He's a legend, he once did a show at our highschool to fund the construction of the first skate park. Chesterton loves him!

[@pdoylemi]

Funny, I grew up in Paw Paw, MI - not far away, and I see Jim is from there and in my feed, Adam Driver is from Mishawaka! We had one big show biz person I went to HS with, but despite five Tony nominations, and two wins - not many people know Broadway choreographers :-)

You can also hear those notes if you Google Gustav Holst, The Planets, Jupiter movement.

The change to poorer video quality at the start of the community calendar is a nice touch.

[@davidfisher5599]

I'm from Chesterton, Indiana. Hilarious. Yay.

[@flameyay5207]

I live in Chesterton. These are real upcoming events. I'm honestly surprised they didn't mention the annual popcorn festival in Valparaiso, which is basically a celebration for Orville Redenbacher. (I say this because they mentioned Michigan City, which isn't even in the same county, and Valpo is next door.)

[@elester7456]

Come check out Chronic Flannel!

[@UnicornsPoopRainbows]

Very true. But strippers compared to popcorn...

[@ellebea9091]

But MC is right next door. MC to the east; Valpo to the south. I live in MC and am in Chesterton couple times a week - closer than LaPorte. I'd like to know who these MC Strippers are.

[@courtneysumma7895]

Thats not until September though the things mentioned were all for July right?

[@galedribble9535]

I used to take trips to the outlet mall in Michigan City when I lived in the south suburbs of Chicago

[@tomdavidson7866]

It was unintentional but Jim's struggle to read the material is actually on point with these authentic small local community calendar pieces. SCTV used to parody them all the time

[@byronp2311]

Remember when Colbert was in between shows and did one of those actual community shows and had on Eminem?

[@andlabs]

Indiana Dunes is actually a pretty stunning little park.

[@DonnyRocker2012]

Is the national park distinct from the state park?

[@jmabes2]

@@DonnyRocker2012 Yes, they are separate. Indiana Dunes State Park has been around forever. The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore was established in 1966. It was changed to Indiana Dunes National Park in 2019.

[@someguyfromindiana1777]

Valpo here! This was really cool to see. I remember calling Chesterton “Cheese-town” when you guys called us “Alpo”. I think you had the better insult. Regardless, Chesterton and the surrounding areas are pretty awesome and totally underrated.

C'mon guys we wanna hear the full performance of John's version of Lost Woods!!!

[@majestictrain]

This isn't the first time he's played it on the late show, but unfortunately I can't find a whole version anywhere 😥

[@johnyu9419]

I was in the audience, and they played Lost Woods for about 5 minutes while transitioning to do this stage. It was awesome, such a talented artist and band.

[@thebasketballhistorian3291]

I think they cut it off on KZbin to prevent Nintendo from suing them, haha. I'm a Nintendo fanboy, but I have to say, they're notoriously overprotective of their IP.

[@ManyfiresWoman]

You know you're a good comedian when you can crack up Stephen Colbert.! 😆

[@Turtleproof]

Jimmy Gaff, Lost Woods music, and the sky is bright pink at night yet I ain't even puffed anything, what a time.

Helpful Stephen rescuing Jim from breaking. "So is there more to that story?" 😂

[@richardbraakman7469]

Improv skills :)

[@Gypsy415]

Jon Baptiste is as popular as Paul Schaffer or Doc Sevrinson. Overwhelmingly well deserved.

[@angelapiccolella1491]

I especially noticed the music in this episode. Love the man.

[@Kinypshun]

Agreed! I respect Paul Schaffer's endless experience and musicianship, but he is nowhere close to Baptiste, who is an artist.

[@tdsims1963]

And Paul just couldn't rock a pink lamé suit ("Freedom" video)!

[@AnnieWarbux]

Great Job!! Funny! From a fellow Hoosier on the Illiana side of Da Region in NWI! Where we have Festival of the Lakes and Pierogi Fest!! Yummm!! Pierogies and Beer!!👍

I'm under a lot of stress and watching dark pale, I feel much better😮😅

[@jozz2248]

I f'ing love these.

[@foulchild]

I don't know why, but Jon always, ALWAYS plays the music I've listened to that's caught in my heart of hearts my entire life. From Bud Powell, to some Zelda Ocarina of Time, to stuff I've never even heard. He's always ALWAYS on point, and regardless of the accolades he will continue to enjoy, I just hope he knows we're out here appreciating that shit to the fullest my guy. Big-up yourself.

[@atomthegreat541]

It's nice to authentically smile.

[@MrHotsauce1337]

As someone has lived in Chesterton my whole life I can assure you we definitely don't call it a ”chester TON of fun”..... at least not anymore

I did not know that in addition to his many other talents, Jim Gaffigan is also unable to read.

Brilliant! Someone get this man a pint! Not me, anyone but me.

[@jedkeenan00]

Pratfalls are incredibly difficult. So good.

[@johnyu9419]

I was there. He had a hard time reading because they kept saying random things and off-scripted interjections to make eachother laugh, but they edited it out. Jim said some really dark humor joke that I cannot remember but I remember Stephen said we can't keep that families watch this as a comedy show LOL. Jim kept mentioning weird things like Stephen being part of QAnon LMAO. For example, at the end it did not end like that. That was a reshoot because they were rambling about QAnon and Bill Cosby. The real segment is probably like 15 minutes long.

I almost bought tickets to go see "Clue: The Musical," before realizing that all I really want to see is "Clue: The Movie but performed live on stage by the actors from the movie but not their current old versions but rather their younger selves from the 80's which would require a time machine and is unlikely to happen at this musical."
