Last night was the final broadcast of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He ended it by living out a fantasy of performing with Paul McCartney at the Ed Sullivan Theater, where McCartney was introduced to the US more than 60 years ago, and where The Late Show was based. Other musicians included Elvis Costello, Louis Cato, Jon Batiste, and The Great Big Joy Machine.
The show began with an intro by other legends of late night TV, followed by Colbert's last monologue, a science ficton sequence, and you can see other clips from the show at YouTube. Will we see Colbert elsewhere? No doubt, and probably sooner than you think. But he's busy writing a script for a new Lord of the Rings movie, so we may have to be patient.
