Fond Farewell
The Daily Show host also brought out surprise musical guest Andra Day to perform her 2015 hit "Rise Up"
Jon Stewart stopped by The Late Show to pay tribute to his friend and former colleague Stephen Colbert, offering up a few gifts to honor the late-night show’s unfortunate ending.
During the lengthy interview, Colbert and Stewart reminisced about their days together on The Daily Show, where Colbert was a correspondent for eight years. Colbert shared a photo of the pair together behind The Daily Show desk 27 years ago. “This is no disrespect to me, but one of us has not aged as well as the other,” Stewart quipped. “This looks like a double-blind study where they gave one of these people is getting age-defying peptides and the other one is getting a placebo. I have gotten the placebo.”
Stewart also offered his thoughts on CBS deciding to cancel The Late Show, which comes to an end on Thursday night. “I just think it’s so smart what CBS is doing,” he said sarcastically. “I just think it’s such a good move to take this show off the air and then also ruin your evening news and then reduce 60 Minutes to, like, six good ones.”
