Stephen Colbert is getting ready to say goodbye to 'The Late Show' after hosting the CBS late-night program for 11 seasons. His final episode will air next month.

Colbert has enlisted help from his former boss Jon Stewart as he counts down to his last day. Stewart previously mentored Colbert when he hosted 'The Colbert Report' on Comedy Central from 2005 to 2014.

The comedian took over 'The Late Show' from David Letterman in September 2015. His show became known for sharp political commentary and celebrity interviews during major events like elections and the pandemic.

Colbert's departure continues the changing landscape of late-night television. Other hosts like Conan O'Brien and Trevor Noah have also left their shows in recent years as viewing habits shift to streaming platforms.

Why this matters

Colbert's departure marks the end of another major late-night TV era. His show has been a go-to source for political comedy and news for millions of Americans since 2015.

What to watch

Watch for Colbert's final episode next month and CBS's announcement of his replacement.
