A Coldplay Song Might Cheer Up Stephen’s Audience (feat. Weird Al Yankovic And Lin-Manuel Miranda)

A Coldplay Song Might Cheer Up Stephen’s Audience (feat. Weird Al Yankovic And Lin-Manuel Miranda)

[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> Stephen: LOUIS CATO AND “THE LATE SHOW”!
GIVE IT UP FOR THESE PEOPLE OVER HERE.
>> Louis: OH, YEAH! OH, YEAH!
>> Stephen: LOUIS, SO GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS.
SO WONDERFUL TO BE WITH YOU ALL TONIGHT.
MORE PRECIOUS THAN EVER. FOLKS, IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS,
YOU KNOW WE’VE GOT COMING UP HERE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT, WE
GOT TO COUPLE AMAZING GUEST. I LOVE THESE ACTORS.
DAVE FRANCO WILL BE OUT HERE FROM THE MOVIE “TOGETHER.”
AND BEFORE THAT, THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE MARVELOUS SANDRA OH
WILL BE OUT HERE. THERE YOU GO.
THERE YOU GO. FOLKS, LET ME ASK, HOW IS
EVERYBODY DOING? ARE YOU GUYS OKAY?
ME TOO. IT’S GREAT TO BE WITH ALL OF YOU
TONIGHT. I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE
TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THE OUTPOURING OF SUPPORT
THESE LAST FEW DAYS. AS I’VE SAID BEFORE, I’VE GOTTEN
MORE TEXTS AND E-MAILS THAN I CAN POSSIBLY COUNT.
IF I HAVEN’T RESPONDED TO YOURS YET, IT’S BECAUSE I DON’T
LIKE YOU, OKAY? AND THIS IS HOW YOU’RE
FINDING OUT, OKAY? THE THING IS, I DON’T GENERALLY
READ ARTICLES ABOUT MYSELF, FOR THE LAST COUPLE DECADES.
BUT I’VE BEEN TOLD BY MY WIFE EVIE, THERE’S BEEN
A TON OF ARTICLES AND SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS TOO.
EVIDENTLY FOR A BRIEF MOMENT THE GOOGLE SEARCH
“STEPHEN COLBERT WHY FIRED?” OVERTOOK “STEPHEN COLBERT
WHAT WRONG WITH HIS EAR?” IT’S A FREAK SHOW.
ONE THING I GOT FROM THE THINGS I DID SEE IS THAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE OUT THERE ARE BUMMED ABOUT THIS SHOW ENDING,
WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE. [CHEERING]
BUT SOME PEOPLE SEE THIS SHOW GOING AWAY AS A SIGN OF
SOMETHING TRULY DIRE. AND WHILE I AM A BIG FAN OF ME,
I DON’T NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT.
BECAUSE WE HERE AT “THE LATE SHOW” NEVER SAW
OUR JOB AS CHANGING ANYTHING OTHER THAN HOW YOU FELT AT THE
END OF THE DAY. WHICH I THINK IS A WORTHY GOAL.
OR RATHER, CHANGING HOW YOU FELT THE NEXT MORNING WHEN YOU
WATCHED ON YOUR PHONE, WHICH IS WHY BROADCAST TV IS DYING.
YOU’RE PART OF THE PROBLEM. LOOK IN THE MIRROR, OKAY.
WHICH IS PROBABLY THE CAMERA ON YOUR PHONE.
COME ON! POINT IS, I DON’T WANT THIS SHOW
SAD OR ANXIOUS.D WITH MAKING YO- BUT SINCE I’M THE GUY WHO’S
GOING AWAY NEXT YEAR, I’M THINKING MAYBE I’M NOT
THE GUY TO CHEER YOU UP. SO I THOUGHT “MUSIC.”
OKAY? THAT MAKES PEOPLE HAPPY, RIGHT?
SO INSTEAD OF ME TALKING, HERE WITH A SONG TO CHEER YOU
UP ARE TWO MUSICAL GREATS WORLD-RENOWN FOR BRINGING PEOPLE
LAUGHTER AND JOY. PLEASE WELCOME “WEIRD” AL
YANKOVIC AND “NORMAL” LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA!
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THERE YOU GO.
THERE YOU GO. [CHEERING]
THAT’S A BEAUTY. THAT’S INCREDIBLE.
WOW, WOW. FELLAS, FELLAS, COME ON.
I GOTTA SAY THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE TO CHEER THESE FINE
PEOPLE UP. I’VE GOT TO SAY, I’M SURE YOU’RE
ALL EAGER TO KNOW, WHAT SONG ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
>> WE ARE GONNA DO SOME COLDPLAY.
>> Stephen: OKAY, GREAT. YOU GOT A FUNNY PARODY, AL?
>> NO. I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING
FUNNIER THAN COLDPLAY. >> Stephen: WELL, GENTLEMEN,
TAKE IT AWAY! ♪ ♪
[INSTRUMENTAL INTRO] >> “I USED TO” —
YOU KNOW WHAT? THIS ISN’T ABOUTUS.
THIS IS ABOUT THE AUDIENCE. JIM, CAN WE GET SOME SHOTS OF
THESE PEOPLE HAVING A GREAT TIME?
[CHEERING] LOOK AT THIS!
WHAT A CUTE COUPLE. THAT’S SO NICE.
♪ WHEN I RULED THE WORLD ♪ >> LOOK AT THOSE GUYS,
THEY’RE HAVING A GREAT TIME! >> OH, KISS CAM!
♪ WHEN I RULED THE WORLD ♪ OH, NICE.
HAVING A COUPLE COLD ONES. ♪ WHEN I RULED THE WORLD ♪
LOOK OUT! OOH!
POPCORN SHRIMP! [CLAPPING]
WOW! THOSE GUYS SEEM TO LOVE
BEING ON CAMERA. [CLAPPING]
>> AND THESE TWO: UH-OH!
EITHER THEY’RE HAVING AN AFFAIR OR THEY’RE JUST VERY SHY.
>> Stephen: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
WHAT’S THIS? GUYS, GUYS.
STOP! STOP!
SORRY. STOPPED PLAYING.
I JUST GOT THIS NOTE FROM CORPORATE HERE.
>> WHAT’S GOING ON? >> Stephen: GIMME A SECOND.
YOUR SONG HAS BEEN CANCELED. >> WHAT?
WHY? >> Stephen: HOLD ON.
IT SAYS HERE: “THIS IS PURELY A FINANCIAL
DECISION.” >> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
>> Stephen: I THINK IT MEANS MONEY.
>> WELL, YEAH! BUT WHAT MONEY?
>> Stephen: HOLD ON. IT SAYS HERE THAT SINCE YOU
STARTED PLAYING THAT SONG, THE NETWORK HAS LOST —
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE —
$40 TO $50 MILLION. [APPLAUSE]
>> THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE. THAT SONG WAS A NUMBER ONE SONG!
>> HOW DOES A NUMBER ONE SONG LOSE MONEY?
>> A NUMBER ONE SONG! >> Stephen: I DON’T KNOW!
I’M JUST SAYING WHAT IT SAYS HERE!
>> TELL ME THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHO WE JUST PUT
A SPOTLIGHT ON. >> Stephen: THERE’S NOTHING
IN HERE THAT MENTIONS THAT. I’LL SAY THIS, THOUGH.
IS VERY NICE THINGS ABOUT YOU GUYS.
“PERFORMANCE, QUALITY, AND STATURE…
IRREPLACEABLE.” MEOW, MEOW, MEOW.
VERY NICE STUFF. SIGNED “YOURS TRULY,
THE PARAMOUNT FAMILY OF GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES —
AND AI WEAPONS SYSTEMS.” THAT’S NEW!
“P.S. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH OCEANIA.”
>> WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? >> Stephen: I HAVE NO IDEA.
BUT OBVIOUSLY IT’S OUT OF MY HANDS.
I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING FOR BEING HERE
ON MY LAST SHOW. >> STEPHEN, YOU’RE HERE
FOR TEN MORE MONTHS. >> Stephen: OH, RIGHT.
UH… WEIRD AL YANKOVIC!
AND LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA, EVERYBODY!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH SANDRA OH!
I DON’T UNDERSTAND. I DON’T UNDERSTAND THIS AT ALL.
