Colbert’s Second Hello, Goodbye

Douglas Pratt, Colbert Hero

The Colbert Report came and went. Now The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has come and gone. For no good reason. In fact, CBS BS claims aside, it was for a very bad reason, named Trump.

Having Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello present for Stephen’s Last Show made the farewell special for me. There is no “best” Beatles song, but forced to choose one Beatles song as my favorite, over all others, it would be ‘Hello Goodbye’.

I’m not done with Colbert yet, as I await the delayed delivery of my Last Show t-shirt.

One thought on “Colbert’s Second Hello, Goodbye”

  1. To quote Uncle Billy: “Gee, I would have liked to have been there.” What a great ending, with the whole audience on stage. No maudlin tears

    Of course, the Beatles made their American debut on the exact same stage “all those years ago.” Sending the Ed Sullivan theatre and into a snow globe via a black hole that’s what Tom said it was) was strange, yeah, cheesy AI, but it sure closed the circle.
