Obama's Farewell on Colbert's Late Show

0:00On April 24th, Stephen Colbert's late show is coming to an end on May 21st, and he's lined up a heavy hitter for one of his final episodes. Former President Barack Obama would drop by on May 5th for a chat straight from the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago. This marks another visit for Obama, who's been a regular on Colbert's shows over the years. Colbert spilled the news during Thursday's taping and couldn't resist joking about his own future. He ran down wild rumors like jumping to CNN, starting a wildlife rescue, or even running for president. The crowd went wild, chanting his name and blasting a bit of hail to the chief. That presidential nod got big cheers, but Colbert played a cool saying parts of those rumors hold water. He revealed plans to lead an animal sanctuary for the rare blitzer wolf, complete with a funny photo of him feeding CNN's wolf blitzer from a bottle. CBS calls the cancellation, a straight financial move amid tough late-night times, not tied to the show's quality.

As the curtain falls on three decades of late-night legacy, Obama's visit promises real talk before Colbert signs off for good. Pop culture, power by AI. This is entertainment in celebrity news today.
