Watch Stephen Colbert's Star-Studded Musical Send-Off from Final Episode of 'Colbert Report'

Last night, though we didn't say goodbye to Stephen Colbert the actor, we did have to say goodbye to Stephen Colbert the character...perhaps one of the greatest comedic characters in TV history.

"The Colbert Report" aired its final episode last night, as Colbert is set to take over for David Letterman as the new late night host on CBS starting in the new year. On last night's final show, Colbert got a send-off fitting of his character's...let's call it "self-confidence."

Colbert launched into a hopeful version of "We'll Meet Again," hinting to fans that this isn't the last they'll see of Colbert's conservative pundit character. Joining Colbert in the song was a veritable crowd of celebrities and politicians, including Patrick Stewart, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, James Franco, Big Bird and many others, including of course "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart.

Though it wasn't the final moment of the show itself (that was reserved for a sleigh ride with Santa, a vaping Abraham Lincoln and "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek), it was Colbert's final moments on the Colbert Report stage. Everything past that point was a taped segment.

For as long as it's up, you can watch that final musical number in the video below:
