    Colbert's Final Week: A Bittersweet Victory Lap Stephen Colbert is gearing up for his last week on "The Late Show," and it looks like a packed, emotional finale. He's already announced the lineup for next week's shows, with Monday kicking off with "The Worst of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert," which sounds like an entertaining retrospective. But there are five things I really hope happen before he signs off: Firstly, his long-awaited "white whale" guest needs to appear.

    Who could it be? Maybe someone who has evaded him for years due to scheduling conflicts or personal reasons? Secondly, his number one crush should grace the stage. Is it a celebrity with whom he's had a longstanding admiration from afar?

    Thirdly, I'd love to see Colbert tackle some of the political issues that have dominated late-night television during his tenure, especially considering the impact of the Trump presidency on the format. Fourthly, wouldn't it be amazing if we got a performance by one of Colbert's favorite musical acts or comedians who've supported him throughout his career? Lastly, I'm holding out hope for some kind of special tribute to recognize all the incredible moments and guests over the years.

    This could include surprise appearances from former co-hosts, producers, writers, and friends. The fact that Paramount has released this information shows just how much anticipation there is for Colbert's final week. It also highlights a broader shift in late-night television as networks grapple with changing economic realities and viewership patterns. Is it fair to say that Stephen Colbert's departure marks the beginning of a new era in late-night TV, or is this more about individual show transitions rather than an industry-wide shift?
