    Anyone know where a list of all the folks on stage at the end can be found? I gave up. It was like "Ooo Cindy Lauper, Mandy Patinkin, Willie Nelson, Sam Waterson, Cookie Monster..........."

    From HuffPo
    Colbert sang "We'll Meet Again" with Randy Newman on piano and dozens of celebrity guests joining in a massive singalong, including: Jon Stewart, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Mandy Patinkin, Big Bird, Cyndi Lauper, Katie Couric, Barry Manilow, Patrick Stewart, George Lucas, Henry Kissinger, Sen. Cory Booker, Michael Stipe, Willie Nelson and HuffPost founder Arianna Huffington -- just to name a few.
    From Mediaite:
    Colbert bid farewell to his audience by singing “We’ll Meet Again,” with Jon Stewart joining him by a piano manned by Randy Newman. Oh, but the cameos didn’t end there.
    There was Willie Nelson, Doris Kearns Goodwin, James Franco, Arianna Huffington, Jeff Daniels, Keith Olbermann, Samantha Power, Shane Smith, Katie Couric, among others.
    And then there was Ken Burns, Cyndi Lauper, Mark Cuban, Patrick Stewart, Michael Stipe, and Matt Taibbi, Sam Waterston, Paul Krugman, among others.
    Oh, and, wow, even Mike Huckabee, Grover Norquist, Bill Clinton, and Henry Kissinger, among… others. And, naturally, Big Bird and the rest of the Sesame Street gang was there.
    And then, finally, “the man with all the answers” (Alex Trebek) showed up to take away Colbert to eternity. The end. Bye Colbert Report.

    Hope The Daily Show keeps going. If Jon leaves to do other stuff, a deep hole will be left behind...

    I am reasonably optimistic for Larry Wilmore's "The Nightly Show" , but we shall see.

    At least Colbert will be landing on his feet, ... cushioned by large stacks of CBS money. :)

    Jon Batiste was holding the euponium. He was a recent musical guest who led his band- and Colbert- and the studio audience- out side in marching-band style.
    That episode inspired by wife to get us tickets to see him perform at the Blue Note in NYC and it was awesome.

    Eleanor Holmes Norton was there (She is the non voting rep from DC)

    BTW big shout out to Opus Mordichi who is the head writer for the Colbert show.
    He was in my comedy class at the Improv olympic and has done well for himself.

    His show really was an institution, maybe even moreso than the Daily Show. There was nothing else like it on television.

    The finale was great. It was impressive to see all those random celebrities (and non-celebrities) paying tribute to him.

    Can't stand this young liberal show but I was excited to see Brandon Flowers....then I didn't see him. Where is Brandon Flowers? Can someone point him out?

    As he as taking off in the sleigh Colbert says "Tell Lorraine hello for me" or something to that effect. What was that about?

    "Tell Lorraine I love her" Whatever THAT means. Its not his wife.
