Stephen Colbert celebrated a bittersweet milestone on Monday, September 8, which marked his 10th year as the host of the recently canceled The Late Show.
Colbert opened Monday’s episode of the CBS talk show with a cold open starring Julianne Moore. The Oscar winner played his wife in a skit in which the comedian quipped that he had dreamed he was the host of a network late-night talk show for the past 10 years.

In his opening monologue, Colbert, 61, pulled no punches as he addressed The Late Show’s anniversary and its impending cancellation.
