Tonight, the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will air on CBS. The talk show, which has been running since 1993, was previously hosted by David Letterman. The network cancelled the show in July.

Today, Explained host Sean Rameswaram asks former late night host and comedian Larry Wilmore.
