Stephen Colbert, former host of "The Late Show," is helping raise money for the Michigan nonprofit Monroe Community Media after appearing​ on a broadcast of the organization's community access program "Only in Monroe" earlier this month.

Proceeds will benefit Monroe Community Media, the local media nonprofit that produces 'Only in Monroe.'

CBS and Paramount backed away from copyright challenges to limit distribution of Stephen Colbert's appearance on a Michigan cable access show. He ended his run as host of "The Late Show" on Thursday.

Stephen Colbert hosted "The Late Show" for the final time Thursday night as the franchise came to an end after 33 years.

On Friday, Stephen Colbert returned to the airwaves 23 hours after the end of The Late Show, hosting a delightful, full-length episode of Only In Monroe, a local access show based in Monroe, Michigan.

Now that CBS' long-running late night franchise has wrapped, take a look back at the memorable comedic bits, interviews and raw emotional reactions to historic events from the past decade.

Not only was this audience significantly down on Colbert’s performance, it was also well behind the late night shows that are still on the air. NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon attracted 1.5 million viewers on Friday, while 1.6 million people watched Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC despite the episode being a rerun.

Donald Trump is not letting Stephen Colbert leave late night quietly. Colbert’s final episode of ‘The Late Show’ is set to air Thursday night, ending CBS’ long-running late-night franchise after 33 years.
