Stephen Colbert has bid farewell to the Late Show with a final episode that featured a star-studded lineup of guests. The episode included appearances by notable figures such as Paul McCartney and Ryan Reynolds, with some outlets describing it as a wild and unpredictable finale, while others characterized it as a more subdued and safe goodbye. The tone and content of the episode are somewhat disputed, with descriptions ranging from "warm" to "wilder" and including elements such as a wormhole.
