"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" ended its 11-year run last night . . . inside a snow globe.
The show started with several celebrities popping up thinking they were his last guest . . . including Bryan Cranston, Paul Rudd, Tim Meadows, and Ryan Reynolds.
Stephen's REAL last guest was Paul McCartney . . . but their interview got interrupted when an interdimensional wormhole opened backstage and stuff started getting pulled into it.
Neil deGrasse Tyson showed up to explain that the wormhole opened because of two contradictory realities existing at once: That Colbert's show was #1, but also got canceled.
After Colbert pushed Neil into the wormhole for being a know-it-all, Jon Stewart came along to give Stephen a pep talk.
He was followed by fellow late night hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, and Seth Meyers.
They closed the wormhole so Colbert could get back onstage and finish his show. But the wormhole reopened and sucked up everyone and everything in the theater.
Colbert ended up in a dark room with Elvis Costello, singing his 1977 song "Jump Up", with help from "Late Show" bandleader Louis Cato, and former bandleader Jon Batiste.
But that wasn't it. The show then cut back to the studio, where Paul McCartney sang the Beatles classic "Hello, Goodbye" as Colbert's staffers danced into the studio.
Then they cut to the outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater, where the entire building shrunk down and ended up inside a snow globe on the sidewalk, with the muffled "Late Show" theme song playing inside.
