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!"

Jon is becoming a better actor. (He's always been a great musician, but his talking parts of the show have often been a bit awkward. Not this one.)

[@Onus6688]

I agree he's kind of taken his awkwardness and realized to sort of emphasize it and run with it almost jokingly lol

[@ryuman757]

I honestly never got the awkwardness. Always just thought that was part of the comedy, like how the saxophone clip was 2 seconds too long. Shit was so much funnier just with that tiny little detail 🤣🤣 Jon was always funny af and I love him even more for all of this ❤

[@evanrabuhlay]

Jon Batiste is a blessing to the world that we do not deserve.

[@kappaross6124]

O great Jon, please forgive forgive me for my sins...

[@milesjohson7633]

Agree!!! They should do a special segment every friday just to show Jon & his band, like Johnny Carson did with Doc & his band. Jon is such a talent!

[@mikestevens8012]

Yes longer, more music , I wanna hear Jon do jazz classics after about a half bottle of vodka! .or perhaps Jon do a segment with musicains , and unleash the jazz after , so as to be a break , relaxing after the gig...

[@xnonsuchx]

Jon might not be that great as an impromptu comedy partner, but he nails these video bits!

[@BruceLeedar]

Quite ironic considering he is a jazz musician...

[@RPMWrites]

+BruceLeedar ^ clever

[@lineoarlow5120]

I love them! :)

[@mautao675]

Practice, practice, practice.

People say Jon is bad. He's really just too humble. Not to mention good at music, which is already more than enough for one person to be. Or should be. You want him to be a musician, a comedian, a funny sidekick, deeply likeable AND tv ready? For his new salary sure. Yet he isn't all of this things. What he is, is human, and a good example of one to boot.

[@ChristianBoesch]

I guess that explains the name of his band: Stay Human!

[@LocalAdventurerTravel]

This is so good

[@AbnormalWrench]

This would have been a great video if it wasn't for the unbridled and outrageous jelly fish bigotry.

[@maxwellmaler3015]

We need to stop institutionalized ocean discrimination and fishing boat brutality! #jellylivesmatter

[@PureNightfall]

I want Jon's suit collection!

[@jackschmit4696]

I think they are single use only and he burns them after he undresses.

[@garfoonga1]

He doesn't undress. He wades in a vat of acid, removing the clothing, but also his top layer of skin. He then retreats to his cryo pod to regenerate his lush baby skin. All that, just to do the late show for another night and repeat the entire process all over again.

[@nolanshaw5895]

just got Arturo Sandoval chilling playing trumpet at the beginning

[@tweepy123]

That musical conversation was awesome! I wish I had those improv skills

[@PinkSpder]

1:10 sounds like the Conan jingle

[@sillygoose635]

It does! haha!

[@andreww9726]

I really hope to see more like this. Please let there be more like this.

[@wilmerloasiga8755]

他

[@bobby_tablez]

The old Conan intro on tambourine 😂

[@sharksfan2041]

"Man, jellyfish suck." So good

[@julieqiuli9360]

damn how does Jon have so many fine-looking suits? Like, when does he ever NOT look on point?

[@DizzyBusy]

I guess it helps to be tall and slim... :/

[@jeniferdivine]

was already splitting my sides w/laughter, and then- JELLYFISH!!! :D (and a jellyfish callback, no less!!!) this clip was seriously funny, thanx Jon & the guys!!!

[@TimmyGMusic]

Love Jon's personality and sense of humor. And the run he does on the piano at the end of this clip... smokin!

[@luisrosario3781]

Can we talk about the dude holding up the tuba in the back? Man has arms of steel.

[@brandtcampbell3610]

Eddie the sax player, killin it!

[@ahorrell]

This was actually way better than I thought it would be

[@Giddefication]

Actually, these fake lessons do strike a major characteristic of jazz: it's improvised conversations among musicians.

[@mercatorpsi]

That was way funnier than I was expecting it to be. Well done all!

[@abcddcba09]

Best band of a talk show ever!

[@554466551]

I love these!

[@Spiritchaser2828]

I honestly think the snack break steps he uses in all his lessons are the most important steps

[@Schizophonographic]

I love this man. He's hella adorable,talented,and funny. I love his wired gadget review it's so fun!

[@mikeklement7223]

That is one of the funniest skits I've seen in my life

[@shapen360]

As a Jazz musician, I can confirm this is all true.

[@polishbroadcast]

This delighted me to no end.

[@stoshu9584]

Jon and Stay Human came to my high school last year while they were on tour. Before their gig in our town, they all took some time to do a clinic with our varsity jazz band; really great group of guys. We all have signed copies of their cds now 👌

[@DeathlyTired]

One of the funniest bits I can remember from any of Colbert's iteration of the Late Show.

[@sarahmuirhead3526]

Would love to see him teach orchestra! Ha this was great.

[@SasquatchGiraffe]

An incredible followup to my favorite segment ever

[@piggnant]

Great vibes!

[@ehart624]

I laughed out loud at the tuba...

[@vaibhavgupta20]

now i'm wondering do they really talk like that?

[@GamonKills]

im from louisiana, they do

[@lordtacoz]

Yes, we do

[@Yanaschaf]

Nah.

[@leosmithonbass]

yes. you dig? kzbin.info/www/bejne/maTOk3dogr6qqZI

[@jennyyeh4730]

Please do more !!!

[@LuciferLoyalist]

Jon Batiste is HOT

[@jasond7]

WHO ELSE HAD THAT MAGIC EYE BOOK!?!?! I DID

[@x0188273002]

Mannnn jelly fish such. Got me good

[@tingkagol]

That cowboy hat somehow undermines how skillful that drummer is

[@pattithestranger]

Can we talk about his suit? It's beautiful.

[@TheHManShow]

“Man jellyfish suck” lol

[@DavidBatson]

I know that I'm grave posting, and that I doubt anybody will ever read this, but that magic eye joke about the pianos at the beginning of this was really funny. I feel like it might have slipped past unnoticed and I just wanted to give credit to a pretty good joke.

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

Good morning, lovebirds, and remember... a Jellyfish a day keeps the Jazzzers away! #OdedFriedGaon #OdedMusic #OdedFunny

[@alexmott507]

This is my favorite series of any late night sketch ever. So glad it's continuing!

[@AngelaSealana]

Jon's segments rock my socks!

[@ThePhunkyPharaoh]

Just not when he tries to be funny behind Colbert

[@ahorrell]

HOLY FUCKING CHRIST ON A T-SHAPED STICK JON HAS ENORMOUS HANDS 3:16 HE HAS SPIDERS FOR FINGERS

[@startmakingsense2071]

Anybody recognise the sax man's kicks? He looks sharp!

[@Aurelio4491]

Jon brings up a very good point... it's banana o'clock somewhere.

[@eelamite]

i remember seeing this years ago when i was like 12 and laughing my ass up lol

[@dougbreese2238]

if The Late Show makes a tshirt with Jon on it and the phrase "Jellyfish Suck" I will buy three and wear them to my local aquarium...

[@tanyanwanmimi9026]

All those things he shared are as legit as my composition teacher 👍🏼

[@robertprestwood1242]

Whenever I feel depressed I watch Jon Batiste/ Stephen Colbert they always makes me feel happy! Thank you Jon and Stephen!!!!!! awesome shows guys!! Music and humor are great for the soul!

[@mikestevens8012]

Mo mo mo jazz ! And jelly fish tales of woe ! They do such ! They got stingers , they are nasty , painful and almost unedible ! Btw I think your drummer is faking it .but tis indeed true , it s the notes you don't play ! Lovely , too short , bravo mo mo more!

[@KamsPoliticalPredictions]

that game of thrones joke killed me!

[@n.t.6609]

1:11 Little Conan reference ^^

[@angelalee8794]

The 86 dislikes are from the jellyfish They've declared a battle of the bands

[@arzakoor]

[@KeelyBurnMusic]

"Oh look, it's a piano! Just like all the other ones!"

[@mrjellyjoe1333]

[@tweepy123]

Man, I wish I had the skill to improv like that!

[@ps7038]

Man - that is a lot of papaya salad.

[@cyber_future]

[@arthurepisodes-full8994]

Jon Batiste may be awkward socially but he is damn amazing at the piano. Pretty sure he one of the best in the world

[@mistadomino]

i love these bits, more please! i need more lessons!

[@benmontey3438]

Herbie Hancock Jr.

[@Cactina]

I have Jon's suit. (I'm a girl.) (He looks better in it.)

[@oswaldocontreras1507]

You gave it back to him? That's nice of you!

[@alexmott507]

This is my favorite series of any late night sketch ever. So glad it's continuing!

[@t00thman]

I actually wish he'd taught some real things about Jazz and joked less. Batiste is cool as shit but not actually that funny.

[@enemystandu296]

The crazy is I who watched the video thinking is a really jazz class hahaha... (im a brazilian [sorry for the english :0 ] )

[@Scientist_Salarian]

Fewer politics, more of this!

[@famuel2604]

[@morovejsloup2691]

[@jenniferrazon5057]

@juilliardschool NewYork

[@fullercrowley]

[@user-qc9uh3ss7w]

Hey guys, sorry for being a bummer but i was wondering if maybe i could ask for a favor and ask u to say a prayer for my dad I know this might sound weird but we really need all the help possible. Thanks.

[@supershinigami1]

The guy on season 3 of Game of Thrones should stop watching after that. It just gets worse up until terrible and boring.

[@katie4623]

That saxophonist is hot.

[@sanemind143]

I don't know why, but Kansas City Reverse just screwed me for a second

[@katecosettevocals]

*now watching every single Piano-1-O-Fun on this channel...*

[@oitgvjutddfgh]

[@dariushcreates]

Then he composed for Pixar's Soul

[@smaklilu90]
