Stephen Colbert is set to film the last ever episode of The Late Show on Thursday before throwing a special after party. Invites promise a 'Fired and Festive' dress code near the Ed Sullivan Theater.
The 62-year-old host will tape the finale on May 21 and follow it with a bash at a nearby NYC event space. Invites feature the show's tweaked red white and blue logo reading 'The LAST SHOW with Stephen Colbert' and close with 'That's a WRAP! (PARTY)'. Guests include many celebrities beyond those on the episode itself. Colbert announced the show's end last July saying CBS was pulling the plug after his run since 2015. Predecessor David Letterman joined him last week for a chaotic roof segment tossing furniture watermelons and cake onto a giant CBS logo below. Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon will air reruns in respect that night. So is this the end of an era or just the start of a legendary after party story?
