Midler Gushes Over Colbert: 'I Would Not Have Made it Through Without You'

Actress Bette Midler traveled over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday to pay tribute to the eponymous host as he winds down his show. While Midler avoided wishing a plague on Colbert’s bosses, she did gush over him in the form of a song that included several references to Colbert’s Lord of the Rings fandom as well as President Trump’s backside.

Colbert began by noticing Midler brought a rolled-up piece of paper with her, “Thank you so much for being here. Did you bring your diploma?”

Midler immediately swooned, “Well, it's not my diploma. It's yours. I want to beg you, don't go. Don't go. Don’t go. Don't go.”
