Alex Trebek joins Stephen Colbert for his last-ever Colbert Report sign-off
In his last-ever episode of The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert extended a heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in the show's production and the guests who appeared throughout its 1,447-episode run.
During the epic sign-off, set in a space-like "eternity" as Trebek and Colbert ride in Santa's sleigh, Colbert gives Jon Stewart a special shout-out. The show also included some 2010 clips of Stewart and Colbert together, "getting angry at liberals."
Check out Colbert's final goodbye in the video below, and watch some of his other epic sign-offs here. --Meghan DeMaria
