15. Impressive And Sad To See It End

Kissinger being on there shocked me as did Norquist and David Gregory. Kissinger is pretty old maybe he's one of those righties who doesn't get the satire but Norquist? I was sure Patrick Stewart had to be there, he was on the show all the time, but I'll have to go back to look for him.

Getting all these folks together was just amazing.

Fake Colbert will be sorely missed. Just like Letterman I'm sure he'll get his shots in at the loony right here and there but it will never be the same.

All things pass, Stewart remains though and hopefully the replacement, Larry Wilmore I think is his name, will carry on in good fashion.
