Stephen Colbert surprises fans with “Worst of the Late Show” with NSFW Gravy Gag. Colbert is wrapping up the show on Thursday, May 21, after 11 incredible seasons as the host. Hence, before he pulls the curtain down on the show, he presents fans with a much-needed “Worst of the Late Show.”
Stephen Colbert brings ‘worst of the Late Show’ ahead of finale
Stephen Colbert showcases the “Worst of the Late Show” ahead of the talk show mega finale. Colbert dedicates Monday’s episode to the segments, sketches, and graphics that never made it to air (via Variety).
The 62-year-old joked, “We definitely have enough material for a ‘Best of’ clip show, but y’all have YouTube — you do it. We thought it’d be more fun to show you stuff we made but never aired and call it ‘The Worst of the Late Show,’ though technically what you’re about to see is still the best worst stuff we ever made.”
Colbert also quipped, “If you see anything you don’t like, it’s their fault!” Notably, Colbert had some interesting stuff to showcase to fans. One such content he presented was a parody commercial for a product called Erotic Body Gravy, ideal for post-Thanksgiving dinner s*x.
In the “Graphics Graveyard” segment, Colbert presented a Thanksgiving porn magazine called Giblets.
The talk show host welcomed back a character named Shrieking Joe, modelled on Kid Rock. Notably, Shrieking Joe wasn’t very well received when he was initially shown on air, leading to a drop in ratings. Shrieking Joe performed a duet with Late Show writer Michael Cruz Kayne called “It’s Raining Fish.” The song was inspired by the classic “It’s Raining Men.”
Colbert concluded by delivering a heartwarming note. He said, “We never could’ve made all that terrible stuff — as well as some of the good stuff we showed you — without the amazing people in this room. This staff is so brilliant, collaborative, so creative, and so kind.”
Finally, he requested fans to tune in for the finale. He promised them it would be better than the “Worst of the Late Show” segment.
