> First on LateNighter: Jimmy Kimmel is bowing out so Stephen Colbert can bow out.

> When The Late Show with Stephen Colbert airs its final episode on CBS Thursday, May 21, Jimmy Kimmel Live! will be dark.

> Kimmel himself confirmed to LateNighter that his ABC show will not produce a new episode next Thursday out of deference to Colbert’s sendoff.

>First on LateNighter: Ahead of Stephen Colbert‘s final bow as host of CBS’ The Late Show, a CNN documentary special will survey his potential legacy—as well as the larger implications of his late-night program’s cancellation.

>A new CNN FlashDoc, The Last Laugh: Stephen Colbert, will stream at CNN.com/Watch and on the CNN app this Friday, May 15. It will also air Sunday, May 17 at 8 p.m. ET on CNN, just days before the 33-year-old Late Show franchise’s highly anticipated series finale.

The countdown is on!

Personally, I'd love to see one last appearance by Stephen's identical twin cousin, former Colbert Report host Stephen Colbert, with a final Wørd on current affairs.

>Strike Force Five returns for a special episode celebrating Stephen Colbert and the end of The Late Show.

Just got two priority tickets for the May 21 finale!! Check your emails if you joined the waitlist!
