Just for the people who are not familiar with him: half of the classical records of concertos and caprice in the record story have been covered by this man. He worked with every orchestra in every state and he is been prolific since the 50’s. It’s a pure joy to see him still humble and down to earth.

[@renata.g]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ndrew239]

Look at Jon grinning in the background! So adorable!

[@samueljackson315]

Id be grinning to. Not everyday you have the opportunity to perform with someone like Perlman.

"this will be our response to violence : to make music more intensely, more beautifully, more devotedly than ever before." Leonard Bernstein, 11/22/1963

[@TomSmith-gw6fn]

First Tony Bennett now Itzhak Perlman? Stephen, I love you.

[@ivonedefigueiredo9301]

Perlman’s music is on fire 🔥.

[@ingeborg-anne]

Holy cow. At 13 he had more talent and skill in his little finger than my whole neighbourhood.

[@jimsvideos7201]

Having Stephen sit there was an elegant touch.

[@Carolerivi]

Just the decent thing to do, just like we would expect from a decent human being like Colbert.

[@grandmastervic]

Been playing violin for 14 years, and everything but of my technique is modeled after this man. “🐐 PERLMAN”

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

Saw this talented bastard on Sesame Street as a very young boy. The memory of his almost cartoonishly high level of skill with his chosen instrument has never left me.

[@lar8200]

Yes! I remember that too!

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

@@lar8200 Such an artist

[@ErykaSoleil]

I was just thinking of the same thing! :) I don't remember how old I was when I saw it, just that I was very little (I also don't know if I saw it as a rerun). My parents knew who he was and liked him before he did that appearance, so they were thrilled when I would get excited about seeing him on tv every time after that.

[@Quaker-tc8ue]

All due respect to your comment being five years old, your math is off. He appeared on “Shalom Sesame’ in 1987, when he was 42. Not a ‘very young boy.’ He and Toby had been married for 22 years by then, and were parents.

[@veecee3669]

A beautiful man...You as well Colbert!

[@wildshadowstar]

His playing of the theme for Schindler's List always brings a tear to my eye.

[@rampartrod]

what a great artist and gentleman

[@the_bottomfragger]

Wish the interview had been longer, he has a lot to say.

[@c.v7750]

This man is a treasure.

[@jenderalfeb]

What a coincidence!!! I just re-watched Schindler’s List an hour ago & got so moved by the theme song, I went to KZbin to see a live performance of the song & instead, The Late Night Show, which I subscribe to, uploaded this episode! Amazing coincidence!!!

[@coleenparsons4905]

More like serendipity!

[@ramen9158]

:0 it's a piece

[@Robert.Sheard]

Love the reception that pretty young audience gave Perlman. A national treasure.

[@stevenmeyer9674]

That was a different time. Americans were smarter and more cultured than we are today.

[@bl00dhoney]

What an entrance!!

[@audioupgrades]

Wonderful musician and wonderful person

[@gloriaboone]

I have seen him perform in person, and it was powerful!

[@PeaceLoveMagic501]

Being a violinist, this feels great 🤩

[@tesscrelli783]

My favorite violinist!

[@tamikoestomo3275]

Two wonderful men together!!!

[@ButterflySeraph612]

That was one of the coolest entrances I've ever seen.

[@TheKatherinestar]

i remember him presenting Disney’s Fantasia 2000! 💙

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

Wonderful. Just wonderful. What is not to love about the Maestro?

[@hannuta1]

Speaking of a LEGEND

[@therossboyd]

This is wonderful, I hope there continues to be guests in the same vein in the future! Hearing classical music on mainstream television is something I'm sure we could all get used to.

[@jessewarner7962]

Love, love, love Itzhak! Saw him so many times at Mostly Mozart. So much beauty and joy.

[@airlinena]

Love this guy ‼️✌🏻🧔🏻💖

[@lavinder11]

A LIVING LEGEND!!!

[@J.R.S.T.]

ITZHAK PERLMAN IS ON THE DAILY SHOW!!!!!!!!! My worlds are finally coming together. :3

[@manyamyers1110]

A delight

[@kellykerr5225]

I think I would die without my music

[@youcancallmeana]

Well that brought me to tears, the music.

[@kikyochan66]

I loved his playing all my life. When CDs first came out, they were expensive to buy (😆 yes I’m old). I used borrow his CDs from the public library.

[@mannys4539]

What he played was poetic on so many levels!!!!

[@wynstansmom829]

“Sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.” Yes! and Maestro, all of 'it' is still there, and much much more...

[@Mrcabletwitch]

This guy is a living legend

[@violinistvanessa0922]

When I saw itzhak Perlman in person for the first time ever last March I must say, I was absolutely stunned and amazed by how talented he performed! I literally never seen any violinist as talented as itzhak Perlman especially with that impressive performance he performed at the age of 13!😄😄😄😄

[@elisabethmiller1990]

awesome👍❤️

[@yappity]

Thanks so much Stephen for having him as a guest! More artists like him on the show please!

[@einat1622]

GrandMaster 🎻

[@JonPais]

What a great man!

[@whiskersredwood7903]

He played so beautifully at 13.

[@patricksong1993]

Itzhak is a true inspirational icon.

[@enzov9772]

The Late Show should really do more of these elder musicians/artists guest interviews since it’s a great way to learn about history

[@chinookvalley]

God, how I love this show!

[@JuanDavidBedoyaR]

LEGENDS!!!

[@mattcatch1805]

[@Stephenan]

the legend himself

[@BlakieTT]

(I'm paused at 0:46 so I haven't seen the rest of the interview, I'm sure it's fantastic, but...) That chair just SWIVELLED AROUND SO SPOOKILY! Like a weird Halloween horror type thing, or creepy devil-owl O.O Hahahaha. Edit - yes, seems like a nice man; nice video :) Don't lose hope!

[@ryonrobynson]

Awesome

[@barbaraweselakfranch1387]

What a dear man!

[@mayap6055]

Stephen, how about some opera singers next time! So glad you had Itzhak Pearlman on

[@roryscottish8053]

Interesting video 🎗🥇

[@williamgregory1848]

2:15 You can tell Itzhak Perlman was getting emotional seeing his younger self.

[@rdonal23]

The God of music.

[@breannaperkins88]

I now regret deleting that PBS documentary about this man on my DVR.

[@omonyeakahome9174]

2:17 he looks like Deniro!

[@Crmsnraider]

not bad for a 13 year old >.< Legend

[@the_bottomfragger]

As a violinist myself, damn son, that is pretty insane.

[@xavier6037]

He has a lot of potential, could be huge one day

[@TheUAEDragon]

Such a legend 🎻🎼🎵🎶✨

[@victortiburcio]

This is why Stephen Colbert is the best late night host out there🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@amreenpanjwani8796]

You should donate your book proceeds to Puerto Rico too. They are part of our country and need support too.

[@freagul]

It never occurred to me before that the normal interview dais area isn't wheelchair-friendly.

[@davidmdyer838]

They show the interview but not the playing?????

[@joshuaalexander6296]

For those who don’t know who this is, just listen to the Schindler’s list theme.

[@thesimpsons9022]

The Al Pacino of classical music who else agrees 100%?

[@brooklyna007]

Pleeeassee. Voting is so important. To Republicans: "At no point in your rambling, incoherent governance were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational action. Everything in this country is now more corrupt for having observed it. I award you the consequences of your crimes, and may God have mercy on your soul."

[@haikat4]

This comment did not age well

[@brooklyna007]

​@@haikat4 You mean the 160,000 deaths that make the US having the worst per capita deaths from the pandemic while the majority of the developed world has negligible infection rates? Or the worst recession since the great depression? How about the largest percentage gains in national debt? Or maybe the sitting president who is trying to undermine the elections? Which one proves that Republicans have governed in any sense that can be considered rational?

[@jordanco7380]

יצחק המדהים כמה גאווה 🇮🇱❤️

[@harrypearle9781]

This is also a lesson in coping with JEALOUSY! Itzhak Perlman comes out in a wheel chair. He could have been siting down , to begin with. I think he did this to show us his disability, to inspire us. But also, to show humility, so we would not feel jealous of him, because of his great talent. Jealousy can be disabling, in many subtle ways.... THANKS MUCH Harry www.SavingSchools.org

[@fergusbyett8088]

I feel like the interviews feel better without the desk...

[@gerydb]

really? 60 year ago

[@shashankdaveaspirer]

he looks like a calm lewis black

[@anonymusum]

At least a serious artist.

[@dylanzwick]

That kid's got real skills. But slow down there, son, it's a fast piece but it's not a race.

[@anoopsamohan]

While we’re privileged to have a great artist perform for us, I can’t help wondering that this guest appearance was pushed onto the late show by special interests. Something unnatural about the whole thing. Not that it’s wrong but something felt forced

[@habibblog]

Its name is Palestine.. not Israel
