The Humorist as Witness: Stephen Colbert's Late Show Legacy Stephen Colbert's final episode as host of The Late Show marked the end of an era of irreverent commentary on current events.
His tenure was not without its stumbles, but Colbert ultimately proved himself a skilled satirist, navigating the challenges of late night television with a unique blend of humor and heart.
One notable moment from his Late Show tenure is the 2015 interview with then Vice President Joe Biden. This sit down, which came just three days into Colbert's tenure as host, was a turning point for the comedian.
