Stephen Colbert's Late Show aired its final episode tonight, ending a decade-long run that cost CBS roughly $40 million a year and alienated half the country. Bridget Phetasy breaks down how Trump derangement syndrome turned late night television from a unifying institution into a smug resistance rally — and why no one is actually sad to see it go. Also: the case for Dumpster Fire to fill the slot.
