Stephen Colbert's Final Show Breaks Weeknight Viewership Records

The series finale of 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' aired on Thursday night, achieving a remarkable average of 6.74 million viewers, the highest for a weeknight episode in the show's 11-year history. CBS canceled the show last summer due to financial pressures in late-night television, despite the strong viewership for the finale. Colbert's farewell featured a star-studded performance with Paul McCartney and others, drawing significant attention as rival shows opted for reruns.
