Overview
- Colbert, wearing a blue jumpsuit, stepped onstage near the end of Tuesday’s performance and danced with David Byrne’s band during “Burning Down the House.”
- He did not sing or play an instrument, keeping with his light-touch habit of popping into musical sets for a brief, joyful moment.
- The drop-in continued a Late Show tradition that dates back to Colbert’s first week of crashing musical performances with more gusto than polish.
- Tuesday’s episode also packed a reunion with Jon Stewart and a visit from Steven Spielberg as the show leaned into a star-heavy sendoff.
- The series has one episode left, with the finale airing Thursday at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS, and CBS has said it will lease the 11:35 slot to Byron Allen’s Comics Unleashed as a cost-saving move.
