Yeah, well, you know, one thing I'd point out, Georgia, is that this is actually bigger than Colbert because this isn't just the last episode of his show.
It's also the last episode of The Late Show, which started under David Letterman and has run for 33 years.
So this really does feel like the end of an era.
And I think there's a couple of factors that we really need to look at here.
And of course, the big one is politics.
So like Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert's show evolved into something, I would say, much closer to nightly political commentary than to the traditional kind of late night entertainment that we expected from people like Johnny Carson and Jay Leno.
So starting under the first Trump administration, left-wing and anti-Trump monologues kind of became Colbert's stock in trade.
