Stephen Colbert on the End of 'The Late Show,' What's Next & Why CBS Might Have "Saved" His Life

Stephen Colbert opens up like never before in this deeply personal conversation about the end of ‘The Late Show’ and what comes next after more than a decade behind the desk. Reflecting on his childhood and early love of performing, Colbert revisits the defining moments that shaped his career — from his years on ‘The Daily Show’ and the creation of ‘The Colbert Report’ to his longtime friendship and creative partnership with Jon Stewart, and ultimately the journey of building ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.’ He also speaks candidly about grief, including the devastating plane crash that killed his father and two brothers when he was just 10 years old, the faith that carried him through, and the enduring love story behind his 33-year marriage to his wife, Evie. Emotional, funny and unexpectedly vulnerable, Colbert reflects on how much ‘The Late Show’ has meant to him, why saying goodbye is so difficult, and why, in some ways, CBS may have “saved” his life.
