Stephen Colbert Announces Star-Studded Lineup for Final Week of ‘Late Show’

Stephen Colbert is preparing for his final week on air at “The Late Show” with a series of special episodes featuring prominent guests. The CBS late-night program’s schedule for May 18 includes a Monday episode titled 'The Worst of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,”' clarified not to be a traditional clip show. Tuesday will feature Jon Stewart, Steven Spielberg, and a performance by David Byrne alongside Colbert. Wednesday, the penultimate show, will highlight Colbert participating in his iconic segment 'The Colbert Questionert' and include a performance by Bruce Springsteen. Details of the series finale on Thursday, May 21, remain unannounced. The network emphasized that the show’s cancellation after 11 seasons was a financial decision, although some critics suggest political motivations may have influenced CBS’s timing. During his final week, Colbert will also host an extended interview with late-night peers collectively known as Strike Force Five—Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Oliver, and Jimmy Fallon. Other notable moments include Julia Louis-Dreyfus appearing as Selina Meyer from 'Veep,' delivering humorous quips at Colbert’s expense. To honor Colbert, both Kimmel and Fallon announced they will air reruns instead of new episodes on the night of his finale. The final week promises to be a celebration of Colbert’s 11-year run on CBS with high-profile guests and memorable segments.

David Letterman on Late Night with Stephen Colbert may have been one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

CBS is seriously fucking up but killing the show.

#LauraBenanti, the #actor who plays #MelaniaTrump on #LateNight with #StephenColbert, was featured on #Elsbeth last night. So distracting. I couldn't unsee Melania.
