"In his appearance on "The Late Show" on May 14, Letterman, a hero to late-night hosts (and a lot of critics), renewed one of his old bits as he and Colbert tossed office furniture off the roof of a building ― this time aiming for the CBS logo. At the end, Letterman channeled Edward R. Murrow, the famous CBS journalist, with a twist: "To the folks at CBS, in the words of the great Ed Murrow, good night, and good luck, (expletive)." John Oliver repeated the phrase on the May 17 episode of "Last Week with John Oliver."

Colbert's final guests include Jon Stewart, Steven Spielberg, performances by David Byrne and Bruce Springsteen and some guests that haven't been revealed. Way back when, when Colbert hosted "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central, he played a parody of a Sean Hannity-like dim-bulb conservative talk-show host. On his first episode, in 2005, he introduced the word "truthiness" ― trusting in something because it feels like it's true, not because the facts support it.

It was a joke, a brilliant one. Unfortunately, it's turned out to be true, too. As in factually true. The real-life Colbert fought against truthiness. He may have lost his job, but at least he didn't lose his soul."
