Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

[@sndsurya]

Jon Batiste you bring joy with your music. Much love to you.

[@jamesburgess2k]

This makes me proud to be a musician, they don't care about entertainment or getting paid, but they look like they're having fun

[@PaulsonJeanty]

Can't agree more.

[@joshuafrancis4634]

you said it!

[@NuorvaJ]

Yet you really can't be called a musician until you make money out of it.

[@clevelandpianostudio]

Are you kidding me? i'm a pro, been teaching 30 years, and all of my students are musicians!

[@clw4430]

Who says they don't care about makin' money? In fact, I imagine they're making a lot of money on the late show and happier for it.

[@kemchobhenchod]

I'm just getting a warmer and warmer feeling about this show. There's something different going on with those Colbert folk.

[@nkululekonazo5755]

Coolest and the most spontaneous thing I've ever seen 😜 so much talent here...Jon Batiste deserves all the Grammys he got this year 2022 ... legendary stuff.

[@jasminamamacita6594]

🤩👍🏽❤️Yeeez BayBee‼️✅

[@clumsiii]

Midtown suckers never been so lucky - this is what we need! Mad talent! My face hurts from smiling and I ain even halway thru

[@KathyHussey063]

17 people just revealed they have zero souls up there - above. Really ? a dislike on this video ?? Not enough blood , guts and mayhem I suppose ?? lol. Dear lord people are jerks sometimes....

[@MLDeS100]

Definitely didn't expect a rich white guy to join in on the dancing, who knew a tambourine or a cowbell solo could be so good, and damn that trombone is great.

[@pjbraine2289]

White folks with heart are dancing - if not on the outside in their soul - take a look at all the cultural copying of phrases like "Right On!" & covering tunes from Muddy Waters, Elizabeth Cotten, Bessie Smith, Sister Rossetta Tharpe, Little Richard - then came Elvis, The Rolling Stones, Rory Block, Elaine McIlwaine, John Paul Hammond, Janis Joplin - not all white folk have wax in their ears :) I'd would die to phrase a tune like Billie Holiday - "God Bless the Child whose got his own" - plenty of artists have covered this... anyway

[@SuperOm1234]

Awesome! Bummer that the guitar can't compete with volume. Maybe a little strap on mini-amp next time? :) _* get the sound guy to carry it!

[@jamesburgess2k]

Yea, it would add a nice contrast

[@aerchys4779]

It was facebook streamed, so it would be better if they had more than a phone.

[@anhuman5348]

Isn't this problem specifically why resonator guitars were invented? someone give her a Dobro pls

[@jrichie333]

Jazz is all about the notes you can't hear. She nailed it!

[@buckosoft]

I always think she's too far down in the mix (except the show's opening credits which is perfect). I'd like to hear her do a dobro too.

[@NicholasG28]

That trombone player tho

[@jamesburgess2k]

Yes yes yes

[@JoeyWillenbucher]

He good

[@xFoozle]

idk man, the sax made me pretty wet too

[@RaeCarson]

ALL of them. It's just this amazing ecstasy of sound.... For me it transcends even sexual tension and goes above it. Dixieland jazz is the best feel-good jazz there is, IMO. It's specifically meant to be played on the street with tons of people around.

[@Marxsenpai]

From around the New Orleans area, can confirm.

[@otter_tot]

I never thought it would be cool to be in a late night show band until LSSC.

[@isaaclikeafox]

For those asking for more cowbell 8:30

[@DhavalShah92]

That's my boy Louis Cato!

[@daktari]

I have a fever, and the only prescription is: more cowbell.

[@spoderman15]

Still needs more cowbell!!!!

[@jillsontilus4367]

he kill that cowbell

[@jeezythecat]

Does nobody in NYC have time to have fun? I would've been dancing up and down the god damn streets!

[@jeezythecat]

Work? Kids? Store? I don't see how any of those things can possibly justify forgoing a dance parade

[@dylanzlyang]

I think it might also be that the people thought it was like a music video or something important. I mean if you saw a camera crew filming a live performance, you're probably gonna think they're doing their own thing and not to interfere with it.

[@jeezythecat]

Dylan Yang That or you shake your ass off for the folks back home! Anyways this musical procession was lit

[@HellvisDeathly]

there is def. no Camara Crew, it seems like a Mobile Phone Video, nothing wong with that though! I live in Berlin and here you can find Musicians on every second corner, so New York would have that times 10?!

[@KidPersepolis]

bACK IN nEW oRLEANS THERE WOULD BE A mob.

[@spencerpoore5805]

Hey Jon! Love the band keep up the good music! I love the New Orleans style!

[@roguecactus7]

Yes indeed! A New York second line!

[@jzt999]

Happy, happy music. What kind of shit down-votes this? I'm dancing my way home, and downloading this to my iPod.

[@kost.9423]

Les miserables

[@debracottrill7989]

They don't get it, it's truly transcendent.

[@kpourhamidi]

This right here is what humans bring to the table. Suck it dolphins!

[@timespace.productions7513]

I have a man-crush on Jon Batiste. There, I said it.

[@debracottrill7989]

It's hard not to, he exudes love

[@Aurelio4491]

The last time that I tried to start a love riot, I was put on a government watch list.

[@jedreston]

You're lucky, I was listed in the local sex offenders list. Hahaha...

[@__DocRooZ]

new orleans in new york :D

[@kidstuff6496]

No tambourine solo is ever long enough.

[@TheSvaneMan]

Imagine that as a job, walking around New York playing music and having fun! That's a paid hobby! I love it!

[@feels000good]

You guys all are just amazing! Thank you for this wonderful perfomance!

[@danahcox8308]

Screams New Orleans...great bday present for a boy from da parish now living in Canada. Merci Beaucoup mister Jon

[@MonkeyKong21]

trombone guy soloing is amazing

[@MonkeyKong21]

just a bit after 7:05 if you don't know what I'm talking about

[@frankrehak]

Corey Wilcox!!!

[@lemonwedge4640]

I was sad about something...totally forgot.

[@debracottrill7989]

I needed this today, I was sad today.

[@waynebrowne1063]

There is nothing about this I DIDN'T love! This. Was. AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@joymerkel2420]

My six year old said, "This makes me want to play music!" 😭❤️

[@CrzyLion]

all these people with their camera phones but so little people dancing and laughing. what is wrong with new york?

[@johnd5790]

"Now THAT'S how you fuckin do it!!" - Paul Schaffer (former leader of the CBS Orchestra)

[@bobsmith-ov3kn]

has anyone ever heard a single note of that girl guitar player?

[@ElVicable]

yep bad choice of instrument maybe a banjo would have cut better she is irrelevant

[@Nooneaskedforthis]

21:40 is all i heard

[@thaddeusj.spider8155]

her names Maddie rice she's really awesome check out drewof the drew

[@riskeworldstage5422]

Thanks to ALL involved on getting this online. Performers, the recording crew, the security dude, LSSC,...everyone. This is a great reminder of why I love New York City so much. To think I, or anyone for that matter, might have missed that by minutes today due to traffic or just walking a bit faster or slower, and to be blessed with it online is awesome and a credit to the positive, constructive, and entertaining ways this medium can be used. For what it's worth, this vid is also a great showcase for midtown NYC, the diversity, and how people treat each other. Beautiful. Thanks Again

[@judithmcnerney1636]

Fantastic

[@GamonKills]

Loved every minute

[@Moscato_Moscato]

@9:16 OMG! I JUST O'D FROM MY PRESCRIPTION OF COWBELL!!!!

[@kurtellis4739]

How can people just go walking by and ignore these guys??? There should have been a crowd jiving along with 'em.

[@karenedwards3721]

I can’t believe it either

[@reneegregory829]

Love it! Love it! Love it AND I so miss NYC!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@richrdoj]

When 4 black guys and a saxophone player abduct Toby Keith and Shania Twain. I kid. Awesome job guys :)

[@pjbraine2289]

sweetness in my heart - thanks to the music gods living in all of us - john is a genius & so are those who walk, dance, play and hum with him (I want a pair of red sneakers & to be a Carnegie on Wednesdays!)

[@timespace.productions7513]

Free open-air music everywhere! Forever!

[@Leorstef]

Best 25min 44sec of my life this week. Thanks Jon and Stay Human!

[@MUtley-rf8vg]

Wicked sweet. That is some true stuff.

[@cmcdaniel171]

Jon Batiste you’re going to turn NY into Second Sister of New Orleans… Brilliant and so much joy and happiness from you!!!!!! Thank you so much and praying for you and Your beautiful wife and may you touch all with your many astonishing gifts and continue to transform and heal our Earth… We are our brother’s keeper and family and joy shared, brings peace…. So play on and bring your tsunami of joy and love through music, dance… art… play on and on … thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@Da85vid96]

My favorite part was the guitar...

[@ROFO79]

😂😂😂

[@estherwiskel6550]

Mr John Batiste the Pied piper of music, Joy and Love

[@marciawalters1733]

Perfect description!

[@victorespinoza6210]

This type of music and fun environment is what makes New Orleans so fun. I wish more cities would have live open music

[@ilonafrissina5617]

Jon Batiste amazes me. This is awesome--thanks to you and your band.🎹🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

[@timespace.productions7513]

You know a great drummer when then they can play a single instrument & make it sound like a kit. You get two of these percussionists, & you're golden...

[@josephyang4997]

and THAT kids, is how they led all the rats out of NYC. True story!

[@Symphing12]

lol that's great

[@woodenguitarplayer]

Maddie Rice needed a big 12 string to make a bit more noise! Great band, great energy!

[@bulletfastspeed]

THAT WAS AMAZING

[@mcm4point2o]

dude on the trombone destroyed it

[@bethcaplan3645]

This is and they are so cool. Sounds like down in NOLA

[@treymedley]

You can really appreciate how talented they are in this video in a way that is somewhat missed (though never entirely) on The Late Show

[@agbook2007]

New Orleans meets New York. Bravo!

[@elephantwig7375]

loved it

[@shuyi93]

Love this so much. Please do more of these!!

[@TomFret]

Christopher Walken, the cow bell you requested

[@gailremp8389]

Do they have a cowbell section? We need more cowbell we need more cowbell. Love it.

[@diannelemmon8353]

This is the REAL way to get to Carnegie Hall. So much joy!

[@i_curious]

That looks like the most fun ever!

[@robertspence5603]

I really truly love this vibe !!!!!!!!

[@cyface]

Wonderful, needs more guitar from Maddie!!!

[@ellengreenlaw8839]

Thanks, Jon Batiste. Bring some joy into New York.

[@ChipChip101]

Tash and Sax guy was on friggin' point.

[@jasonrecinos1990]

Awesome playing!! 10/10 :)

[@ninjaknocker11]

NY needs to visit NOLA next time. This is just a taste of the quarter. John Batiste, keep it real.

[@ngoromartin]

Love this, wish they did this in Kenya

[@XMrmarshmallow7X]

awsome - ive recently came by a jazz "concert" in a local subwaystation. Those sort of public music sessions are truly amazing. Awsome idea, awsome music!

[@ruthie4219]

What a treat! Thank you to them all!

[@Vocalinds]

7:30 When it's useful that the trombone is literally the loudest instrument.

[@ghengistron1425]

May they live long and prosper!!!

[@godoyswork]

This video made me get up and dance!!! This video makes me so happy!

[@andelou100]

what the world needs now, is .......... more musicians!!!

[@Onus6688]

America needs more of this and less of... the hate and violence stuff..

[@Mrlegitbeans]

Was this filmed on a flip phone? actually though.

[@TheFaxmachine3000]

Why is the girl never playing the guitar? Great band.

[@fisttickler7558]

She was the entire time. It's hard to pick up on a phone, especially with how loud some of the other instruments can get.

[@TheFaxmachine3000]

makes sense. It was also the case when i saw them live -- you couldn't really hear her.

[@splashpont]

"How do you get to Carnegie Hall?"

[@lukasmacko5186]

Practice, practice, practice. Or just follow Jon Batiste.

[@NamelessAzn388]

So much talent.

[@DarylBark]

.....GOT to be one of the best jams i´ve ever seen.....love it.

[@corbelius6]

Jon you and your Band bring a tear to my eye! I miss Home.You guys be Jammin!

[@pizzaranchify]

Awesome cowbell solo! Loved the whole video!

[@ericabraham5407]

They have to do more bits on the show with Jon Batiste. Some of the best parts are the quote aside comments you here from him off screen

[@elisepentz1063]

Like a big band marching band

[@arzakoor]

This is literally fire

[@JSalesFilm]

Fantastic. Love it.

[@bobby_tablez]

This is real music people

[@lloyddennisNOLA]

In New Orleans they would have become a procession. People would have been late from lunch. Everybody would have understood.

[@deanmachine7971]

I wonder if any of the wind instrument players were close to passing out. Tambourine and cowbell guys were just cruising lol.

[@deanmachine7971]

P.S This is good shit!

[@TonecrafteLuthiery]

Say what you will about the video and audio quality, it's kind of a cool experience to watch this.

[@brotherrabbit8539]

21st century second line. It took about 10 minutes for the band to loosen up but loosen up they did. Jon , you are a great example....stay human!

[@OsoActual]

More cowbell.

[@sonluong4043]

This is awesome, please do more of this. :)

[@snnetteachexnayder63]

Never stop being you because You Are a Gift from Up Above🕊

[@shaneclower]

Funny if that had been in New Orleans they would have had a crowd following them the whole time growing bigger as they walked! Waving our handkerchiefs etc

[@berretta9mm17]

I tried all the way through Junior and Senior High to master the Trombone - and our final test was "Flight of the Bumble-bee" - on the TROMBONE!!! Just passing (I got a B+) was like "they should make a memorial statue of me!!" Seriously a hard instrument - but it made me learn the Treble Clef - and after the torture of learning to play such an instrument with no frets, and no keys, and only breath control, "umbrachure" (hell, I can't remember how to spell it): lip position!) and a movable length of brass to make the sound higher or lower - every instrument afterwards was pretty easy, with these exceptions: the fret-less bass, the violin, the Cello, and when I got to the electric guitar - oh, my God, I thought I'd gone to heaven. Sweet, sweet music... This band - amazing. My favorite out of all of them is the last one, visually, that I thought I would pick - until I heard him kick into a drum solo... on the Tambourine! I love this band, and am so glad they've found a semi-permanent home. This is a musician's dream gig - big money, total freedom, and the chance to do other projects on the side. I have never heard ANYONE do that on a tambourine - and I've listen ed to and played with a lot of Tambourine players who were REALLY good - but THIS? He took it to a whole different level of fluidity, grace, dynamics, and even dance clicks to supplement his beat. This guy's soul itself is a complete drum-kit. With a stroke of luck, they came together, and man. what a ride! My favorite of all the late-show bands that I've ever heard! Thanks for this. Made me smile. I would have jumped up and started playing a coffee cup with a spoon - or something. These people are the real deal - they made through all the egos, the heartache, the cheating, the robberies, the betrayals - and still feel the pure joy of just creating harmony and beat.

[@cmcdaniel171]

Bravo!!!! Thank you for describing the musicians’ journey… rarely supported but deserves huge amplification in schools … The arts would cure mental health alone if we all supported them with our tax dollars and in our communities like sports… anyway… best wishes and thank you!!!!!!

[@silasskiff5034]

So like were can I buy that entire jam soundtrack?

[@KategariYami]

Why Vertical Film? That's about the only problem with this video. Loving the music!

[@VintageKimchi]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[@77Hacksrus]

Awesome!! But who's the guy with the laminated piece of paper? Is that a city permit or something?

[@Phokoyamodimo]

Too long.... But can't stop watching 😎

[@bobsmith-ov3kn]

wait, what happened to the asian chick playin sax

[@jeremyedmond3095]

I gotta figure out how this guy plays the tamborine like that. I've seen videos & in person, but for the life of me cant figure that style.
