\n\tEven though it\u2019s bittersweet for Stephen Colbert as he nears the end of The Late Show<\/em>, Jon Stewart quite literally lifted the host\u2019s spirits on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring Stewart\u2019s visit to the CBS late night talk show for his final guest appearance, he brought Colbert a gift, previewing the host\u2019s new life once The Late Show<\/em> ends on May 21.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEverybody has been coming up with a bit to sort of end their thing. They sang you a song. They wrote you a poem. They did all that. I am not talented, so I\u2019m not doing any of that,\u201d The Daily Show<\/em> host quipped.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou deserve something tangible, something that you have earned. You deserve a gift that befits the sacrifice and work that you have put into this show, and that can show you the life you can lead and the life that I am leading now that I\u2019m not really in show business,\u201d Stewart said, as crewmembers rolled out two recliners. \u201cMy man. You\u2019re gonna enjoy watching Matlock<\/em> in this motherfucker.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHowever, the surprise didn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe thing about these chairs is as you get comfortable in them, you start to think to yourself, \u2018Am I going to have to expend energy to get out of it?’\u201d Stewart said as they both lay back in the chairs. No need to fear, though, because he had a solution.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cStephen, get ready for the ride of your fucking life,\u201d The Daily Show<\/em> host quipped, as the duo pressed a button on the chairs that started lifting them up. \u201cPress the up button. Press the up button. Press it. Press it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut the moment was still missing something, as Stewart admitted that \u201chis tribute isn\u2019t complete\u201d without a special performance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cStephen, this tribute doesn\u2019t represent the joy that you brought to me as my friend and the joy that you\u2019ve brought to this country as one of its leading entertainers,\u201d he said. \u201cNo, what this moment needs is something so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s when Andra Day walked out on the stage, leaving Colbert pleasantly surprised. She sang her hit song \u201cRise Up,\u201d which was perfect for the moment as the pair ascended together in their recliners, holding hands.<\/p>\n

\n\tColbert and Stewart have been close friends for nearly 30 years since Colbert joined The Daily Show<\/em> in 1997. Then, when Colbert became the host of The Late Show<\/em> in 2015, Stewart made frequent guest appearances, even performing in surprise sketches over the years.<\/p>\n

\n\tSteven Spielberg also made an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert <\/em>on Tuesday. The show\u2019s final episode airs Thursday.<\/p>\n
