Stewart gifts Colbert recliners, cites Letterman
Stewart gifted Colbert two electric recliners as a nod to well-earned rest after years on air, sharing David Letterman's advice: "Don't confuse cancelation for failure."
CBS canceled The Late Show in July 2025 due to budget issues.
Looking back on his run ahead of his final episode, Colbert said, "I hope they laughed. I hope they felt better at the end of the day."
The farewell week also featured David Byrne performing "Burning Down the House."
