Adam Sandler, Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Andy Cohen were among those who made surprise appearances on Monday's episode after CBS announced that the late night show would be ending in May 2026.

Stephen Colbert recruited celebrities including Adam Sandler for an Astronomer CEO kiss-cam spoof on Monday's "The Late Show."

Kicking off Monday’s show with a joke about Trump wanting to change the name of the Washington Commanders NFL team (the “Washington Epsteins,” Colbert suggested), he walked into the Ed Sullivan Theater to loud cheers and said “This is going to be fun.” It certainly was.

In the wake of Colbert's cancellation, TheWrap spoke to industry insiders to figure out what late night's future may look like.

I believe CBS lost the benefit of the doubt two weeks prior, when they sold out their flagship news program to pay an extortion fee to said president,” Jon Stewart said.
