Summary
- Colbert's final Late Show episode concluded with set destruction.
- He hinted at a return to his public access roots in Monroe, Michigan.
- The final broadcast was from the Ed Sullivan Theater after 11 years.
The final broadcast of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert from the iconic Ed Sullivan Theater culminated in an unexpected on-air spectacle. The episode concluded with Colbert, along with guests Jeff, Jack, and the Only in Monroe hosts, dismantling the show's set and disposing of its contents into a dumpster. This dramatic finale followed Colbert's announcement to his audience that after 11 successful years, he was returning to his roots.
Colbert recalled the show's humble beginnings, noting that their first broadcast in July 2015 originated from a public access station in Monroe, Michigan, to an audience of just 12 people. He specifically teased that viewers might soon see him again on this local program, humorously suggesting that given the current state of show business, it was the most likely place to find him next.
