Stephen Colbert signed off from “The Late Show” with one final star-studded night at the Ed Sullivan Theater. Paul McCartney joined Colbert for the finale, returning to the same stage where The Beatles made television history more than 60 years ago. The episode featured celebrity cameos, jokes about Colbert’s “final guest,” and ended with McCartney and Colbert turning off the theater lights together, closing out a late-night TV era.

Stephen Colbert may have said goodbye to late night, but he wasn’t leaving quietly 💃🏻🕺After wrapping his final episode of The Late Show, the host, 62, hit the dance floor at his “Fired & Festive!” afterparty in NYC - and when wife Evie came out to join him, the celebration was even sweeter ❤️ 📽️: gayleking#stephencolbert
