Last night I saw my life in 8 minutes

[Peacetrain]

The joy of community within the liberal base.. My generation has its issues like all generations do...but we were blessed with underlying community even in hard and sad times..

&t=9s

[Bettie]

1. That was really great

good ending for the show.

Sad to see Stephen go.

[wnylib]

2. It was a good way to end the show, upbeat and celebratory.

[RainCaster]

3. and now I'm done with CBS

I have no reason to watch anything on CBS any longer. May they die in obscurity.

[Walleye]

26. CBS is already dead to me

[Botany]

4. I'm crying. That was so well done and such genius with the artists and the production of that show.

Steven has a good voice too. That was an example of why Trump gets so upset about
Mr. Colbert because he is smart, kind, and talented and like President Obama they are
@ a level aTrump could never be.

[Lifeafter70]

27. And he has true friends

Something trump will never have. ........


Love

[Botany]

30. And look @ all the artists and people who came out to support him.

Colbert:
Paul McCartney, David Byrne, Springsteen, Elvis Costello, and on and on.

Trump:
Kid Rock

32. Word!

[Wild blueberry]

5. Wonderful farewell

Watched last night and cried.
Thank you, Colbert and everyone.

[peggysue2]

6. That was a great send-off!

And Colbert actually has a voice. Who knew??

[Zambero]

7. In earlier years he fronted a Rolling Stones cover band

Al Franken has dablled in that band's repertoire as well.

[peggysue2]

8. Wow

Did not know that. Most excellent!

[Botany]

31. And he can dance too

No wonder Trump hates him because he has real talent which Trump doesn’t.

[Marcuse]

9. I see a popular podcast in his future - among other things.

[DownriverDem]

10. Then what happened?

Why did so many Baby Boomers betray what we fought for and move to the right? I think it happened with Reagan. They just don't want those that need help to get it if those in need don't look like them. Disgusting.

[TheRickles]

13. No generation marches in unison.

The hippie/progressive/open-hearted Boomers did their bit and planted the seeds that are going to sprout in the wreckage left behind when the empire wrought by their conservative/selfish/fearful Boomer brethren (and sisters) collapses and dies.

[hamsterjill]

14. Thank you.

From a Boomer who hopes to be around to see that happen!

[Cirsium]

15. Let's not do that

Setting one generation against the other is reactionary. Wealthy white people live longer, and have easier access to the polls. Wealthy white people vote Republican. Many of my friends are dead. They were all left wingers. Most "boomers" I know or knew took care of their parents, their adult children and their grandchildren. Many struggle along now on Social Security. Many seniors are still working.

93% of Black "boomers" voted for Harris.

In the 60s when people said "don't trust anyone over 30" I called them out on that. The same principle applies today.

Blaming "boomers" is just lazy. By the way, can we ever retire that stupid word "boomer?"

[MustLoveBeagles]

21. It's wrong to blame an entire generation for this

And if we're going to point fingers, GenX (mine) played a large role in we're at today.

[Walleye]

28. Yes, we hear a lot from younger people about how terrible our generation is

It is really us who is disappointed in them. They have not taken care of what we fought so strenuously for. Time to step up kids

[Lifeafter70]

29. Not all of us moved right

Just like not all the young picked up our cry for justice.
We are still here but very weary.
I have been protesting and speaking up since 1967 and will continue.

I'm so very tired but can not rest.

[BeneteauBum]

11. Way cool and poignant

Peace ☮️

[Grumpy Old Guy]

12. Is that Elvis Costello? Nt

[FadedMullet]

16. I was wondering too. And who dressed him? He stuck out like a sore thumb.

[Peacetrain]

22. It was Elvis Costello!

Just loved it

[TommieMommy]

17. Stephens last show was heartwarming. So many supporters. I will miss him sooo much 💙

I cried at the end 😞

[Figarosmom]

18. Only thing i wish was different was the wormhole

Should have been orange. He stayed away from anything trump ( I'm sure as a slight) but just that one thing would have been good and I don't think trump would have got it anyway.

[byronius]

19. Wow, gorgeous. Sweet!

[SuzyandPuffpuff]

20. Wow

Tears streaming

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. Stephen Colbert will bounce back from from this

And be better than ever. I'm angry this happened to him.

[BidenRocks]

24. Stephen and Elvis go way back.

"A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift Of All!", DVD has Elvis Costello with a major part.
Shocker. It was released in 2008.
Back then Colbert had a thing about bears.

So many happy memories.

[Dixiegrrrl]

25. Thank you so much for posting this.

Goodbye to the end of a marvellous era.😥

[yellow dahlia]

33. It was a beautiful coming together moment.
