Videos of Stephen Colbert Dancing To House of Pain's ‘Jump Around' at His Wrap Party Are Going Viral
We love a '90s hip hop classic, but it turns out Stephen Colbert does too.
The beloved host of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, 62, took to the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City on Thursday for the last time. But after the cameras were off, the comedian got the festivities going with a wild afterparty that was filled with celebrity guests. But in a fun twist, one of the most news-making stories out of the big night is the hilarious videos of Colbert dancing his pants off to classic hits. One of the funniest ones is Colbert getting down to the 1992 House of Pain classic "Jump Around." With a drink in one hand and his other hand in the air, the star had the time of his life dancing it out with his friends and colleagues. In the second video, you can see him having a makeshift dance-off with none other than Bette Midlerto Outkast's "Hey Ya." In the third, he gets down with his wife, Evie.

What's Next for Stephen Colbert After His Late Night Show?
Colbert has some exciting plans on the docket. He'll be co-writing a Lord of the Rings movie with director Peter Jackson, who recently told Variety that Colbert pitched the script before The Late Show was cancelled.
"This has been years I've been thinking about it," Colbert told PEOPLE. "I've been working on it with my son since COVID actually, and then working on it with Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh for almost two years now. So that wasn't a post-show idea."
Colbert added that he has mostly been focused on ending the show on a high note. From there, he'll see where the wind takes him.
"We'll land this plane and we'll check out the view from there," he added.
