Colbert stated in an exit interview with The Hollywood Reporter that he “did not expect it to end this way” — but in addition that had he gotten to go away on his personal phrases, he would have adopted the same playbook.
“I’d just be a little older. And it would have been my choice, and I probably would have known what the final show was going to be a little bit earlier,” he stated. “On The Colbert Report, I picked that day — I didn’t tell anybody, but I knew two years ahead of time. Well, we didn’t pick this day. We know what it’ll be now, but it took a few months. But maybe they gave me a gift because I had a lot of jokes I could make about the end of the show, and if I’d decided to end the show, then I’m the bad guy — hard to make jokes about that.”
The ultimate episode of The Late Present will air at 11:35 p.m. ET on Could 21.
