John Lithgow Honors Colbert with Poem: ‘Why Does His Exit Stir up Such Despair?’

LITHGOW: “The time has arrived for us all to prepare for the doleful departure of Stephen Colbert. How will we last in the gaping black hole that’s left in the absence of this merry soul? For a decade of late night and nine years before of satirical japes on the Colbert report we’ve been lavished with laughter for 20 straight years from the genius between Stephen’s two mismatched ears;[Laughter][Applause][Cheering] Why does his exit stir up such despair? What mysterious magic imbues late night’s air? Stephen’s wit is the source of his lunatic art, his intelligence, wisdom, compassion, and heart. These are the virtues that bring out the best in even his gravest, most humorless guest.”
