Jon Stewart Showers Stephen Colbert With Gifts on ‘The Late Show’
In a heartwarming reunion on Tuesday night’s episode of “The Late Show,” Stephen Colbert welcomed back his longtime friend and former “Daily Show” colleague, Jon Stewart. The two shared a nostalgic moment as Colbert presented Stewart with a photo from 27 years ago when they worked together on Comedy Central.
Stewart, always the jokester, quipped about their aging appearances, poking fun at himself for not aging as gracefully as Colbert. The banter continued as Stewart shared a piece of advice he received from David Letterman during his own late-night show stint, reminding Colbert not to equate cancellation with failure, although in his case, it was indeed a failure.
As the conversation turned to gifts, Stewart surprised Colbert with a thoughtful gesture. Instead of a typical farewell song or poem, Stewart opted for something more tangible – two luxury recliners for them to enjoy. The lighthearted moment was made even more special when Grammy-winning singer Andra Day made a surprise appearance to serenade Colbert with her hit song “Rise Up.”
The final episode of “The Late Show” airs Thursday, with Bruce Springsteen scheduled as the musical guest. As the show wraps up its run, the gifts and well-wishes from Stewart serve as a reminder of the impact Colbert has had as a leading entertainer in the industry.
For fans eager to relive the reunion, the entire interview can be watched below. Stay tuned for the final episode as Colbert bids farewell to his late-night show with a star-studded lineup of guests.
