The end is near for Colbert Nation. Comedy Central and Stephen Colbert announced the guests for the host’s final week of The Colbert Report before he makes the jump to broadcast.
Up first on Monday is an interview with The Interview’s Seth Rogen. Considering that Rogen won’t get to talk to the media at tonight’s film premiere, Colbert will be the first to ask some tough questions about the Sony Pictures hack.
On Tuesday, Colbert will chat with rapper Kendrick Lamar, who recently released the single “i.” Lamar will also perform on the show.
The last author to appear on the Report will be Phil Klay, a veteran who recently won the 2014 National Book Award for Fiction for Redeployment.
On Thursday, Dec. 18, Colbert’s guest will be “Grimmy,” the affectionate nickname Colbert has given the Grim Reaper.
After that, fans won’t see Colbert until Dec. 30, when CBS airs the Kennedy Center Honors ceremony from this past weekend.
While David Letterman’s final episode of The Late Show will air on May 20, don’t expect to see Colbert on May 21. He said yesterday that he plans on taking a break from television. CBS hasn’t announced when Colbert will finally make his Late Show debut.
Comedy Central will air classic Report shows at 10 p.m. on Monday through Thursday next week as well.
