When "The Colbert Report" ends on December 18, not only will America lose one of its best and longest running comedy programs. We'll also lose one of the most impressive one-two punches in the history of late-night TV. There was nothing quite like finishing an episode of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," and knowing we'd immediately be treated to another half-hour of pitch-perfect satire.
Once "The Report" goes off the air for the last time next week, Colbert's time slot will be inherited by the very capable Larry Wilmore. Nonetheless, we'll still miss what we once had in the indomitable duo of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.

And here's part two:
Colbert says goodbye to Stewart on "The Daily Show":

But he definitely had Colbert's back in a fight vs. Conan:
Here's the ass kicking:
This classic "toss" -- or moment between their two shows -- pretty much sums it up:
