Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer and writer of THE LATE SHOW on Sept. 8, 2015. - Zábava
And to know Stephen Colbert had a burst appendix WHILE doing this interview. Simply amazing. On the part of both actors!
Steven said he kept it from both guest that night. Bradley didn't know.
I woulda been in the fetal position, guy is built showbiz tough
I know I had to go find this interview to see if there was any evidence of his appendix situation while he was doing this because I know this was one of the moments that might where he was in BAD shape... to think he almost died...
The pain stops after it bursts. The bacteria flooding your system is painless.
Thanks for your comment. I just watched the interview with John Oliver where he talks about this interview. I missed it originally so I came here to see it.
It’s shocking to now know that Stephen stayed with this interview with a ruptured appendix yet was so masterfully engaged.
Knowing Colbert was in agony while doing this interview makes it even better. He's an amazing host.
Thanks so much for your support
Kudos to Steven Colbert for keeping his shit together while he was in excruciating pain during the taping of this interview. Did he know that his pain was caused by his appendix, which had already burst while he was taping this interview.
Sometimes Colbert reaches the heights of the great talk show hosts, especially if he's truly interested in what a guest has to say. This is one of those.
What? He interrupted Cooper and talked over the top of him. Bradley is an intellectual and very polite, but if Colbert let him finish his thoughts the interview would have been a lot better. 😳
@@Rubylove48 Yup, true!
I agree! Worst interviewing ever. Cmon Colbert!!! You can do much better than this!!!
I turned it off less than half way through because of Colbert talking over his guest.
I wish he had more time to discuss this movie
Give Stephen the Emmy for this interview! He’s brilliant 🎉❤
It’s seven minutes…
That’ll go to Howard sterns Springsteen interview
And he was having an appendix burst crisis that sent him to the ER shortly after.(!)
The way Stephen speaks with such speed and urgency speaks to his immense love for Bernstein and respect for Cooper.
And his immense need for emergency surgery
That Candide quote by the band was a nice touch. 🎉
I was a faithful watcher of the Young People’s Concerts program when I was a kid. It’s tragic that there is nothing like it on broadcast television now.
I'm an elementary music teacher and I model my lessons after his Young People's concerts!
I thought Leonard Bernstein was a very well known figure, did I understood correctly that only 2% of people on a coffee shop would recognize the name?@@MrWelfle
Bradley cooper is so humble, he always gives props to his co-artists and takes back stage for them to shine. He’s such an amazing human.
Well that is only the decent thing to do...film making and acting ARE collaborative.
@@anmnouagreed. Any sniveling appreciation of a star that somehow does the obvious causes me to do an eye roll. 🙄😉
He’s a king!!
Not a big movie person but have to admire any performer that spends 6 years to prepare for a 6 minute segment in a film .
I know very little about Bernstein. I look forward to watching this movie.
I know someone who’s already seen this film and said it is a masterpiece
What do you mean six minute segment? He made the whole film.
@@Rubylove48 He's not conducting in the whole film. It doesn't focus on his work from what I hear.
That’s not the point, the man, write, acted ain and directed the whole frickin film as well as conducting. It was not six years for just those six minutes it was his whole life for the whole film. ✌🏽🤡@@nancykerrigan
Six years of studying and preparing for a character. That is dedication. 😊
and that was just for Rocket Raccoon!
Mahler's music is Heavenly. His 2nd Symphony titled The Resurrection is a good example. Bradley Cooper was perfect in his portrayal of Leonard Bernstein!!!
@@Bradlycooper403 I am an American born in 1947 in San Antonio Texas. Migrated to Queensland Australia in 1982. I play timpani in my community Orchestra called The Gold Coast Philharmonic Orchestra. My favourite composer is Mahler as his music is Heavenly. The 2 last minutes of his 3rd Symphony has 2 timpanists pounding out the ending notes. I am amazed that you transitioned from the movie The Sniper to the Maestro movie . Did you get an education from the Conductor that tutored you ?
@@user-wp4ju4hp5w That’s really good 😊 thanks for your support without a fan like you I’m nothing. Well I’m very private man so I’m gonna my email so you can sent me text but though I don’t normally text anyone here but i think you deserve it
I loved those Young People’s Concerts growing up, and to this day, Bernstein, is most likely the only concert conductor most Americans have heard of. I appreciate his dedication to making this film. The physical resemblance was uncanny
I came here just to watch Stephen interviewing him with a burst appendix
Bradley is passionate about what he does and how he goes about expressing his life’s passion and purpose. His comment ( while laughing at himself) “ I was ridiculously eloquent, in my own mind”. The man exudes humility and confidence onstage and in films.
I like Bradley but he does not strike me as humble. He self described himself as having a great work ethic
Colbert’s conversations with his guests can be the most interesting and meaningful of all the late night hosts.
This was one of the really great ones. Thanks to both.
I agree. Colbert is currently tops. Especially in both wit and interviews.
I tip my hat to Louis Cato and The Late Night Band. They played Cooper on with a ‘talk show standard’, a passage from the overture to the operetta ‘Candide’.
Bravissimo.
Thank you. I recognised that tune from somewhwere, but had no idea where it came from.
@@jeffclement2468
Bernstein wrote the operetta and Dick Cavett used that passage as the theme to his show.
Someone in that band has very thorough understanding of music and talk shows.
Glitter and Be Gay
@@faithinverity8523 No doubt that's where I know it from. Watched Cavett any chance I got. Thx again.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed!!! Specifically it's from the soprano aria Glitter and be Gay, I sang that beastly thing a few times college and this arrangement is FIRE
Really hope he wins the Oscar - he really deserves it and well overdue.
Bradley looked so much like Leonard that within the first minute I was confused.
Mom spotted the Bradley while I told her that the scene was very clearly the real Leonard.
Nearly shat the couch when I recognized Bradley’s eyes.
What an amazing film. Hats off.
Didn't see this when it aired. Watching it now after Colbert explained the exquisite agony he was in that night ... it's painful.
We love bradley Cooper and Stephen colbert
Bradley Cooper often interviewed on his own in talk shows. Brilliant
As a lover of classical music, I enjoyed the heck out of last year's Tar and am excited for Maestro and American Symphony. There's just something magical about a room full of people gathered to play and listen to complex and often wordless music. Maybe it's because it hearkens back to an era before the information overload of today, or because it evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time I never lived through.
Whatever the reason, I hope movies and documentaries with music front and center keep getting made by people with passion and insight.
Well said.
The music played by the Late Night Band from 13 seconds through 29 seconds into this video while Bradley Cooper is walking on stage is Leonard Bernstein’s theme to his Opera “Candide”, but played in an Afro-Cuban-Latin-Jazz Style, a la “West Side Story”. That is so cool!
Nice to see him so relaxed. An intimate conversation of two people we were priviledged to listen to.
Yes, Lenny, you gave us, me, happiness and passion lived.
I remember watching Bradley
Cooper in 'Alias' years ago. He
has really grown as an artist. l'm
very happy to see him being
recognized for his efforts. He
deserves every accolade he
receives! Well done, Mr. Cooper!
As a straight man, Bradley Cooper is one of those guys who, when women I know drool over him, I get it ☝️
Hope to find a theater showing it now. Two extremely talented men, Leonard Bernstein And Bradley Cooper. Bradley's dedication to his craft is so immense & inspiring as an actor. His ability to change his look to any character or day to day life is amazing. Hes like a human chameleon, or perhaps a shapeshifter Lol. His talents astound me. Best of luck at the Oscars. It's your turn to be recognized for your multi talents. ❤
Love him! So humble and kind,funny and talented!
I saw Maestro with Bradley Cooper in the theater 5 months ago for a test screening. Seeing it again tomorrow, can't wait! Really enjoyed the film, hope it's just as good the 2nd time 👌🎥🍿.
This interview is exactly why Stephen Colbert is the goat. His questions are always just so perfect.
Thanks for your support
Steve was literally dying during this interview. I think he did the interview pretty well all things considered.
That makeup is seriously amazing. eat it, CGI.
Same person who did Olman's make up in Darkest Hour? I could barely see Gary Oldman but for the sparkle in his eyes. Truly transformative.
That Cooper spent YEARS working on this work is beyond impressive!! Bravo!
I knew who Leonard Bernstein was. Watched him conduct concerts. He was just so happy to work.
You've made my day Bradley.
Thanks for your support
How on earth did Stephen pull this off? I do know. I've seen performers ready to die backstage, and go on and give not only a smooth, but an incandescent performance. Running on the energy of "Damn the pain I have to do this!" I was amazed the one time I did it myself. And in a later play clapped loudly for a fellow actor who did his damndest and had to give up onstage. He apologized to everyone as the EMTs carried him off the stage but we knew he tried his very best. "The show must go on" is not just a saying it is a battle cry. And a courage filled with love. I am glad Stephen is all right.
Season’s greetings 🖖 to you my lovely fan🎉 where are you from and how long have you been my fan?
great actor, great writer, great director. this man can do it all and he seems like a good guy too. i can't wait to see this!!
And John Oliver was SPOT on saying he looked better here 😂
My late grandfather adored Leonard Bernstein. As a small child I remember my grandfather setting my brother and I in front of the T.V. to watch the Young Peoples concerts where we learned every instrument in the orchestra. I too learned Peter Wolf from Leonard Berstein.
I think as we move into a post-work world, where we are freed from "labor to survive" akin to how we were freed from "farm to survive" in the past economical revolutions, people will find "work" is not what they hated, but being forced to work on another's dreams is what they hated. Indeed, I think in a post-work society, that society will be drunk on work that stems from self and one's own dreams, and it's going to be so gorgeous to see. Actors and artists are sometimes lucky enough to be financially well off enough to give us a glimpse of this now, but soon, all of society will have this. It doesn't matter what your dream is, if it is super smol and hidden away in the forest, or an omniverse deity level dream, what matters is that it is truly yours. I will check this out, Limitless is one of my personal favorites.
Bradley Cooper: "We're both sick..."
Stephen: "Hold my beer."
Bradley is a legend.... luv from Sri Lanka
Can't wait for Maestro. This movie will get nominated for Oscars.
I've always loved Bernstein, his music, his conducting, etc. I'm thrilled Cooper made a film about him with all three of Bernstein's children giving it their blessing. I believe a large swath of the film was shot at their Connecticut home that Bernstein's children still use to this day. From the small teases I've seen, I think it looks great. I can't wait for it to come out on streaming service.
I love Bradley's work, and I've always admired Leonard Bernstein. I can't wait to see this film. The previews look AMAZING.
Love Bradley Cooper he's the best❤
What a beautiful uncontentious man he is
Do you mean unpretentious?
My friend was in the recording booth with Bernstein for that famous final concert of Beethoven 7. He said he had his oxygen mask in one hand, and a cigarette in the other. I wish I could have worked with him, looking forward to this movie.
underrated talent of our generation!
Thanks for much for your support
Bradley Cooper is amazing!
loved the movie, great cast, both Bradley and Carey deserve oscars!
That was one hell of a hug.
Nothing special. Not even longer than 3 seconds. You must not have gotten any hugs in your life.
Sad.
That was a hug of great admiration and respect you can tell as you watch this interview how much Stephen is enamored of this role and the dedication he put into it .. hugs are good medicine the best ones are even longer than this .
@@saint6563 you're trying to kid me? Big, strong guys - tough guys, with the most luscious moustaches, you know, they're constantly coming up to me - tears in their eyes - to tell me I'm the most perfect hugger.
Hugging another man while dealing with a burst appendix is absolutely crazy. Good on you Colbert
Nice Candide intro by the band !!
I admire this guy so much -everything he does to make a great movie as well as acting 👏. An hes humble- a great man 🤝 Bradley cooper.
Happy Thanksgiving Stephen Evie and Bradley (that was fun )😍
1:47 OMG "IT was only for me to {mess} up (Lady Gaga's singing)" - Bradley
Bradley cooper is perfect for this role
Bradley Cooper will be considered one of the great directors in the next 20 years.
4:52 Rocket emerges! That laugh!
Had to watch parts again to see if I could tell how much pain Colbert was in and nope!
Season’s greetings 🖖 to you my lovely fan🎉 where are you from and how long have you been my fan?
Maestro is the longest movie i'm trying to see on netflix. More than 2 hours and still on 10 minutes. Maybe until 2024 I will finish to see it. I don't even know who Maestro is but Bradley Cooper is dope ✌️
that intro music is from bernstein's candide. the first time i got to know it was as the dick cavett show theme. the second time i came across it was in a piece by mozart that was playing on the radio one day: it was the very same succession of notes but without the syncopation. i thought for sure the dcshow lifted the notes from mozart for its theme only to find out later that it was bernstein who had picked it up. so it just makes me wonder who mozart may have got it from.
Respect to papa bear for doing this with a ruptured appendix
Amazing Colbert! what can I say
This dude is just awesome
Amazing show!!! Thank you!!
❤Bradley, multitalented superstar❤Iconic❤love from Finland
I can't wait to watch this
Congratulations on all of your success and I look forward to seeing this movie x
I posted a video about Leonard Bernstein on my CZcams channel that documents what he was really doing on stage as a conductor. There's a phenomenon in the press where they pick 2 or 3 classical musicians and designate them as SACRED COWS. No matter what the sacred cows do on stage, the press refers to it as "the greatest." Bernstein was one of those sacred cows. The television appearances he did show him adding trumpets to the orchestra with Beethoven's symphonies and then when the interviewer asks him about Beethoven's ability to orchestrate, he says " IT'S BAD. He has the trumpets sticking out and they're drowning out everybody else!"
Thank you Stephen 😊
Stephen please stop interrupting your guests.
Also, I’m glad you recovered from your ruptured appendix and sepsis.
Season’s greetings 🖖 to you my lovely fan🎉 where are you from and how long have you been my fan?
A very good choice for walk-on music!
Cooper's aging like fine wine. I first saw him on screen in "Failure To Launch" and thought he was an awful actor. It's amazing how far he has come since then.
He was meant to be one dimensional as a side kick in that movie. You are misled. He was always an amazing actor and a complete cinephile. His work in limitless was amazing. Watch him on inside the actors studio, he was always into the craft but took simplistic roles to get his foot in the door to make the movies he really loves as an intellectual.
3:53 ❤
4:04 ❤
Dreaming big!
He is our clint eastwood or robert redford of this generation
Yes! That is SO true.
I use music to get comfortable and to connect to a deeper part of myself and others. Music has a healing property It's a type of art therapy one can say. 🤗
Thanks so much for your support
I love this,thank you stephen colbert. The tonight show doesnt have to just be jokes and polite banter. I love this serious beautiful talk about the making of the film and even serious talk about bradley coopers life and Leonard Bernstein.Please more of this on the tonight show. I absolutley loved it.
I have been in love Bradley, I am a Nigerian, I know we can't have anything but please tell me you love me too as a fan. I love you, beautiful man!!!!
He's a marvel. With hindsight, his hands are pale and trembling, but I don't know if I'd know something was wrong if I didn't know something was wrong.
I grew up when Bernstein was everywhere. He was in fact a genius at what he did, one of those things being womanizing. But hey, it "was the times", right?
Kazo came out of retirement to do Oldman's makeup on The Darkest Hour. Apparently he's not retired anymore.😉
That's what I thought!
Gary Oldman's Darkest Hour make up immediately came to mind.
Nice reference to Candide by the band.
Coop! 💕👏👍
"Glitter and Be Gay" as an intro, nice!
I need to talk about that latin jazz arrangement of Glitter and be Gay!! HOLY SHIT IT AMAZEBALLS
I’m all in on that Mouth Full of Bees franchise.
I've love him since Silver Linings and can't wait to see this film
That’s an amazing performance by him (and J. Lawrence) and is an underrated film.
Thanks for your beautiful comment
Cooper, the guest, says 'sorry to interrupt' to Colbert. Yes, Brad, that's how it feels to be on that show.
Dang, Bradley still looks great!
Thanks for your support
Amazing movie! Bradley lost weight but this haircut suits him more!
I just watched Maestro and if Bradley Cooper isn’t awarded the Oscar for Best Actor, then I have no idea who would be deserving of it.
Season’s greetings 🖖 to you my lovely fan🎉 where are you from and how long have you been my fan?
Referring to Cooper as “talented” is demeaning and patronizing. Cooper has achieved what he has in his life with intelligence, dedication, persistence and very hard work. There are millions of talented people in the world but very few who have achieved what Cooper has.
Anyways, I hope Cillian wins best actor at the Oscars ❤️
I haven't seen Maestro but many critics change their minds and now are rooting for Bradley, when they were supporting Cillian, so I think we should see Maestro before decide anything. Both are incredible actors. 😊
My mom went to a Young People’s Concert with Peter and the Wolf!
Just hand him the Oscar now.
I'm sorry but Eugene Ormandy with the Philadelphia orchestra and David bowie is THE Peter and the wolf
