I didn't know that's the most in all the
photons
said to me last night and she said we'd
still be able to come out here though
won't we and I said why she said because
there's a certain collagen for my life
that I can't get at home but look even
though we have a patched show tonight
and we do we are not going to ignore
what is our sacred duty to give you the
American people the biggest most
important news stories of the day for
the final time it's the news
[Music]
of course there is only one story only
one story that the world is talking
about today and they've been talking
about it all week really
a bunch of glue a spilled on a Michigan
Highway okay you know like this story a
truck overturned don't worry no injuries
were reported but the road was unusable
for almost 24 hours look at that
I mean talk about being stuck in traffic
oh come on
[Applause]
retiring at the height of his powers you
know what I mean yeah
yeah now jokes like that and it's like
peace out
baseball yeah
here's a new story we saw researchers
have taught Birds how to make this is
true video calls right which allows them
to develop I promise you long distance
relationships chatting with another bird
that story again pet birds are better
with technology than your mum and dad

gone so good at filming themselves
they've even started and only feathers

great show for you this evening we

before we I think before we wrap this up
uh there was somebody who wanted to um
there's somebody who has relied on our
show for the news I mean for for
certainly the last three four years but
I think for a long time he he just
wanted to you know send you a quick
message so
[Music]
1200 shows in eight years but after Dave

and a gift I'm surprised it lasted eight
years in any show

you for all the joy you brought to homes
across America
[Music]
and a special thanks for never asking me
to sing in the car

through well what other job will allow
you to break into song and dance every
single night I don't sing and dance
every night you do it's been a lot like
a lot that's no I did nearly two years
without singing and dancing once yeah
but that was during Colvin and then as
soon as Corbett was over you did a huge
musical number with Ariana Grande about
how covet was over for more on this it's
time for a closer look
[Music]
and after that there was immediately
another lockdown okay fine

life but
I am leaving

the terms of the official exit

retirement too much you're gonna grow a
beard a huge one one that says God spoke
to me from a bush
uh you know God did speak to me and he
told me I don't need to be in this bid
and don't get any big Ideas stick to
corporate gigs podcasts maybe The Masked
Singer come on this doesn't feel fat you
know when I first moved here to America
to take over this show all I would hear
was talk of the late night Wars
then I came to realize we're not at War

much together
when you think about it
we're just some funny boys who like to
spread some Joy
just talk about this you're embarrassing
your country okay
splitting up your ideas splitting up my
ideas yes you're leaving your show we
figure out who gets what okay what does

what about Emoji news what's that you
know we take a news headline we turn
that headline into emojis the audience
has to guess

look I'm sorry you can't have any of my
ideas I'm not growing a beard I'm not

[Applause]
welcome back now
I've been I've been thinking for a while
the last few weeks about what
I was going to say as we come to the end
of the show after this
this wonderful adventure and and I have
uh if I wanted to I've I've struggled at
times I've I've struggled to
find the words to sum up what this past
eight years has meant to me it is almost
impossible I I frankly I don't know
where to start
but I sit here now today with nothing
but love
gratitude and pride this show is
everything it is everything I ever
wanted it to be and uh I've got to tell
you if you if you like this show and
you're tuned in here in the in the
middle of the night or online I cannot
stress enough that I am I am just one
part of a big team who make this show
this incredible family here
who have made The Late Late Show and so
many of our team
here they started this show on day one
and here we are 1200 shows later and I
would like to take this moment to thank
each and every one of you who works on
this show from the bottom of my heart
for the love and the dedication that you
have given
to making this show what it is today I
love every single one of you I will
forever be in your corner always always
always I told you last night
this was never my show
this was never my show it was ours and
I'm gonna miss every single don't this
time
I'm gonna miss every single one of you
so much I wanna I wanna if you let me I
want to say uh
a huge thank you to Reggie in the band
um
when um
when Reggie said that he'd that he'd
come and he'd join the show it changed
everything for me it really really did
it changed it was the first time that I
thought we might actually be able to do
something new and fresh and I love you
so much man I love you I thank you for
taking a leap with me on this
and for putting together this
unbelievable band to Hagar Guillermo Tim
and Steve I could never have imagined it
would have been this great
and over the past few years Ian you were
you were I can't look at you while I say
this if that's all right you Ian you
were the second writer that we hired on
this show
and from the minute we met I was like I
think I've just met the funniest person
I will ever meet in my life and you have
never ever let me down and I'm so lucky
that you and Lauren are the head writers
here because
both of you your work your dedication
your your precision and your skill has
been incredible and I can't thank you
both enough
um we are very very lucky to be on a
network like CBS I cannot express how
fantastic they have been with me from
day one
it's unfathomable why they took a chance
on me to do this job I will never
understand it but they have supported
and they have loved this show and
I will be forever grateful for what
they've done for me and my
family it's been uh
it's been life-changing
it really has because
moving here to America
moving here to America eight years ago
it was a huge leap for me my family
my son was three her daughter was 12
weeks old and we now have another small
person and she's American yeah
we uh
you know we started this show we started
with Obama
then Trump
then a global pandemic and and I've
watched I've watched America change a
lot over these past few years I've
watched I've watched divisions grow and
and I've seen and I've felt a sense of
negativity bubble and it points boil
over
and I guess all I really want to say
tonight is I implore you to remember
what America
signifies to the rest of the world my
entire life it has always been a place
of optimism and joy and yes it has flaws
so many but show me a country that
doesn't show me a person that doesn't me
you all of us we are all trying to
figure this out we are every single one
of us a work in progress and just
because somebody disagrees with you it
doesn't make them bad or evil we are all
more the same than we are
different and there are so many people
there are so many people who are
who are trying to stoke those
differences and we have to try as best
we can to look for the light look for
the joy because if you do it's out there
and that's all this show
has ever been about all we've ever
wanted is just be a little a little bit
of light and levity at the end of your
day thank you for letting me do this
thank you for letting me into your home
every night
I've never taken for granted what an
absolute privilege this has been now
look when we come back
when we come back
you are gonna be absolutely shocked at
how we are going to end this show guess
what
we're going to end with a song I know
what are the chances come on back
everybody
[Applause]
[Music]
now the last guest has gone from the
Green Room and our last conversation is
done
the final rehearsal is over
and the final commercial has run no more
late late Tinder for swiping no more
torturous games for a laugh
no more risking my life on a fighter jet
or learning too much about our staff
squeezing myself into Spanx every night
for 1200 times in a row
so good night
thanks for watching
that's our show
[Music]
[Applause]
lost karaoke's been coupled and we all
came along for the right
the Lost spill your Cuts has been
swallowed and I'm still feeling nauseous
inside
and soon I will head home to London but
I'll sure miss it here in L.A
the weather my friends and those micro
green salads I claim that I eat every
day
and Reggie will no longer ask people
questions that aren't the least bit
apropos
what is the nature of time
as always
night
thanks for watching
it's our show
that's our show that producers directors
designers the ones who set the lights
and answer phones and do the edit
writing sketches working cameras
building Graphics making costumes
booking Talent mixing sound and never
getting any credit our show was a
creation of the love and dedication
shared by everyone here in the crew
I'm grateful for the eight years I spent
with them
and the eight years I spent here with
you
as the end of the show Fast approaches
gaze at the studio floor
we filled it with thousands of moments
of joy and now there won't be any more
yet I know as I look in the camera
for the very last time as your host
that each of those thousands of moments
of Joy it's the one I'll remember the
most
and part of me thinks why not stay here
forever but deep in my heart I just know
almost shows to be showing
time I was going
it's time
[Music]
thanks for watching
that's our show

everybody I will miss you good night
