[@manai7007]

They killed it man. I've lost count to how many times I've watched this.

[@sototem]

+manai same.

[@jsfcoko]

same LOL

[@judyantonetti2186]

manai same!! One of my favorite, favorites moments.

[@damiensullivan440]

Overrated .

[@Nyruami]

Maybe you should watch Robbie Williams just to hear how that sounds when done professionally

[@britneycheng4900]

Stephen's tie matches James' suit and vice versa - i'm deriving way too much pleasure from that

[@karenperkins3016]

Yep

[@fraliexb]

That was awesome. I love it when Stephen sings with his guests. They harmonized together very well.

[@afweath05]

letterman and Ferguson never had this kind of showmanship together. This puts Colbert and Corden in a whole new level of late night talk show hosting category. This was amazing! I miss Letterman and I miss Ferguson, but I'll be honest, the new guys are certainly adequately filling the void they're intended to fill.

[@PunkNation26]

Corden isn't fit to wipe Ferguson's ass.

[@PunkNation26]

+Litetaker Ferguson was a late night god. Corden is just meh.

[@DaWurd]

adequate? Are you sure? Cuz well, Dave and Craig would never do a song and dance number, or sing with the musical guests..

[@ekulerudamuru]

To be fair Craig have the cheapest budget in all them, his prev studio had leaks, the dude dont even have a band etc. It was amazing he lasted that long and still has a decent rating you imagine this guys doing that and he doesn't even have script or pre interviews!..im not hating on Corden but Craig still top it up for me..

[@DaWurd]

I don't watch Cordon anyway, Just Colbert

[@victorkong82]

More entertaining and sweeter than any Lip Sync Battle.

[@Masaru_kun]

+Victor Kong this is how late night television is supposed to be

[@patricklaowoo]

+Victor Kong It's amazing how he can make look it wasn't rehearsed. with all the stuttering.. "umm umm what should we sing.."

[@dianacambridge38]

... yes, it was so nicely put together! They got to surprise the audience for at least some initial seconds of the act ... Love watching the band players grin with delight (near end of performance).

[@jameswalls4172]

I really dont think it was rehearsed.They are both well versed in musical theatre,and watch how they watch each other for cues,like when Stephen starts to walk over to the chair and James kinds looks around to see what is going to happen next.And when Stephen shakes his hand he kind of lifts James arm and they both go into a soft shoe number.And you can see James struggle for the words when he sings about what I said at the start.Just great entertainers,thats all.

[@brendar9363]

It was rehearsed. Stephen didn't just pull the line about JayZ out of his butt.

[@flintmakesmusic6039]

I like to see Colbert doing more show stuff - it comes quite naturally. Kimmel and Fallon also have these fun segments, but Colbert still keeps his class during these, I like that. :)

[@BrendanBeckett]

They did a good job making this seem genuinely impromptu at first

[@lovepotionsinc]

Love the matching colour scheme! Colbert and Corden classing up late night.

[@User_32]

I would have never noticed that

[@chadochocinco3801]

When James hits the high chord!!!!

[@TransparentLabyrinth]

I just shed a happy tear for the appreciation of old style music and dance.

[@aizen111]

James has a nice singing voice

[@starlinguk]

+Jordan Caldwell You have to watch him in History Boys (warning: sad ending).

[@cofcchick]

Watch Into the Woods.

[@HBarnill]

+cofcchick I still wish Hugh Jackman played the Baker.

[@bbofun]

+Henry Barnill Why? He's not right for it- maybe as one of the princes, or the wolf, but not the Baker.

[@HBarnill]

+Andrew Horn He did sing the Baker's part in a rendition of No One Is Alone. Search it.

[@jessiefant902]

The talent CBS has with their late night hosts in unreal. James and Stephen are such a fun duo and complement each other perfectly! They're going to rival NBC for sure.

[@joshm.9308]

I could never see Letterman pulling something like this off! Hats off to Stephen and James here! This was excellent! Very impressed by both Stephen and James' singing, too!

[@99thTuesday]

Some excellent wardrobe coordination between their suits and ties and each other.

[@MikhailKalashnikovMiG]

I absolutely love how Stephen manages to keep his show fresh and current whilst avoiding the late night trend of turning their talk shows into variety/game shows. Oh and this was a pretty damn impressive performance without all the cluttered, loud musical instruments Fallon has in his musical segments

[@WendellsCat]

+Mikhail Kalashnikov I like how Fallon has improved the Tonight Show over the old stale comedy of Jay Leno, but it's true that he relies way too much on these games that he does. However, he does get millions of views for them. I hope eventually Stephen's videos on here will garner just as many views, if not more, because Stephen should be the best. His ratings and views may not reflect it, but I think that'll change in time. I think it will be competitive, instead of Fallon dominating.

[@Sshoestring63]

+Mikhail Kalashnikov is it really a trend? I don't see anyone else doing the game show thing with their late night shows besides fallon.

[@MikhailKalashnikovMiG]

Sshoestring63 James Corden

[@lmbgemini]

+Sshoestring63 Ellen does some kinda games but I guess she's not late night. Jimmy Kimmel did a family feud game with the avengers cast. But also if I wanted to watch a game show I would watch a game show. I watch "talk" shows for the interviews. But I like the sketches that Corden does.

[@mckenna8663]

LOVE when they bring in their broadway roots! They are actually very cool, triple threats.

[@Aurora.m9]

2:07 YASSS JAMES KILL IT 👏👏, this just made me love a lot more which is kinda impossible 😍

[@sarangpark6896]

That was one of the best things I've ever seen in my life :)

[@luckyjasonfan]

Ditto!!

[@williamkingston4278]

+Sarang P I got so addicted i literally just listen to it day and night XD

[@yungsimmmie9835]

+Sarang Park Try watching the Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. version ;)

[@relievedbigfoot4640]

Check when Frank and Sammy did it. Much better than this (which is already amazing)

[@blaaa57]

The way James Corden sings "shadow" from 1:30 to 1:32 gives me chills 👌🏼

[@GregPoblete]

These two are doing great things for television.

[@1rkhachatryan]

Hell ya James, you betta slay that vocal lol.

[@wezsoo]

This made me unreasonably happy

[@Shaindl]

Corden is just adorable. Hope he has ever greater success.

[@J0kersGoon]

Somewhere in a deep dark alley a lonely Jon Stewart stares into the darkness. A single solitary tear rolls down his face.

[@arpadelluna]

I love them -- and I love Jon Batiste's (and the percussion's) accompaniment, which makes them feel / sound that much better.

[@Coltranized]

Dude, Batiste is boss! So, so, so happy he got that gig! He's so musically knowledgeable it's ridiculously awesome!

[@mooniejohnson]

Why didn't I discover this clip sooner?! This is my new go-to "happy video"!

[@NashtyNation]

Did you notice the ties? They are matching with what each other are wearing. Totally adorable.

[@sixthjayhawk]

Stephen hitting "sea" at 0:49 gives me chills.

[@michelleblling803]

Omg same that was soo good😍

[@TheSnoopy1750]

I normally hate singing bits on late night, but this was really good.

[@chloebrown1856]

!!!! THEIR SUITS MATCH I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

[@ciarandeay]

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this over the years. Watched it soon after it was initially uploaded. It still baffles me that it hasn’t got more recognition & views. I’d like to think it’s partly because Colbert didn’t have the audience he has now. The same can be said about Corden. Colbert didn’t have trump fully yet to build his popularity and Corden didn’t have Carpool Karaoke. If this was uploaded right now in 2020 it would easily do a million views in a day or two. But yet, 5 years later it still hasn’t. And it should have because it’s wholesome and enjoyable!!

[@fraliexb]

Man I can't stop just rewatching this video, I want to like it more than once.

[@MrBenBarzilai]

"Oh Jeez I don't know what we should sing oh this is so spontaneous and unplanned" *cue the perfect harmonies and dance moves*

[@WillsThoughts]

watched this 50 times somehow over the course of 2 months

[@isLife-if8lz]

Ah good to see people still coming back to see this! September 2020!

[@SpiffDico]

I'm so happy that this exists! :DDDDDDD

[@catherine52525]

I've listened to this about 50 times in the past 5 days ... Love it! Such great chemistry and talent

[@savannahm.laurentian1286]

I come back to see Corden's innocence, Jon and his glorious piano, the band's joy, Colbert & Corden's harmony ..

[@yojon4905]

Warmed my heart watching these two stars sing a number

[@jasonm3693]

.james is pretty chill

[@maggieruiz3908]

James corden is my spirit animal

[@tamereenshort4866]

I Just Could Not Stop Pressing Replay.

[@fleurinoue4928]

COLBERT. ALBUM. 2016.

[@TheSpiderByte]

yes

[@sngore1]

I love that their suits and ties are inverted!

[@TheFailure367]

I didn't realize how much I needed this.

[@thaitichi]

Colbert's Voice, wow!

[@adamngrin]

It's rare like.. Rare rare

[@xxcinemaxx]

It's RAW

[@001SpecialAgent]

This is so my favorite late show, and the only one that I can really say I can't get enough of.

[@debiaso6352]

Best late night duo by far! Cant go wrong.

[@MSTe98]

I love how their suits are inverse to each other. Clever touch!

[@lornamackenzie343]

Stephen please sing more often !!

[@rainydaygirl57]

This makes me really happy. I love that you can have fabulousness on the show, great interviews and hilarity!!!

[@melischang]

This was insanely great, made me smile till my cheeks hurt. Love these two guys!

[@themripley]

Stephen's tie matches James' suit - adorable. Also, they need to host an awards show.

[@hungrylikethefox]

That was a hell of a great duet!! More singing and more swing, please! ;D

[@MJCC002]

Love everything about this. Including the fact that their outfits match

[@BeepDerpify]

That was really nice :) !

[@thebrianswann]

Next Years Tony Awards Hosts?

[@londontolosangeles12]

That would be so cool!

[@q851230]

+Brian Swann Stephen did sang on Tony Awards before!!And he has excellent sing in musical "Company" (play Harry)

[@alexwason8292]

I've been saying Corden should host the Tony's for months, and after this, the two of them should totally host together!

[@j.d.529]

yes!

[@kishp1331]

Someone make this happen.

[@ptyptypty3]

WOW............... that was Fantastic!!... They both were Great!!.. and as usual, James Corden never ceases to amaze with his Musical Talent!!! wow!!

[@skippiescrunch]

The James and Colbert alliance has begun.

[@Raynaboww]

[@majorsanders4525]

[@northstar5747]

Aren't we so lucky to have these classy talented men on tv each night??? What a treat. Like the ole days when men could sing and dance and brought class and elegance into people's homes. Thank you Stephen and James....

[@Echo-MFJ]

Such amazing voices!

[@cheekymonkey338]

Love the matching suits

[@sploosh09]

I have watched this too many times, I love it so much , I love when stephen sing "down the Avenue" I think it's so smooth an beautiful

[@clb8645]

"We'll wind up at Jilly's right after Toots Shor." You can see James Corden sing "Jimmy's."

[@elisebrown2986]

this is so old school late night television of them lol

[@GrandiaKnight]

There's nothing like a fake spontaneous song and dance routine. Great job guys!

[@raj.ghuman]

Real Talent at it's Finest.

[@chanelstone]

This was the absolute best I have heard James' voice. And how did I not know that Stephen could sing??!!?

[@alexandragrant4524]

Stephen Colbert is the only person who is not a professional singer who I consistently love to hear sing.

[@annepalisoc7225]

Wow, they harmonize well!

[@savannahsleezer657]

How about a carpool karaoke with James and Stephen??? I'd watch that!

[@attorneyabogadamaritzaorti2786]

I will keep my antique puertorrican TV on just for both! I already have a crush with both. Thanks CBs!!! Lots of luv from PR!

[@beybladexkai]

i need the full version of this O_O. it is so upbeat and funny

[@NissmahRoshdy]

Old stuff never looses its charm...

[@QueenMegaera]

The matching suit/tie-combos ... that's just that little bit extra that makes this even better!

[@DannyDenay]

Love the co-ordination of the suits. Just me?

[@rodham8935]

So perfect together this is just so beautiful, always coming back to this!

[@jakeinator722]

Who's here after Jericho and MJF on AEW?

[@labarians1814]
