Adam Sandler, Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Andy Cohen were among those who made surprise appearances on Monday's episode after CBS announced that the late-night show would be ending in May 2026.

Stephen Colbert recruited celebrities including Adam Sandler for an Astronomer CEO kiss-cam spoof on Monday's "The Late Show."

Stephen Colbert announced "The Late Show" was cancelled three nights after revealing his summer mustache on air. Coincidence?

Kicking off Monday’s show with a joke about Trump wanting to change the name of the Washington Commanders NFL team (the “Washington Epsteins”, Colbert suggested), he walked into the Ed Sullivan theater to loud cheers and said “This is going to be fun”. It certainly was.

Rumors about the $40 million annual losses appeared to stem from reports published by a media outlet called Puck and the New York Post.

Stephen Colbert spoofed that viral Coldplay concert clip with help from several fellow late-night hosts, plus Lin-Manuel Miranda and Weird Al.
