Stephen Colbert, Gayle King, Billy Eichner at THR NY Media Power Party

Published by Daniella Wilson

Just two weeks before he hosts his final episode of CBS’ Late Show, The Hollywood Reporter cover star Stephen Colbert was the toast of the evening at THR‘s Most Powerful People in New York Media party, presented by History Channel, at Daniel Boulud’s Daniel Thursday night in Manhattan. Colbert hugged his colleague Gayle King shortly after both arrived. As King posed for photos on the red carpet, Colbert jumped in and joined her for a couple of playful shots. Later he posed solo, flashing some of his best male model-like stares, before he was spotted chatting with other guests near the bar and then making his way into the main party room. There he held court and could be seen deep in conversation with Rita Wilson as well as catching up with Andy Cohen, THR editor-in-chief Maer Roshan and Boulud, with whom Colbert had an appropriately warm moment with near the fondue station.

The reporter later learned that the location of Banksy’s new artwork would be at Lower Manhattan’s The Houston Bowery Wall, a well-established outdoor mural space known for showcasing international street art by renowned artists. “Our bureau in Lower Manhattan was not far away.
