The Late Show With Stephen Colbert<\/a>\u00a0has revealed some of the guests that will visit during the show\u2019s final week on the air.<\/p>\n

While some surprise guests will appear throughout the week, The Late Show announced<\/a> Friday that the Tuesday, May 19 episode will feature interviews with Steven Spielberg and Colbert\u2019s Daily Show cohort Jon Stewart<\/a>, as well as a performance by David Byrne<\/a> with Colbert.<\/p>\n

The Wednesday, May 20 episode will include a performance by Bruce Springsteen<\/a> as well as appearances by special guests, with Colbert also answering his own \u201cThe Colbert Questionert\u201d for the first time.<\/p>\n

Details of the series finale on Thursday, May 21 have not yet been revealed. The Monday, May 18 episode is currently guest-less, with Colbert opting to revisit \u201cThe Worst\u201d of The Late Show, although the episode is \u201cnot a clip show!\u201d<\/p>\n

As previously reported, the other late-night shows will cede the spotlight to The Late Show on Colbert\u2019s final night, with both Jimmy Fallon<\/a> and Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> airing repeats on May 21.<\/p>\n

The Late Show has ramped up the star power in Colbert\u2019s closing weeks, with guests including Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and original host David Letterman, who returned to toss CBS property off the Ed Sullivan Theater roof<\/a>. Recent musical guests include the Strokes, Michael Stipe<\/a>, Chris Stapleton, and Foo Fighters<\/a>, who previously served as the final musical guest of Letterman\u2019s Late Show.<\/p>\n
