Emmy Winner Stephen Colbert Prepares for Graceful 'Late Show' Finale

As Emmy winner Stephen Colbert prepares to bid farewell to his long-running 'Late Show' next week, he is determined to savor every moment and ensure a graceful ending to his tenure. Colbert reflects on his time hosting the program, stating, "I'm going to savor every day; I want to land this plane absolutely beautifully."

Elsewhere, actress Emma Thompson provides a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new film 'Hedda', a reimagining of Henrik Ibsen's classic play. Thompson, who stars in the titular role, discusses the intense card games, the cast's WhatsApp group, and the challenges of portraying Hedda Gabler, a woman seeking a more satisfying life. "She does some things that maybe are unsavory in the course of the evening," Thompson explains, "and she wakes up in a life that she's doesn't feel comfortable in, that doesn't fit her, and I think she wants to destroy everything so she can build up again."

Writer-director Nia DaCosta's fresh interpretation of the story moves the action to 1950s England and features a female version of the traditionally male character Eilert Løvborg. Thompson believes Hedda is not simply the "female Hamlet," arguing that "Hamlet is the male Hedda." The actress also reveals her thoughts on what Hedda's Instagram bio might be, quipping, "The best time to leave a party is after something terrible's happened, but before the police come."
