[@QueenMegaera]

Jon is such a lovable dork in these vids ... ^^

[@jameshobbs]

He's very smooth and natural. So likable.

[@sewgatormomm]

Jon has comedy game! His musical timing translates perfectly to his comic timing. Great job!

[@alicesrabbit7126]

42 thumbs up fr colbert staff and crew members?? ;)

[@Jeff121456]

They laughed when he brought up Walgreens, but if you've lived there you know they are major landmarks.

[@taliaphoenix]

This is accurate.

[@roguecactus7]

“He’s not dead, he’s just drunk.” - me informing a tourist

[@CrescentCitySweaters]

Okay, but the Walgreens on Canal and Baronne is a classic joint. He’s spot on about all the Walgreens being legit

[@etmeyutub]

If you looking for it , it's across Canal street from......Walgreen's.

[@MONICAANICA]

Best place in America. Super food restaurants music on the streets & people super friendly. If i ever muster the courage to go back to America it will be only for New Orleans. Lot of Love parties & jazzy food. Oh mama. Heaven 😎😁🍷🍸👠👡Be blessed people of New Orleans

[@GreatFlamingEyebrows_]

I fucking love Jon!!!!!! More of him please

[@gent8940]

Hilarious! We are witnessing what happens when this man is given the freedom to let loose 🐿

[@candygardner4440]

I want more!

[@JeanneHaegele]

That was so hilarious! We need to see more of Jon Batiste comedy bits!

[@yashiAR]

This is a great segment. Keep em coming.

[@westybestie]

His segments are always so wholesome.

[@daniellaviolet6207]

'New Oreleaown' ahahah

[@roguecactus7]

Daniella Violet N’awlins. 😁

[@mitchellradspinner4491]

Jon is the unsung hero of the late show

[@troubledaemon]

The "aaaaaahhhhhh" scream was some of the best acting i've ever seen lol

[@socrappyicoulddie]

BOAT

[@landypaule]

Was clearly the highlight. They are even planning on another boat.

[@noediaz4726]

I GOTTA CHEK OUT THAT ... OTHER WALGREENS !!!!! ;)

[@deadfr0g]

Breatest Of All Time!!!

[@landypaule]

Jon in his natural habitat :-) Love it to see him so cool and not over the top. I like that much more than his laughter in the show, I have to admit.

[@thesoundsmith]

Musicians do not alwyas make the best Ed McMahons. He does play his N'Orleans ass off, tho...

[@cdubbau135]

landypaule Ooooooohhhhh, Coooooooold Blooooooded!!! Normally, he annoys the shit out of me with his random piano key playing and his loud ass laughter. But he did a good job here.

[@TransparentLabyrinth]

This shows that he's definitely got the instincts to do comedy when it's scripted. He just doesn't know how to do improv comedy (yet). I'm betting if this show lasts, he'll be a musical Andy Richter, given enough time to learn. He seems ready, willing, and able to improve.

[@Robert_McGarry_Poems]

The reason you can hear him laughing strangely in the background is because no one in the audience reacted the way they wanted. He starts laughing and the audience responds. I think he is already doing just fine. It is a live show, and you have to have enough material to make a static show from it. Scripted or not. Both him and Stephen have done fabulous work. It is work, no matter how much fun they have. Jon also seems to be a barometer for Stephen when he makes a risky joke. Jon can be heard going ooh. I think that these must be pieces of communication between them.

[@sillygoose635]

I love his piano playing, especially whenever they do a baby joke, he'd pull out the rugrats theme.

[@bl00dhoney]

Jon is so effing adorbs!!

[@MisterTingles]

this was fuckin hilarious

[@rmtrainer7]

I've never seen John as part of a comedy skit! This was actually hilarious! I want more!

[@wendynine-sc2sv]

More!!! BLESSED 🐝...

[@jakemarsing2615]

Jon is so great. I'm glad to see them using him more. I think sending him to different cities and have him do these kinds of tours would be great.

[@mimortal]

Number one place to visit for me!

[@TheZephyrStorm]

As someone who lived in Baton Rouge I can confirm that everyone who's ever been to New Orleans has memorized the locations of every walgreens in the city

[@annabrenner5995]

Late Show, you've been holding out! Please make more of these.

[@m.c.5795]

I’ve visited New Orleans twice. Very funny and made me smile the entire time I watched. I’d like to see more segments like these, with Jon Batiste exploring cities rich with culture, history, and music. Music, as an art form is so important. It makes hearts happy and brings people together. In light of the current discourse and back to back tragedies in the world, we need more of things that make us smile and make us feel joyous. Thank you Stephen, Jon, and entire Late Show family. I depend on your content to stay sane and smiling. 😊💙

[@solarsatori]

More Jon Videos!

[@Laser0rick]

This is hands down the best ongoing segment they had. Glad they brought it back.

[@apeanutbutterwolf6529]

John Batiste*, that jacket is pure style!

[@jillkellogg1439]

Jon Batiste

[@IamErik31]

....but how CAN one get the death penalty while in New Orleans?! Don't leave us hanging man!

[@Magimasterkarp]

Erik Arteaga but that is how...

[@TyiffaTina]

oof

[@Fals3Agent]

you probably get hanged there for composing bad jazz music or some shit like that

[@mavendeo]

Erik Arteaga Murder. He didn't say it was _only_ in Nawleans.

[@pamelabennett1492]

Its aJOKE,baby! A lead into him taking off with a friend as more important and interesting than making a vid!

[@ndgv2]

Jon is a fun dude. I hope to visit new orleans one day.

[@tinaperez7393]

More of these please. LOVE Jon and Piano 1-0-FUN! ♥️💕

[@Marisa4412]

Jon as we know you are a great entertainer

[@JustSomeRando420]

I was born and raised in St. Bernard Parish and I can vouch for all this being 100% accurate af

[@chillphiljazz6177]

3:18 "Well, that's everything you need to know about New Orleans. Except one thing... You can get the death penalty - Whoa! 'Wassup baby, you still doin this video?' Yeah we still workin it out man, you see that 'Man, well my wife just had a bunch of babies' Wow! 'You wanna come see?' Yeah, let's go!" 😆😆😆

[@Berengier817]

ChillPhilJazz wow you literally repeated the line. You're so hilarious

[@MasterDeanarius]

Berengier817 Welcome to youtube, you must be new here...

[@RobertSlover]

[@normantrombon]

ChillPhilJazz ...I’d say yall was quotin verbatim!

[@Canebrak31]

Death penalty by.... eating a reheated poboy or going to lowwweeerrr 9th💀

[@mackenzie3779]

I would love to see Jon in more! More if his music on the show, more with other musicians that come on, him interviewing people! I love his music and his vibe!

[@SamithPich]

This video was so much fun to watch! It puts a smile on your face :)

[@FannyWanKenobi]

Awesome! I love those segments !

[@saunsiaraybroussard9967]

I love the way you teach us about New Orleans cousin! I have been there a few times but not long enough to go to all the beautiful places! I hope one day we'll see each other there and you can show us around! My favorite part is the French Quarter! Bourbon Street is beautiful! Stay safe and God bless y'all!

[@coutureofandrea]

YES!!!! MORE SCREENTIME FOR JON 😍😭 I love that guy so much. Please put him in more segments!!!

[@zcy181]

As i'm living here right now, I can confirm this is all 100% correct

[@bl00dhoney]

Where are the puppies?

[@Lorenzo_631]

blood honey i dont know.

[@RobertSlover]

[@anti-depressant]

Where are the babies?

[@shojogrl]

It's a pun for hushpuppies: fried cornbread balls. Lol

[@thesoundsmith]

In the po' boys... (Sorry, just had to do it...)

[@leesway]

Thank god this guy finally got some more lines

[@MarkReviews]

I would watch a series of travel vlogs like this! Keep them coming!

[@JamesChessman]

My girlfriend watched this video with me, and she said Jon Batiste is handsome and sexy. WTF Jon Batiste.

[@jeniferdivine]

[@cyface]

[@silvsilvsilv]

If you get Dennis to say "I don't know", he turns into a plate of crawfish.

[@HandofZozer]

[@similarsherbert]

[@FLEXHARVEY]

Multi talented that Jon Batiste. He is going places. Well deserved.

[@lastgreatest7821]

Very interesting. Love it. Peace and Love.

[@neutralgroundcoffeehouse4471]

Love Jon! Love this! FYI, those “City Park” shots were NOT done in City Park. I don’t recognize the type of tree, and we don’t have hills 😂

[@kimbermichelle3922]

They have parts in City Park I have never seen because it's huge. Why would he NOT film in there.

[@TheGrantross]

Ya know I normally rely on Stephen to cheer me up on tough days, but today with the all the fires so close to home that didn't work. Luckily Jon Baptiste came through for me today with this video. Had me a hooting and hollering.

[@JJJameson.]

I like Jon,he's simply uplifting

[@chantalrochon3566]

Love those segments with Jon Batist! It's Stephen Colbert with Spice!

[@vortegon1227]

MOAWWWRRR MOAWWRRR!!! DAMMIT!! not long enough! !!

[@penelopepetite2228]

Jon should get with amber and Alley with Seth Meyers and make their own renegade talk show

[@thomasroberts4299]

Penelope Petite I'd watch that.

[@rjojo40]

Great Episode Jon!!!

[@yashiAR]

[@crusaderking6223]

How is it that I just found out about these amazing Jon Batiste segments today?

[@snausages43]

Isn't Old Orleans in France?

[@Andeavor]

Yes, the New Orleans area was colonized by the French.

[@shanadir]

Bad Hombre yep, so... pretty accurate?

[@Etatdesiege1979]

No, that's just "Orléans".

[@yesloow]

Yeah. Like he said...don't go there.

[@maxwellis4645]

Jon is such a cool sidekick.

[@ANIMEMANGA014]

Jon should do videos like this more often

[@Noiiizeeey]

So fucking hilarious!

[@antoniasaldias4530]

[@henryhawke]

What a champ

[@s.heller3163]

I miss Jon's infamous "Cooooooooold-blooooooooooded!" 🙁

[@alexlandherr]

John saying “Jim!...” is was new.

[@jeremywhitaker4980]

I lost control at "boat" Seriously, though, the best part of this is him blowing off what he's doing to go see puppies and babies. That's peak New Orleans right there! Lol no place like home

[@pamelabennett1492]

So agree!
