Jimmy Fallon Sings a Special Version of “My Way” for Stephen Colbert

Jimmy Fallon Bids Farewell to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show

In a heartfelt visit last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon honored his colleague as Colbert prepares to conclude his tenure as host. Fallon presented Colbert with a unique gift—a painting depicting Colbert and his dog setting sail on a boat, symbolizing new adventures ahead.

The highlight of the evening was Fallon’s musical tribute, where he performed a reimagined rendition of Frank Sinatra’s classic, “My Way,” specifically tailored to celebrate Colbert.

The performance began with poignant lyrics:

“And now, the end is near
And so you face the final curtain.
But Trump, he made it clear
he wants you gone, of that we’re certain.”

Colbert’s departure from his self-titled CBS talk show is set for Thursday, May 21. The two hosts shared a light-hearted moment, standing atop Colbert’s desk as Fallon concluded with a humorous suggestion for Colbert to consider a presidential run in 2028.

Sophistically crafted, the lyrics continued:

“You’ve been a gracious host
We’ve loved you since the old Report days.
And more, much more than this
you did it your way.

“CBS, they said you’re through
and now it’s down to just two Jimmys.
But wait, before you go, can I please have
one of your Emmys?

“Oh now, what will you do?
Dance with the stars? Or move to Norway?
In ’28, you’d have our vote
you did it your way.”

As Fallon bids farewell, the camaraderie and mutual respect between the two late-night hosts shine through, highlighting a significant moment in television history.
