As he prepares to say goodbye to The Late Show, Stephen Colbert decided to send his jokes about the war in Iran to his colleague, host Jimmy Kimmel.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will go off the air next month to make room for the comedy show by Byron Allen, Comics Unleashed, which will take over CBS‘s late-night slot starting May 21.
Looking for a way to continue his legacy even after his show ends, Colbert decided to put all his jokes about the war in Iran into a box to send to his colleague, host Jimmy Kimmel.
“Yesterday, [Donald] Trump announced that he was extending a ceasefire between the United States and Iran just hours before it was set to expire. This time, he did not specify an end date,” Colbert began.
This made the host worried that the war might not end before May 21. So, he decided to prepare the gift for Kimmel to continue his legacy. “Enjoy it, my friend! [This is] on its way to you. Can we send this by mail?”, he joked afterward.
In addition to his precious jokes, Colbert is also taking the opportunity to part with some items from his set, encouraging viewers to buy mugs, ties, and even a piece of the red carpet.
Another item reportedly for sale is the sign that reads “The Late Show.” “Buy this and, like me, you can have The Late Show hanging over your head for the rest of your life,” Colbert said during the show.
