After 11 years and some 1,800 episodes, CBS’s “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” ended with a song.
A very symbolic song: Paul McCartney appeared as the show’s last guest and closed out Thursday’s finale at the Ed Sullivan Theater as he sang “Hello, Goodbye” by the Beatles. He was accompanied by Colbert’s house band, Louis Cato and the Great Big Joy Machine; Colbert’s former bandleader, Jon Batiste; one of Colbert’s favorite musicians, Elvis Costello; and Colbert himself.
