It’s been two months since we watched Stephen Colbert’s final episode of The Late Show, and the comedian has largely been laying low during this time. Whether he’s been focusing on that Lord of the Rings script or just enjoying not being part of the national conversation anymore is unknown, but his Instagram account has remained stagnant since then. That is, until now.
Stephen Colbert’s late-night presence has been missed, if not by CBS, which is now getting beat by the Jimmys in the ratings, then definitely by his fans. I know I've missed his reactions to the Knicks’ NBA championship and other events recently. There was one big day, though, that Colbert couldn’t let pass without some public recognition, as he broke his social media silence with an adorable post.
