Final 'Colbert Report': What Hollywood Is Saying
Stephen Colbert as Stephen Colbert, the political pundit, is no more (for now). Stephen Colbert, the actor, is, however, moving on to bigger things—he’s set to take over David Letterman’s Late Show post in early 2015.
It's time to say goodbye to Stephen Colbert (the conservative pundit version of him, anyway).
Yes, The Colbert Report has come to an end — and his friends and admirers are already mourning the loss, and wishing him luck on his next gig as David Letterman's The Late Show successor. Here's a sampling of the well-wishes Colbert is receiving. And since it's Colbert, we're throwing in his own self-congratulatory tweet as well.
