00:00But we are happy to be here tonight.
00:01We have a lot to get into, but before we do, a quick programming note.
00:04We will be off tomorrow night out of respect for our colleague and friend Stephen Colbert
00:09and the writers, producers, and staff and crew at The Late Show,
00:14whose final show on CBS airs opposite ours.
00:17I think you know how I feel about the fact that they are being pushed out.
00:20I hope the people who did the pushing feel ashamed of themselves tonight,
00:23although I know they probably won't.
00:25But that being said, I think it is most important to congratulate Stephen
00:29and the team at The Late Show for all the great work.
00:34All the great work we will continue to do in other venues, I have no doubt.
00:38Everyone at that show has always been very gracious to us, right?
00:41They're very nice.
00:41We never felt like we were competing against them.
00:43It was nothing like the old days of late night.
00:45I always loved being on Stephen's show.
00:47I loved having him here on ours.
00:48I hope we're able to do that again.
00:50I hope he comes to visit as many times as possible.
00:53And on behalf of everyone at our show, we want to say to everyone at your show,
00:56it has been a pleasure to work alongside you.
00:58I will be watching tomorrow night.
01:00I hope that those of you who watch our show will also tune in to CBS for the last time.
01:07Don't ever watch it again, but watch tomorrow night
01:10to wish Stephen and our friends at The Late Show a fond farewell.
01:14So, okay, now let's talk about the a** who forced them off the air.
01:17And thank you, our dear old Uncle Stan
01:23has been very busy making his bank account great again.
