A great conclusion to the great show.
ADDED: GIFs of the cameos. My thoughts: 1. The first one I saw was the person I like best: Willie Nelson. 2. Samantha Power really wants you to think she's a very fun person, 3. Bill Clinton claims and gets special attention.

A sanctimonious progressive was only a mask? Well done. I was fooled.
He proved he is not a robot.
So where was the archery? They said there'd be archery. Or am I thinking of the wrong show?
Colbert is a realist making fun of the Fantasyland we are fed 24/7. He can never run out of material.
He was supposed to be funny...No??
Lower ratings that alsharpton does not a great show make.
Meh.
I look forward to not watching his new show ether.
I always liked Colbert's interviews. He's so quick.
I haven't watched his show in years.
Guess that's why it's no more.
The Property Brothers don't wear masks and get double Colbert's ratings.
"I haven't watched his show in years.

Not exactly.
My parents watch property brothers. How does Colbert have lower ratings than that?
It typical for progressives to claim triumph after failure though.
Who was Stephen Colbert?
While I'll admit he is often genuinely very funny, I've never been a regular viewer since I find his liberal bias tedious, predictable, and depressing. I won't be watching his new show either, but I suspect it will do very well.
That Mark-1 bit was almost as funny as Smarter Lil Lena taking off her clothes and dancing around in her granny panties.
I especially liked that original joke about deserts, big trucks and machine guns. Damn, he is not funny!
I saw a twitter joke that was funnier, Truck was purchased at auction in Texas by Achmed Gonzales.
Easy to call something 'great' when it bashes conservatives.
Never watched it, although I've seen some clips on line. Too much studio audience cheering, as so many shows.
I don't think I've watched TV since August -- and that was just MASH reruns. Unless you count watching Downton Abbey online.
Colbert, Stewart, Maher and the rest really aren't funny at all. Without the clappy seal audience of OWS types to hoot and holla every time the host rolls his eyes or straightens his tie he'd have nothing.
It is hard to criticize a happy warrior of any political stripe. because a job done well and happily is almost always a pleasure to watch.
Kudos to him on a successful show run which enriched him, and provided quite a few laughs to his audience as well.
He also gets credit for wearing a three piece suit with aplomb.
Shameless self promotion done with a smile? I'd sure rather have that on my TV than Hillary.
Abusing the term "great" is appears.
Intellectual, morally bankrupt asshole.
Did a lot of damage to society in allowing progressive idiots to feel comfortable in their arrogance and condescending hateful attitude towards the rest of America. Talk about social gridlock.
Maybe the new Colbert will be a different, less hateful entertainer.
Whatever, at least he's not as bad as the brainless left and their insular worship circle jerk. The articles praising Colbert's "brilliance" - particularly the blow job in yesterday's Washington Post - are all exercises in the elitist self-worship of the left. Good riddance.
If you're capped out on political contributions, you can always advertise on the Colbert show. Plus his show is more entertaining than most political ads.
I don't like him. He makes front of conservatives. *foot stomp*
Unfortunately the pistachio ads were funnier than the show.
"Colbert is a realist"
He says things like "Reality has a liberal bias." He's a realist with a ideologue's view of reality.
Garage is so right. When he is making front of conservatives, he is so, so courageous and brave. It is very tough to bring the truthiness in America today!
Truthiness to Power!
I watched only a few shows but the mask wasn't obvious from what I got out of it. He asked questions designed to stump the talking points of whoever he was talking to, which was amusing.
I never took them as his own views, just his throwing sand in the plan.
I'm remembering the Kennedy School of Government, the water museum, and a few others of long ago.
I thought I was an old curmudgeon. But you guys thinking Colbert's performances are not witty, creative and funny as hell is making me look like a youngster.

Wanna know if something is actually funny? Laugh along with the audience or laugh track.Most stuff on tv is not humorous. When I grt stuck watching something annoying with the wife or kids, I start laughing along quietly with the"audience". Really pisses them off, haha.
I think Colbert's act was pretty clever. And Jon Stewart and even Bill Maher. Just speaking comedy-wise, it can be pretty damn good, in my opinion.
But the politics behind them all is tired, tired, tired.
TG, I can read lines fed to me and seem witty also.
I quit watching Colbert a couple years ago. Not sure why, just lost interest.
He is witty, sharp, and intelligent.
He's "mainstream" because of his politics (bashing conservatives).
I thought comedy was dead in America. A trait shared by marxists/leftist and islamists.
However, I discovered an unsung Boston comic named Bill Burr. Politically incorrect, and have no idea what his politics are.
Just as witty, sharp, and intelligent as Colbert...but you never know about this guy--he might not a liberal. Probably, but not for sure.
We can't take that chance. Hence, mainstream is not for him.
@Donald...I am not as emotionally intelligent as The Professor and many others, but I genuinely know Colbert's personality type.
IMO it is extremely charming and intelligent, which is what makes his zingers so potent. Hate him for that, but still enjoy the show.
Colbert is a comedic genius in this regard:
A really good comic laughs at himself. Colbert pretended to be someone else, and laughed at himself.
So, he never laughed at himself, but at O'Rielly and other conservatives, while the audience felt like he was laughing at himself.
Why aren't there any funny pubes?
It was good to see so many republicans invited to be in the cameos, making clear that Colbert's satire is all in good fun.
God I hate Colbert more than Stewart if that's possible.
Or, to put a finer point on it - just because he has a quick wit doesn't make him funny. Nor does his Catholicism validate his rather pale imitations of Conservatives. Just makes him appealing to his target demographic.
Is that his target demographic?
Looked like a scene from the movie Cocoon.

Question asked; question answered.

I was once in Hollywood and watched some television show reps handing out tickets on the street for that afternoon’s show. More than half the takers were druggies and street people. Our proxies, guiding the culture.
If we're lucky, he might tell a George Bush joke. He certainly would never tell an Obama joke.
I hadn't seen his show, but recently someone told me that he interviewed Terence Tao, so I looked up the clip. It depressed me and made me never want to watch the show again. There wasn't a lot of letting the interesting person talk. Tidal wave after tidal wave of broad comedy to drown anything I wanted to hear about. Why even have Dr. Tao on? If that show embodied the approach of my generation, I am embarrassed.
Or maybe that clip was not at all representative. If that's the case, I take back my pan.
A great show? I think not. Not now, not ever; never.
