Every night, viewers can expect: Comedy, humor, funny moments, witty interviews, celebrities, famous people, movie stars, bits, humorous celebrities doing bits, funny celebs, big group photos of every star from Hollywood, even the reclusive ones, plus also jokes.
Paul returning to the stage was really something special. It put a giant smile on my face. Huge props to Stephen for paying homage to one of the greats.
Joel Martinez You right, now I want the bearded one....
AHHHHH THEY PLAYED THE LETTERMAN THEME
socrappyicoulddie #Respect #Goldendays
socrappyicoulddie Smooth asf.
Damn i miss that theme song
Karl "Tonight!"
Paul, Ed McMahon, and Doc Severinsen will always be the best late night side kicks. On the older show, Paul had a lot more comedy bits and was absolutely hilarious.
Never realized how much I miss the theme from Late Show with Letterman.. sound of my life growing up!
I remember the first night. All the lights turning off over Manhatten, but a light on in the window at 30 Rock...
I've got so much respect for Paul Shaffer. Here's why. As a leader of my own house bands for 25+ years, I always came home to my VCR to watch the master at work. Learning new material every week and playing the same room is much harder than going on tour and playing the same set in a different place every night. If you learn 3 songs a week do the math on that. That's an insane workload. The stress of remembering that much yet playing it perfect right away isn't all bad for musicians. It sure is a teacher. So, there are hand signals as to which chord, which key, and when to start and stop on a dime. I'm from Augusta home of James Brown. You'd better be tight doing that plus Elvis shows which are ALL about watching the hips, hands and generally having ESP so you can read "Elvis's" mind (since that seems to be a requirement!) Will and Anton prove your only as good as your rhythm section. So many lessons. Anyway I hope Paul understands that his contribution to American culture is as great as any artist with radio play. All this to say, someone, PLEASE show this to PAUL! :)
You know where Paul got his start, right? The famous Toronto production of Godspell that had so many of the later SNL cast members. Gilda Radner, Andrea Martin, Martin Short. Paul was the music director. All the good ones come from Toronto! I hope he comes to Halifax for the jazz festival. Bring Jon and Stephen and Michael Buble along too. So they can do a version of Barrett's Privateers IN Halifax! ON the pier!
And James Brown played the Metro Center here. I will never forget that show.
That's why they're at the top - freak talent, can do anything, learn it fast and execute at a polished level. Paul to me on TV was always so incredibly relaxed and low key - really suited the timeslot with viewers going to bed.
33 years and never knew they had that awesome ceiling hiding up there.
ALH84001 he knew they had it they just covered it uo
Only 22 of them were at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The first 11 years were at a network that uses a peacock for a logo. Most of that time, they were on after Johnny Carson. When he left for CBS, he was replaced by Conan O'Brien.
@@bluebear1985 "Only" 22 years...!
@@michaelrmurphy2734 I get you but yes . . . 22 is a lot less than 33 so only 22 out of 33. If you have 33 payments to make and lose count, the loan company will tell you you've only paid 22. That's my take.
Paul Shaffer and the CBS orchestraaaaaah!
mcrazza Back in the 80s till 92/93 when Paul Schafer and David Letterman were on NBC doing "Late Night With David Letterman" (the show Seth Meyers does now), the band was called "The World's Most Dangerous Band" at the time. Just a little trivia FYI to throw out there.
:(
GOAT of all late night bandleaders
Mig1997 Weinberg Conan O'Briens was pretty good as well
What?
That suit jacket is Deus Ex as fuck, I love it.
I wonder if when he went to buy it he asked for it.
Letterman's theme song.... i'm not crying, you are
I was on vacation in New York (I'm from the Netherlands) and walked past the Ed Sullivan theater When I saw Paul standing outside, sipping his Coke. A few guys walked up to him, said "I love your show man" and walked further. I didn't have the nerve to do that too, being the foreigner who's not used to seeing that.
OH THIS WANT TO MAKE ME CRY SO BAD .. I MISS HIM ALREADY.. THAT THEME SONG WON A GRAMMY AWARD !!
This was really great, I hope we will one day see Dave on the show too. I know he's very reluctant to go, but it would be so great to see him back in that theater.
Dave came back for the 40th annivesary of Late Night on Seth's show.
Beautiful cover of the Letterman theme by Jon and Stay Human! Great to see Paul Schaefer again! What a great idea Stephen.
Here I am a grown man with a giant smile. I miss letterman and Paul so much.
I miss Paul and Don Rickles going back and fourth 😂😂
It was exciting to see Paul Schaefer and Valerie Simpson in NYC at the BB King Jazz Club. Valerie Simpson was awesome!!!!
The only thing better than Paul Schafer back is David Letterman back!
AND THEY PLAYED DAVE'S THEME!!! I'M SO HAPPY!
When is Daaaaaavvviiiiiiiddd Letterman gonna make his return to the Ed Sullivan theater?
My guess is never. Although I hope I'm wrong.
He mentioned in an interview right before his retirement that he doesn't plan on coming back to the theater.
Christopher Thomas That's too bad.
have you heard his last episode intro he retired
Never.
I'm a classical music lover and I heard bits of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata movement.2 and Bach's several pieces when Jon plays. It's nice to hear Paul say the same thing!
he looks like a futuristic Elmer fudd
I was listening to Letterman's theme all day yesterday and then Paul Shaffer returned!
Paul is a tremendous talent
PAUL SHAFFER!!!!!!! Now I need Letterman. Then I need both.
I couldn't stop smiling (and was sad at the same time) when Paul came out and they played the Letterman theme. Also, I hope Shaffer gives Jon Batiste some tips on being the bandleader/side/guy. Because GOD, he's painfully unfunny.
Bring Letterman on as a guest.
Paul Shaffer is the fucking man!
Paul Shaffer is from my hometown, Thunder Bay.
That clanging collection of bones on The Masked Singer turned out to be Paul Shaffer, music impresario and former music director for David Letterman on Late Show with David Letterman. www.dianjinwa.cn/video/53108.html
I want a jazz album with Paul Shaffer on keys, Kevin Eubanks on guitar and Max Weinberg on drums. Make it happen.
Paul Shaffer was a great sidekick. Really funny.
I miss letterman!
Legend
This have been a double-guest scene with Paul Shaffer AND David Letterman
I see Paul's all suited up for a Game Of Thrones cameo...
They were awesome shades in Game of Thrones? Damn, now I really do need to watch it.
what a lovely interview
AWWWW-SOME! Interview!
Awesome!😎
Paul Shaffer- keyboards
Felicia Collins- guitar
Sid McGinnis- guitar
Will Lee- bass
Anton Fig-drums
Tom Malone- trombone
Frank Greene- trumpet
Aaron Heick- saxophone
Those are some grooooovy sunglasses, man! Miss ya, Paul!
JW3HH
When will David Letterman be a guest on Colbert's time? How come Kimmel had the interview?
Remember "Doc's" wild w/style jackets - then Paul's fab jazzy style - and now the amazing Jon Baptist just kills it with his knockout suits (made from the hands of the gods themselves)!
Keep em coming Jon!
Paul was perfect with Bill Murray on SNL.
Paul actually has no eyes
yes he has but he puts classes on so peeps dont see that
I didn't watch Letterman but still the gravitas of this is too much! I've watched this 5 times already!
Paul got the band back together. they are on tour around the country.
Obviously he is on a mission from God. Just ask Jake & Elwood.
Driving the big Dodge ex PD cars I hope!
Paul needs to be musical director for Little Richard tribute
Maybe it's because I love awkward humor but whenever the guys interrupt on these shows- I always think its funny! Nice to see Shaffer back on the show too
He is also a Blues Brother.
PAUL!!!
Paul shaffer is very big in Kazakhstan
At the end of this video when Colbert goes to commercial is the first time ever that Paul was NOT playing with his band while on stage during a commercial break while being on stage at that Ed Sullivan Theater. That must have felt really strange to him.
Of course the band NAILED it!
Still waiting for the Letterman interview comeback
My comment aged patiently. Welcome back Dave 🩷
3:33 that laugh
I wonder if they figured out how to heat the Ed Sullivan Theatre after Dave & Paul left....
Say what you want about Paul as a sidekick, comic, whatever; look at his work for the rock hall, almost any awards show, and tons of songs , fucker is an unqualified legend
Paul has a separate house just for all his glasses. Yes, a whole separate house.
Legend.
like Paul!
Hellraiser Cenobite or funky Lowly Worm?
Paul is of course in This Is Spinal Tap, one of the funniest movies ever made. Buy a copy now before the pending lawsuit between Vivendi and the writers-director makes the film harder to view than a Season 4 Patrick Troughton Doctor Who episode.
I hope Dave Appears on Colbert.
He might, because Late Show will celebrate its 30th anniversary this coming August 2023.
He just did 🥹
I always thought noodling was a guitar thing! Love it #PianoBestInstrument
he reminds me a little bit of Artie Fufkin Polymer Records
Paul looks like he is flight ready to pilot a biplane at a moment's notice!
The Late Night Show with Paul Shaffer
I miss Dave.
David and Paul had better chemistry than Johnny and Ed. I miss seeing them together.
I just don't think Stephen & Jon have any chemistry together.
None. And I'd give Jon some credit if he was at least a funny guy, but he's not. All he does is say, "yeah" over and over and laugh really obnoxiously. I'm sure he's a nice guy, and obviously a good musician, but man...he'll never be as good as Shaffer with Letterman.
Bro, Shaffer was weak in the first few years of Late Night. Give Batiste time.
I'm not saying he is a bad musician, just that Steven and he don't have chemistry together. Stephen is a one man show, he can do a 1 hour monologue and I'll still watch it, but if there is no chemistry in the beginning, it aint going to be there no matter how many times they go to New Orleans together.
I'm not talking about musical abilities either, I'm talking about chemistry. Shaffer was nervous and quiet and awkward in the first few years of Letterman. Their chemistry developed over time.
NOPE.
Imagine if the Shafer pulled a Leno on Babtist
sentences!
I used to hate Shaffer's interruptions, then I met Batiste.
G.W. Paul was annoying even after 30 years. Jon's been there two years and it's still annoying. It's almost like "pissing off the viewer" is in the job description.
OH LOOORRRDIIEEE.
Stimulator7 I feel you man, so am I. I find him full of flavour. COOOOLD BLOOOODED
*COOOOOOLD-BLOOOOOODED*
Seriously... i long for the days of Letterman and Paul interrupting. Batiste makes my blood pressure rise...
Conan's a family man.
Isn't this guy a godhand? Guts is gonna kick his ass.
Erick Linhares I understood that reference.
Guts is going to go Berserk...
Not yet; the series just went on hiatus again.
Please take over from Jon Batiste. PLEASE!!!!
STEPHEN COLBERT
I had to go back to check the video, but I think you're right, I think that's Stephen Colbert!
DAVID LETTERMAN VS STEPHEN COLEBERT
Do you call a sidekick a "sidekick" to their face?
PAUL drums, John KICKS! Im' glad Paul is last on the show, John is way funnier. He's not as cool as Conan's sidekick tho.
Paul Shaffer and Martin Short were not the first great Canadian performers to be in that space.
Wayne and Shuster who Ed Sullivan loved were there many times. And if you DON'T know who Wayne and Shuster were!
You're EVIL!!!! You may have heard of Frank Shuster's ex son-in-law. He has that other show, what is it? Saturday Night Live?!
Wayne & Shuster performed there? Wow!
@@seanwebb605 Yep. The Ed Sullivan theater. First David Letterman, now Stephen Colbert in that space.
"Now, now, paul...."
He can’t hold a match to Dave and Paul.
He ruined it actually
HERMES!!!!
He has to be like, 100 years old. At least. There's nothing wrong with that.
was he hermes from disney's hercules?
Trinna Oquialda YEP!!! Best part was that character had the glasses and everything. It was basically him but blue XD
play looks like a old man robot
I don't like that lame version of Letterman's theme song.
It's OK. Some of us don't like Paul's lame version/singing of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." It was painful to hear.
brillopad20 I agree, especially the "singing".
Lol. My exact sentiment.
He's gone completely Dick Knubbler!
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! I'M BACK AS A GUEST!!
Has Letterman been on Stephen's show?
Well no Stephen the theme sounded shit, cos the drummer stuffed it up
_Who??_
Man, he was in a hurry to get back to the future
Who would know Paul could actually speak?!
Colbert is very boring compared to Letterman , very boring compared with any talkshow host really .
Does he have eyeballs?
Legend says his eyes are blue and can see the musical notes.
Think about the massive overhead costs involved with the Late Show. Then compare the Late Show's ratings with many of the popular CZcamsrs who have virtually zero overhad costs. At some point, advertisers will realize just how shitty and obsolete this show has become. Stop glorifying these late night tv shows. They arent even relevant anymore.
Uhh.....ya got any gum?
