In July of last year, CBS announced that \u201cThe Late Show\u201d would be ending after more than 30 years on air. It was an unexpected move that continues to raise questions about the motivations for the cancellation \u2014 CBS maintains it was a purely financial decision. Regardless, the show and host Stephen Colbert, who has been at the helm since 2015, are at the beginning of the end with the series slated to end Thursday. <\/p>\n

Colbert has had a parade of bold face names appear in the final weeks, including former President Barack Obama; Strike Force Five<\/a> a.k.a. the other late-night hosts, including Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and John Oliver; Jon Stewart<\/a>; Sally Field<\/a>; Julia Louis-Dreyfus<\/a> and, of course, former \u201cLate Show\u201d host David Letterman (while the interview<\/a> is worth watching, the wanton destruction of CBS property<\/a> might be the highlight). <\/p>\n

It has been a memorable run of shows, but there were countless interviews and monologues over the years that made Colbert and \u201cThe Late Show\u201d a must-watch. Here, our writers share their favorite moments.<\/p>\n
