Fans gathered outside the Ed Sullivan Theater in Manhattan to reflect on Stephen Colbert’s legacy as The Late Show prepares to tape its final episode. Many described him as a genius, intelligent, well-spoken, and well-thought-out. Fans said they wanted to be near where it happened, even if they could not be inside. They emphasized that his humor helps make current events manageable, and that without laughter people may “lose it.” Several expressed sadness that the show ended, and one linked the moment to broader concerns about society taking a step backward in telling the truth.
"I think as a society we're taking a big step backwards in terms of being able to tell the truth, and it's sad. It shouldn't have ended this way."
