During his final monologue on Thursday, Colbert told the audience, “Tonight is our final broadcast from the Ed Sullivan Theater. We were lucky enough to be here for the last 11 years, all right? Can’t take this for granted, though technically our first show in July of 2015 was from a public access station in Monroe, Michigan for an audience of 12 people.”
Colbert was referring to his July 2015 appearance on the public access show Only in Monroe, which he used as a test run for host before taking over the Late Show, with Eminem serving as guest. “Show business being what it is these days, that’s probably where you’ll see me next,” Colbert quipped Thursday.
