The network paid an undisclosed fee after the Late Show finale featured Vince Guaraldi’s Peanuts classic without a license—and the rights holder donated the money to charity.
The last episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ended with Paul McCartney switching off the lights at the venue where the Beatles made their U.S. television breakthrough in 1964.
The host answered the same intimate questions he has asked more than 80 guests during his Late Show tenure. The segment aired in the show’s final week.
In one of the last musical performances before The Late Show ends, Byrne and his band brought a bright-suited version of the Talking Heads staple, with Colbert stepping in to share the stage.
With the end in sight, Stephen Colbert abandoned restraint on Thursday’s episode, openly mocking his own network’s news division for a bungled overseas assignment.
