Citizens of #ThisTown were among the pop culture illuminati sending off faux conservative blowhard Stephen Colbert on the final episode of “The Colbert Report,” all to a resounding singalong of “We’ll Meet Again.”  

Along with longtime collaborator Jon Stewart and the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jeff Tweedy, Cookie Monster and the dragon Smaug from “The Hobbit,” the chorus of well-wishers included:  

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.  

Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo.

So much fun to be part of amazing group asked by @StephenAtHome to sing him off his last show.Gonna miss that jerk. pic.twitter.com/f5HlbyPJrP

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, D-D.C.  

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and ex-Gov. Mike Huckabee  

Anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist

I met the great @willienelson tonight during @StephenAtHome taping. Told him I was a huge fan. He looked up at me and said “Yes you are.”
