The Last Laugh: Stephen Colbert

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has sat at the center of late night, where comedy, politics and culture collide. As he prepares to take the desk for the final time, The Last Laugh turns its lens on both the show and the man, exploring what audiences stand to lose when one of satire’s sharpest and most thoughtful voices signs off. The hour also examines the broader cultural and political forces surrounding the end of Colbert’s late-night run and the future of outspoken comedy in an evolving landscape. Anchoring the hour is a dynamic lineup of interviewees spanning comedy, journalism and cultural criticism. The special features appearances from CNN Anchor and Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper and comedians Jordan Carlos and Gianmarco Soresi, alongside key creative voices from The Colbert Report including Allison Silverman and Richard Dahm, each offering insight into the scope and lasting influence of Colbert’s work.

Call Me Lucky

An inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of one of comedy’s most enigmatic and important figures, CALL ME LUCKY tells the story of Barry Crimmins, a beer-swilling, politically outspoken and whip-smart comic whose efforts in the 70s and 80s fostered the talents of the next generation of standup comedians. But beneath Crimmins’ gruff, hard-drinking, curmudgeonly persona lay an undercurrent of rage stemming from his long-suppressed and horrific abuse as a child – a rage that eventually found its way out of the comedy clubs and television shows and into the political arena.
