The final episode of the Colbert Report aired yesterday, and it included the above celebrity-filled song.
Among those in studio to celebrate Stephen Colbert were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Randy Newman, Jon Nelson, Willie Nelson, Bryan Cranston, Tom Brokaw, Katie Couric, George Lucas, Big Bird, Keith Olbermann, James Franco, Gloria Steinem, Jeff Daniels, Charlie Rose, Barry Manilow, Alan Alda, , Bill de Blasio, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Cyndi Lauper, Ken Burns, Toby Keith and Henry Kissinger.
And Mark Cuban.
You can see the Mavericks owner in the back from 5:11-5:20 in the video.
Why didn’t he finagle his way to the front? Because he no longer cares about getting attention? Maybe because he was busy.
Olbermann:
From #Colbert Farewell: @MarkCuban finalized Rondo deal in green room, sitting w/Waterston, Daniels, me + dismaying UN Amb. Samantha Power

Cuban had his priorities in line. Trading for Rajon Rondo makes the Mavericks a stronger championship contender.
To Cuban’s credit, this didn’t become a repeat of 2012, when he prioritized filming Shark Tank over meeting with free agent Deron Williams.
