  • The 62-year-old host admitted he 'did not expect it to end this way,' noting his staff must clear offices immediately after the final show and will stop getting paid the next day.
  • While no guests have been announced for the May 21 finale, Colbert is writing a new 'Lord of the Rings' movie and has acknowledged uncertainty about his next career move beyond late-night television.
