Stephen Colbert publishes farewell as his final Late Show week begins

tvMay 20, 20266329,222

Stephen Colbert published a farewell essay titled "Farewell and Thank You" as his final week hosting The Late Show began. In the post he framed his career as a Trump critic and satirist and previewed the week's programming, which includes a Space Hero themed segment and a scheduled appearance by musician David Byrne. His departure ends a decade-plus run that made him one of late-night television's most politically engaged satirists and leaves a notable gap in television's mix of sharp political humor and plainspoken decency.

The perfect song for Stephen to end the show with. Here is the full version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtvK...

Colbert will always be a hero; tRump will always be a zero!

Sue Hynes55

David Byrne is TOO cool still! 🎵

Ellin Stein47

It's amazing how well those Talking Heads' songs have stood the test of time.

Ecoprairiepainter44

I can’t believe he got David Byrne!!! What a great show. JFC Colbert will be missed! And so starts my boycott of CBS after Thursday.

Stephen was GITTIN' IT! 🕺

Alex29

Saw David Byrne in Manchester (England) recently. Never thought I’d see him singing Psychokiller again but there it was, complete with footage of “not so N”ICE on the back screen. FANTASTIC show

sissydonhadit.bsky.social27

OMG that’s the best way to leave!! Yea Stephen!! Love David and his band, perfect!

AncientActivist27

How did they get Keith Richards to play drums?

sue19721954.bsky.social27

CBS burning down there own house 😳😂

Linda Beveridge21

The look on Colbert's face...fuck CBS.

Lu 💙20

Fight fire with fire 🔥

chistery1.bsky.social17

yes I am shallow, but want to mention that David Byrne & #feloninchief are contemporaries. David is brilliant & handsome & lively. Could it be that living as a sadist impairs the quality of life + mental health + physical health + intellect + personality ? Renaissance man >>>>> hostile vulgarian

pricecheck.bsky.social16

“Fight fire with fire….Burning down the house”. Such a shame that Americans will watch The CBS Late Show with Stephen Colbert flame snuff out but hopefully he and a new show under a new name with a new media outlet, will rise from the ashes. Thank you Stephen. All the best with your new adventures.

@OldAndCranky12

I’ve been in love with David Byrne since about 1977. My adoration remains undiminished.

Mister Liberty Ω12

Chills!!? Oh, that music is sooo good and sooo approrpo.

Patti R.11

This is the best damn video I've seen all week. Burning down the house - hell yea. Let's goooooo!

Murderbot 23877643111

One of the all time greats.

Keith Richards is looking well as a blonde drummer

Jevie10

Let's do it, let it all Burn/Byrne 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nico at Work10

Colbert's final days on the Late Show feels like Obama's final days in office somehow.

gregory00.bsky.social9

Sacha Baron Cohen on drums made it complete

rialmi.bsky.social7

If that doesn't put a smile on your face, there's something wrong with you. 😁

Barbara McCarren7

Never miss seeing Byrne live! Never

Willow26

MS Now could use a Late Night Comedian. Stephen! Stephen! Stephen!

jazzrat2000 AKA Bonsai anonymous6

He finally got a chance to wear that blue suit.

Rue McClanahan’s illegitimate husband6

It makes me sad to know it’s coming to an end.

VoteGirl6

CBS, as corrupt and stupid as FOX. They have no idea of the shit storm that will end them as a network, starting Friday May 22.

Lou Fioravanti6

Wow, what a coup! How did he manage to get Bob Geldof on drums? 😉🤪❤️

William Logan6

Everyone is wearing BLUE for a reason.

Tonezib6

Perfect song also Colbert is hilarious. 💖

Mr Matti5

Missed opportunity for David Byrne to play "Psycho (Killer)" as a tribute to the man who got the show canceled.

Z3R0🇲🇽5

Enjoy it while it lasts. Soon, Larry Ellison will take over The Late Show slot with something racist, xenophobic, and bigoted—the kind of stuff Trump and Republicans thrive on.

Jim5

I saw David Byrne live last year and it is in the top five shows I have ever seen.

Smooz 💙🦋5

I saw him live Friday night. Such a breath of fresh air is show is!!!

Survive America: 20264

Excellent ending to one of the most shameful decisions in television history. CBS will not survive.

TheCatMan4

Saw this performance. Amazing. Spectacular. Wonderful. And compared to the quite unfortunate performance of Sir Paul on SNL this past weekend - Paul played & moved well, but understandably, the voice is just no longer there. David Byrne’s is still very much there.

newmotherinlaw.bsky.social4

He brought out Keith Richards?, now that's epic.😂

Dave LaFontaine4

Always wanting to let loose his inner hoofer

vanlighet.bsky.social4

Maybe someone will actually burn down that house.

baghutch.bsky.social4

Do Tina, Jerry, and Chris get any $$ while he does this? Documentary Now!s finest moment remains unbeaten.

General Fat Beardo Cat Lady4

I saw that concert in Toronto. There was not one moment when the band/dancers/ Byrne weren’t in constant motion Simply amazing 🤩

JesusWasaLiberalDemocrat4

Colbert ain't too shabby either.

being stray4

Great song to go out with. Hoping Colbert scorches it all!

robin~eldest daughter~father figure~I protect the family4

THIS is the BEST!!!!!!!!!! What are we going to do without him?

Serenity4

Every day I'm thankful that my dad is a Talking Heads fan and played it all the time while I was growing up❤️

Slickster4

Ya , it's burning down the house

Cactus Flower 🏜️🌵🌸3

Talking Heads is one of my favorite bands. David Byrne is genius and Tina Weymouth is a bass goddess.

Cat Skoor 🌱 💙🐕🌷🌲3

This is such a fantastic statement! I’m so sad for America, but Americans will find ways to love one another away from the evil empire’s gaze.

Linda G. 🐸🇺🇸8647🇺🇦3

This made me smile 🩷

Darr2473

Our local CBS station, WLNS on channel 6 (RF channel 14, 470–476 MHz) decided to plug 3 minutes worth of commercials where they weren't supposed to go and came back to the show in the middle of this performance. Just another reason not to watch WLNS or CBS anymore once the Late Show is gone.

needdonuts.bsky.social3

LOVE David Byrne! Man oh man, can Colbert dance! God I am going to miss this man… Fuck cbs fuck paramount

Michael Filak3

Love it. Stephen actually spots when he spins…

lucygevy18.bsky.social2

It was worth a second watch 😊

I'm disgusted and embarrassed!2

I watched this and was smiling the whole time, like now.

Lesson: Get out while you can still dance.

Is that Bob Geldoff on the drums?! lol

David Byrne is a force of fucking nature.

He's clearly been watching the Hungarian Minister of Health's moves.

He was great at Coachella too!

À la prochaine, Stephen! ✌️🥰

We saw the full Who is the Sky tour a few weeks ago here in Houston. Memorable.

They didn't think to have Colbert come out in a massive grey suite?

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime. Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/farewell-and-thank-you-stephen-colbert

Stephen Colbert will be remembered as a brilliant, funny, warm, TV legend. Trump will be remembered as a vile, villainous, corrupt rapist.

Billy Juggernaut Antifa72

You think trump and maga are pissed at Colbert now? Wait until he’s on cable and online and they can’t touch him.

🐸 Lugree 🐸38

Maybe I’m naive, but I don’t think we’ll lose him at all. I’m hoping Colbert’s next act is one free from these spineless overlords and he can prove even more effective for the nation as a whole.

CoCo ☀️✨🌙31

So sad ~ I love Stephen Colbert 💔

MattA30

Canceling his show was a crime.

swestberg2025.bsky.social18

Thank you, Stephen. You are an American hero. Keep on speaking out and looking forward to you next act.

HappyCamper2216

Instead of loss, I'm celebrating a new era where icons like Colbert will lead us. And I'll continue to enjoy boycotting this corporate sociopaths. And I'm happy for him and his son working together on something they both love.

Cathleen15

Remove and PROSECUTE ALL members and participants in the TREASONOUS, CRIMINAL, CORRUPT, EVIL, Grifting Trump/Vance Regime!! Epstein files must be released! Bondi, Lutnick,Melania and must testify! John Roberts et al are COMPLICIT!! Remove Pardon power! Vote out ALL Republicans! STOP THE COUP !!

David Letterman said it best. "To quote Edward Murrow; good night and good luck mother fuckers"

feralhyrax.bsky.social10

Sad proof that rules of success no longer apply. Imagine being at the top of your career & awarded the highest honors your field has to offer, but still getting fired because your tinydick bosses & the idiots they answer to want to live in a world without accountability or humor. CBS is dead 💀

Carl E8

Just walked past there yesterday… glad I got a glimpse. One of the most cowardly and supplicant moves by a network, ever…

Jim8

It’s the death knell for CBS as well. It’s done. As is Paramount. #YMMV

ELIZE7

A legacy of laughter, truth, and biting satire. Who'll keep the Trump regime in check now? 😊

Trilemma7

CBS cancelled themselves, his shoes will be hard to fill if they try another late night host.

changeovertime05.bsky.social7

George W. Bush didn't defeat Stephen. Neither will Donald Trump.

tb7

well, at least he can really say whatever he wants now. hopefully we will hear even more from him

nathanrmcgrew.bsky.social7

He's not going anywhere. There are things afoot amongst the comedians.

Kathy Byrne6

sure hoping Skydance Media(the true villain) doesn’t sell the historic Ed Sullivan Theater for development as it has a huge amount of debt to address, it’s the stage where Ed Sullivan brought black entertainers into white living rooms, introduced the world to Broadway & Letterman dropped cakes

Hold My Beer ❌👑🐸🇲🇽🇨🇦6

I adore @colbertlateshow.bsky.social He's one of the best!! Can't wait to see what he does next!!!!!! 💜 "You can take a man's show, you can't take a man's voice." ~David Letterman

MarciSB6

I'll watch the next day online. I'm not giving CBS one second of airtime.

Betsy the Flying Cow6

Said this on other posts but it seems like I should repeat it: After the 21st, we’re programming our sets to skip over CBS when surfing. We don’t need that kind of riff raff. Elsbeth and Matlock will understand.

MadWomanMoon ❌👑 (🚫SPs, lists PLEASE!! TY) 🌒🌕🌘✨5

Stupidest decision CBS has ever made. And that's a low bar.

fuzzymom.bsky.social5

His show helped me get thru the first round of nightmare yrs and so far the first qrtr of second round. I don't know how I'm gonna be able to deal with the next 3 yrs- this round is so much worse. One of the all time stupidest moves by a network.

Why doesn't Stephen Colbert sue himself for $20 billion, settle for $10 billion, pay himself with Trump's money, then buy the network? 🤔

peter pohlenz3

paramount+ will go dark at my house.

jayjohns69.bsky.social3

Colbert needs to make the rounds of all comedy shows including SNL

REEFER CLIPPINGS3

He's not dying. We'll just have to watch the podcast. It sucks but better than nothing

Ecoprairiepainter2

After the last Colbert show, I’m no longer watching CBS. Their Achtun attitude toward our nation is unAmerican

jc-82.bsky.social2

He has given us humor, hope, intelligence and inspiration. After his departure there’s no good reason to watch CBS. What was once a respected, venerated network has been destroyed.

There is no Dana only Zuul2

I hate this SO MUCH.

mspalz.bsky.social2

Wherever he goes, I will follow.

pcoordinator.bsky.social2

I prefer, “See ya in a little while, kiddo!” He will always have an audience. 🤗♥️

Maple🍁Mamma2 8️⃣6️⃣4️⃣7️⃣2

Colbert is gold. He’ll be back! Trump supporters lack the cognitive discernment for the « decency » quality. His very being is indecent, yet… People who support his actions, behaviour and policies are a stain on the USA and christianity, or whatever form of religion they practice. #Shameful

fuscoe1.bsky.social2

Let’s show CBS that canceling Colbert was truly disgrace. Do not watch any of the CBS programs. Freedom of speech is essential component of our democracy.

Randy Flaglover2

Yes, but now he can become Man of the Year......

Levi Anthony Luckenbach2

Netflix should launch a reboot of The Colbert Report

Voted for joy and we ended up with this2

I love his show and will miss him so much. After Thurs, I'll have absolutely no reason to watch CBS again.

Robin Lee Field2

I can’t wait to see what he does next without corporate control!!!

Debs Girl💙🌊Save 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇹🇼2

I’m hoping he’ll be on YouTube!

The Gringo2

I've loved Colbert since the Exit 57 days; I'm happy to see him break free from CBS. His creativity and humor have been smothered by network TV, I look forward to watching him soar in new endeavors.

🇨🇦𝙈𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙚 𝘼𝙣𝙙𝙮🇺🇦2

Bring back the Colbert Report...

Going to miss Colbert so much. For anyone interested, CNN (sorry, I know… 🫤) did a really good hour on him: bsky.app/profile/ccho...

Passem2

Bari Weiss should be FIRED

Grauntie Mary2

I will watch until the last show airs, then I will never watch anything in this time slot ever again. I wish I had Paramount+ just so I could cancel it in protest for taking Stephen Colbert off the air!

sbharvey.bsky.social2

He should take over RealTime with Bill Maher show, Bill Maher show is in declining state, oh but wait, HBO MAX will be owned by Paramount Skydance which is run by David Ellison. Farewell and thank you Stephen..

After Stephen Colbert’s last show on Thursday night, there will be absolutely no reason to watch CBS. They’ve royally screwed themselves.

rurabbit.bsky.social33

Some billionaire with decades of tax exemptions will buy CBS, milk it for all its intellectual property, and sell it for parts. The losses will provide yet another tax windfall for their next buyout. We have created a system that doesn't care about making, just about taking.

CBS Sunday Morning and 60 Minutes were required viewing for me. I’ll find something else to fill those 2.5 hours.

VictoriousYankee23

ellison doesn’t care. cbs’ total value is still just a rounding error in ellison’s multi billion dollar empire. When cbs does eventually collapse I doubt ellison will even notice.

Happy Puppy14

I like ghosts and George and Mandys first marriage.. but will boycott all cbs after Thursday

Estefano10

Do not need a reason...just that Nazi Bari Weiss who has destroyed a once good network. Time for CBS to simply die.

Brian E9

Exactly. The Late Show's over, Anderson Cooper did his last 60 Minutes episode...basically all they got left is The Price Is Right.

it's only scott8

i quit CBS as soon as they announced they were taking him off the air

Col. B. S. Flynn7

The CSI/NCIS viewers will stay. I mean they've already been watching the same stale storylines, repeated in multiple locations. They're used to boredom.

InnerCitySub#BlueResister7

Kimmel and Fallon are showing reruns on Thursday night so everyone can watch Colbert. More class than CBS. After the end I will be watching Jimmy Kimmel.

bananabreath6

WRONG! Bari is planning loads of wonderful and entertaining Russian programing direct from Moscow. Vlad and Donald have approved these new shows. Also look for the fun series "Introduction To Oligarchy" and many new Donald Trump inspired cartoons just for the kids. I, personally, cannot wait.

Steezy Greenberg⭕️6

Gonna have a prob stopping CBS Sun AM and Jane Pauley, but fuck that shit. I’m out.

Ryan Germann6

But then you won't be able to watch NCIS: LA or NCIS: New Orleans or NCIS: Topeka or NCIS: Omaha or NCIS: Albequerque or NCIS: Duluth or Yellowstone or 1883 or 1927 or 1948 or 1972 or 1995 or Big Bang Theory or Young Sheldon or New BBT spinoff or any of that stuff!

Cjinlongbeach5

Agreed. Maybe I’ll get to sleep early now. I cannot go to bed til Colbert is over. No reason to stay up late anymore

Abssy_East5

Long time cord cutter here. What is a "CBS"?

Let’s Be Frank5

It won’t be easy for millions of people but we must completely boycott CBS, its advertisers and sponsors.

Monstrous Regiment5

On Weds is the survivor finale and Thurs is Colbert. Then I can erase it with my remote. Like I do every time when I visit someone who has Fox.

chrissy525.bsky.social4

I watch Stephen Colbert on youtube. I don't support CBS or mainstream media anymore. I support independent media their journalists & hard work. Marc Ellias & Midas Touch are my favs. My fav since 2008 & only exception is hands down Rachel Maddow. who is just BRILLIANT. #SUPPORTINDEPENDENTMEDIA

Ms o4

All paramount subscribers should cancel their subscription right after the show ends

donotcave.bsky.social3

We the consumers have the power. I do not understand why we do not use it. The American people that believing in the rule of law and want pedophiles to be held accountable should be boycotting every company that supports Trump. Dump Amazon, Meta, Apple, Tesla so many more. USE YOUR POWER

The U.S. is controlled by cult Trumpers.

CatLC2

They don’t care. They are part of a huge media empire owned by obscenely wealthy oligarchs. Those owners will happily destroy their “broadcast“ arm, which they consider part of a dying industry anyway. Tax breaks & outright corrupt payments &insider trading they get from Republicans are worth it.

Jackie Knott2

Former anchors I used to enjoy Scott Pelley, Norah O'Donnell, Bill Whitaker, Lesley Stahl, John Dickerson, earlier of course, Walter Cronkite, Charlie Rose .... Old enough to have watched Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Letterman on the Tonight Show. After Colbert ... no reason to watch anymore.

Brad Kersavage2

We dont even watch Sunday Morning. No more CBS.

I even stopped watching Ghost...which I really enjoyed but CBS does not deserve my viewership.

The NFL will continue to draw an audience on Sunday but that is one day in seven. Many will tune out the NFL, punishing it for the for the misdeeds of CBS.

Companies who did support tRump are legible to go bankrupt.

legaleasey.bsky.social2

I will definitely tune out CBS after Thursday evening. To be sure, I will be subscribing to the NFL Network rather than watching sports on CBS this upcoming season. I will do likewise when the NBA starts next season. I'm done with CBS because they went against the United States Constitution/trump?

Befarrell2

Childish Broadcasting System has the most uninteresting juvenile programming on TV.

anton-symeth.bsky.social2

I flip back and forth between David Mewer and Dookie pile. They both have the same crappy content (true crime, latest Trump crap) but it alternates in time, so flipping works for me. Other than that, not hardly ANY crappy USA tv in my house

P. Astarte2

And whoever hires Colbert, if he chooses to ever work again, will make millions as we will all watch him on that platform! CBS is run by complete MORONS who have all drunk the Kool Aid!
