welcome back now I've been thinking for a while the last few weeks about what I was going to say as we come to the end of the show after this wonderful adventure and I have uh if I wanted to I've I've struggled at times I've I've struggled to find the words to sum up what this past eight years has meant to me it is almost impossible I frankly I don't know where to start but I sit here now today with nothing but love gratitude and pride this show is everything it is everything I ever wanted it to be and uh I've got to tell you if you like this show and you're tuned in here in the middle of the night or online I cannot stress enough that I am just one part of a big team who make this show this incredible family here
who have made The Late Show and so many of our team here they started this show on day one and here we are 1200 shows later and I would like to take this moment to thank each and every one of you who works on this show from the bottom of my heart for the love and the dedication that you have given to making this show what it is today I love every single one of you I will forever be in your corner always I told you last night this was never my show it was ours and I'm gonna miss every single don't this time I'm gonna miss every single one of you so much I wanna if you let me I want to say uh a huge thank you to Reggie in the band um when Reggie said that he'd come and he'd join the show it changed
everything for me it really did it changed it was the first time that I thought we might actually be able to do something new and fresh and I love you so much man I love you I thank you for taking a leap with me on this and for putting together this unbelievable band to Hagar Guillermo Tim and Steve I could never have imagined it would have been this great and over the past few years Ian you were I can't look at you while I say this if that's all right you Ian you were the second writer that we hired on this show and from the minute we met I was like I think I've just met the funniest person I will ever meet in my life and you have never ever let me down and I'm so lucky that you and Lauren are the head writers here because
both of you your work your dedication your precision and your skill has been incredible and I can't thank you both enough um we are very lucky to be on a network like CBS I cannot express how fantastic they have been with me from day one it's unfathomable why they took a chance on me to do this job I will never understand it but they have supported and they have loved this show and I will be forever grateful for what they've done for me and my family it's been uh it's been life-changing it really has because moving here to America eight years ago it was a huge leap for me my family my son was three her daughter was 12 weeks old and we now have another small person and she's American yeah we uh you know we started this show we started
with Obama then Trump then a global pandemic and I've watched America change a lot over these past few years I've watched divisions grow and I've seen and I've felt a sense of negativity bubble and it points boil over and I guess all I really want to say tonight is I implore you to remember what America signifies to the rest of the world my entire life it has always been a place of optimism and joy and yes it has flaws so many but show me a country that doesn't show me a person that doesn't me you all of us we are all trying to figure this out we are every single one of us a work in progress and just because somebody disagrees with you it doesn't make them bad or evil we are all more the same than we are
different and there are so many people who are trying to stoke those differences and we have to try as best we can to look for the light look for the joy because if you do it's out there and that's all this show has ever been about all we've ever wanted is just be a little bit of light and levity at the end of your day thank you for letting me do this thank you for letting me into your home every night I've never taken for granted what an absolute privilege this has been now look when we come back you are gonna be absolutely shocked at how we are going to end this show guess what we're going to end with a song I know what are the chances come on back everybody
now the last guest has gone from the Green Room and our last conversation is done the final rehearsal is over and the final commercial has run no more late Tinder for swiping no more torturous games for a laugh no more risking my life on a fighter jet or learning too much about our staff squeezing myself into Spanx every night for 1200 times in a row so good night thanks for watching that's our show lost karaoke's been coupled and we all came along for the right the Lost spill your Cuts has been swallowed and I'm still feeling nauseous inside and soon I will head home to London but I'll sure miss it here in L.A the weather my friends and those micro
green salads I claim that I eat every day and Reggie will no longer ask people questions that aren't the least bit apropos as always night thanks for watching it's our show that's our show that producers directors designers the ones who set the lights and answer phones and do the edit writing sketches working cameras building Graphics making costumes booking Talent mixing sound and never getting any credit our show was a creation of the love and dedication shared by everyone here in the crew I'm grateful for the eight years I spent with them and the eight years I spent here with you as the end of the show Fast approaches gaze at the studio floor we filled it with thousands of moments of joy and now there won't be any more
yet I know as I look in the camera for the very last time as your host that each of those thousands of moments of Joy it's the one I'll remember the most and part of me thinks why not stay here forever but deep in my heart I just know almost shows to be showing time I was going it's time thanks for watching that's our show thank you so much for your time everybody I will miss you good night foreign
