Colbert's Final Show: Obama's Surprise Visit

0:00On April 24, Stephen Colbert is dropping a bombshell guest before his late show raps up on May 21st. Barack Obama is sitting down with him on May 5th, broadcasting live from the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. It's Obama's first interview from there, and he's been a regular on Colbert's shows over the years. Colbert got real playful about his post-show plans during Thursday's taping. He joked about wild rumors like jumping to CNN, launching a wildlife rescue, or even running for president. The crowd went wild, chanting his name and blasting hail to the chief. That presidential bit got big cheers, but Colbert hid back with a twist. He said all those rumors are partially true, then revealed he's becoming president of an animal sanctuary for the rare blitzer wolf complete with a photo of him bottle-feeding CNN's wolf blitzer. CBS is calling this a straight financial move amid tough late-night times, not about the show's quality. They're slotting in Byron Allen's comics unleashed, starting May 22nd, but it's temporary while they brainstorm new ideas for the 11, 35 PM spot.

1:06As Colbert bows out after three decades of late-night fire, Obama's visit feels like the perfect capstone, leaving fans hyped for that final stretch. From the spotlight, powered by AI, this is Entertainment and Celebrity News today.
