Long time Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert bid fond adieu to his "The Colbert Report" show Thursday night with a huge finale number that included tens of big time cameos from former President Bill Clinton to Physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Here's a breakdown of everyone who made it into the final number.

Watch the video and see how many big names from politics, TV and the movies you can spot. And then go here to see GIFs of everyone who appeared in Colbert's long goodbye.

In addition to Clinton and Tyson, the list includes WIllie Nelson, Big Bird, Tom Brokaw, Cindy Lauper, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Barry Manilow, Elijah Wood, Henry Kissinger, US soldiers serving in Afghanistan, JJ Abrams and many more.

You may not agree with his politics, but to me Colbert always dealt with his topics with a tremendous amount of humanity, and I think he will take that to his new job succeeding David Letterman on CBS' The Late Show.
