The final curtain has fallen on Stephen Colbert’s tenure at CBS, and the send-off was nothing short of legendary. Paul McCartney served as the night's musical anchor, capping off the historic broadcast with an iconic performance of the Beatles' hit, "Hello Goodbye."
A Star-Studded Farewell
The atmosphere in the studio was electric, featuring a string of hilarious cameos from Hollywood heavyweights including Bryan Cranston, Ryan Reynolds, Paul Rudd, and Tig Notaro. Each star vied for the spotlight in a playful battle to be named Colbert’s ultimate final guest.

Reflecting on a Cultural Legacy
Beyond the laughs, the evening took a reflective turn as Colbert sat down with McCartney to discuss the legendary band’s 1964 arrival at the Ed Sullivan venue. McCartney opened up about the deep impact American culture, blues, and rock n’ roll had on their sound. While discussing the country’s history, McCartney mused, "America was just the land of the free, the greatest democracy. That was what it was." When Colbert dryly remarked, "That was it, yeah," the music icon quickly added, "And still is hopefully."
Controversy Off-Air
The sentiment didn't go unnoticed, especially following the buzz surrounding the night. President Donald Trump took to social media shortly after the show to weigh in on the host, explicitly labeling Colbert a "total jerk" as the world watched the transition at 205focus.com.
