Tonight, we bid farewell to the @colbertlateshow as Stephen @Colbert takes his final bow as host after an incredible 11-year run. Through every chapter, Stephen has brought sharp wit, heart, and humanity to late night, making us laugh while always giving us something to think about.

A special nod as well to the amazing team behind The Late Show, whose talent and dedication helped make it all happen.

It’s been an honor to have Stephen as part of the #NewYorkComedyFestival over the years, and we’re grateful for the laughter, insight, and conversations he’s sparked, and the countless moments of joy and connection he created.

Congratulations, Stephen. Thank you for all of the fond memories and laughs! We can’t wait to see what’s next! #stephencolbert #thelateshow #makenylaugh
