Stephen Colbert — in character — crashed The Daily Show last night to announce that he’s ending The Colbert Report after it had become clear to him that “he’d won television.”

“Nine years ago, we promised to change the world, and together, I did it.” He also said that Letterman’s being replaced by “some fat guy.”

I’m really going to miss that character.

After The Daily Show, Colbert also pledged his allegiance to HYDRA on The Colbert Report. I KNEW IT. I think I may root for HYDRA now.
