joke, but it came out of the blue. I usually watch online and skip the last section because it is usually just him saying good night. But that got my attention. [Link (at minute 21).](http://www.colbertnation.com/full-episodes/thu-december-1-2011-richard-branson)

I’m guessing he meant “last show of the year”.

It was just a joke about the ridiculousness of the Richard Branson bit.
