The final episode of “The Late Show” aired, marking the end of Stephen Colbert’s tenure among family and friends. While Colbert’s witty critiques of power will be missed, the “Meanwhile…” segment, known for its clever wordplay and unusual news, will also be fondly remembered. In his last “Meanwhile…” Colbert humorously ignored the peculiar happenings on stage to deliver a nautical-themed address. He described how his monologue was like a “blissfully steady fly bridge yacht of comedy,” contrasting it with the more chaotic process of crafting “Meanwhile…” using an “unsinkable gratitude dinghy of news.” A highlight was news of a lawsuit concerning the unauthorized use of music from “Peanuts” TV specials. In response, the show’s band simulated a tune that sounded familiar. Colbert humorously expressed concern about potential financial repercussions for CBS.
