Stephen Colbert Announces His Last ‘Colbert Report’ Episode Will Be December 18th

During last night’s Colbert Report, Stephen took a moment to shamelessly hawk the paperback edition of his 2012 book America Again: Re-Becoming the Greatness We Never Weren’t, but not without good reason: Colbert announced that the official date for the final episode of the show is now Thursday, December 18th. “Stephen Colbert, the guy you’ve seen here every night for nine years, will be gone. All you’ll have left of me is this book.”
