Nine months after #StephenColbert announced the cancellation of long-running #LateShow, he presided over the final episode of the #CBS late night show, with #PaulMcCartney serving as his final guest after, Colbert joked, his “white whale” guest of the pope “canceled,” disappointed with the hot dogs offered in his dressing room.⁠
⁠
At the top of his monologue, the host said originally the Late Show team had planned to do a “huge special” for the final episode, but then they realized that “every episode is special.”⁠
⁠
“The best way to celebrate is to do a normal show and talk about the national conversation,” Colbert said.⁠
