Stephen Colbert just celebrated the milestone tenth anniversary of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a headline moment that dominated much of the conversation around late night television this week as covered by the official CBS Press Express and spotlighted in anniversary specials with guests like Cillian Murphy, Lady Gaga, and a surprise appearance from Will Ferrell. The anniversary festivities reminded audiences and industry insiders alike of Colbert’s decade-long reign over the late night landscape and underscored the cultural cachet his satirical voice still holds both in political commentary and celebrity culture.
In the nightly rhythm of the show, big names like Julia Roberts joined Stephen for back-to-back segments—a memorable moment saw Roberts gushing over her film’s director and joyfully recounting her enduring love for New York City, as aired October 1 on CBS and highlighted all over YouTube.

The week’s guest list reads like a who’s who of politics and entertainment, with Governor Gavin Newsom, Priscilla Presley, Jake Tapper, Scarlett Johansson, and even Conan O'Brien lining up, all keeping The Late Show center stage in national conversations.
Colbert’s blend of sharp monologue and pointed satire remains a reference point in late night, with his recent riffs on the looming government shutdown and President Trump’s military remarks sparking digital debates and highlight reels circulating on X and Instagram. According to AOL and The Independent, Colbert also took to social media to clap back playfully at political figures, his posts often going viral and cementing his role as both entertainer and informal commentator. Meanwhile, fans continue to engage with “The Late Show Pod Show,” the podcast adaptation of his nightly broadcasts, which maintains top stop rankings in comedy and news audio.
A notable media crossover occurred as Stephen appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, reflecting openly on the emotional complexity of winning an Emmy while learning about late night show cancellations—a segment drawing industry attention for its candor about the pressures of the business and long-term legacy. Rumors have swirled regarding The Late Show’s future beyond 2025, but there is no official word on any major changes; speculation remains speculative without confirmation from CBS or Colbert’s team. Altogether, Stephen Colbert’s week was a master class in topical wit, cultural relevance, and career longevity, spotlighted by high-profile conversations, headline-making commentary, and an anniversary moment sure to be remembered for years to come.
