The final episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” was broadcast on the US television channel CBS on Thursday evening. The show is canceled after around eleven years and 1,801 episodes for financial reasons.

What happens next for Colbert is unclear. As he jokes on the show, he’s going to start doing drugs. Whether the presenter will continue to appear in the spotlight and on television screens remains to be seen. (nib)
