Colbert to Host Final Late Show Wrap Party With 'Fired and Festive' Dress Code
Stephen Colbert will host an after-party after the final taping of The Late Show at the Ed Sullivan Theater, with invitations featuring a tweaked red-white-blue logo and the dress code “Fired & Festive.” The finale is taped on May 21 and will air that night on CBS, which had previously announced the show’s 11-season run would end for financial reasons. A wave of celebrities is expected at the finale and after-party; Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon will air reruns to honor Colbert, and Colbert hints at future projects, including co-writing a Lord of the Rings movie.
