Before Denro and I attended last weekend’s Albany Comic Con, we caught a fun show with Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits.
My ‘Last Show with Stephen Colbert’ t-shirt arrived today. I shall wear it proudly.
Shall I watch the 3-hour film, Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles? I’ll save it for later, after watching Thor and Hercules pummel each other, Kirby-style.

Donald proves once again that every accusation is an admission. He’s as trashy as Colbert is classy.

There’s nothing clever or funny about Trump. All he has are his endless, mindless insults. He is a bottomless pit of need and insecurity.
Here’s the fun thing that Colbert did on community cable TV after his final CBS show.
Not only a Beatle, but a Peanuts reference too, in Colbert’s swan song.
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.
David Letterman was feeling his Indiana oats, and he pretty much took over last night’s show from Stephen Colbert. Letterman is his own, unique kind of stunt man.

Over at News From Mark Evanier, he’s been talking about the soon to end Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
The New York Times — for those of you who can pass beyond its paywall — has an interview with David Letterman about the end of The Late Show and this essay by critic Jason Zinoman about what it all means to us.
A NYTimes subscription comes with ten paywall-free links to share within each $30 4-week billing cycle.
Here’s the Letterman interview:
