Stephen Colbert Sets Final ‘Late Show’ Guests: Jon Stewart, Steven Spielberg, David Byrne, Bruce Springsteen

The final week of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will feature the host chatting with an old friend and musical performances by two big rock stars (and Colbert himself).

CBS has released a lineup for Colbert’s final week of shows, leading up to the May 21 finale of both Colbert’s tenure and The Late Show itself — thanks to the network’s decision last year to cancel the show that it says is a money loser. Jon Stewart, Steven Spielberg, David Byrne and Bruce Springsteen are all set to appear on the show next week.

The Late Show isn’t revealing a full lineup for the week, choosing to save some surprises for the audience. On Wednesday, May 20, for instance, the listings say Colbert will subject himself to the “Colbert Questionert,” with special guests asking the questions — but it doesn’t list those guests. Nor is there any guest listed for the final show. Here’s the lineup for the week:
