Adam Sandler, Anderson Cooper, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Andy Cohen were among those who made surprise appearances on Monday's episode after CBS announced that the late night show would be ending in May 2026.
Stephen Colbert spoofed that viral Coldplay concert clip with help from several fellow late-night hosts, plus Lin-Manuel Miranda and Weird Al.
The gag started with Miranda and Weird Al coming out to perform a song – a Coldplay song, in fact, a reference to the Astronomer scandal, which saw the CEO resigning after getting caught with the company’s HR chief on a kiss-cam at a recent concert from Chris Martin’s band.
"You know how they say there's no such thing as bad publicity? They're not talking about this," the recently axed late night host says.
