Kartoffel Pommes - ~20 years ago I was the assistant lighting director for a venue in Colorado (before a band snatched me up to be their touring LD) when a radio industry concert was held there and *Willie Nelson* was _one_ of the headliners (the best imho but t’other names were pretty damn big too). At the end of the night one of *Willie’s* crew came and got me (lighting guy) and the stage and house sound guys and brought us to his bus... just like you’d imagine, when the doors opened it smelled like the kindest grow house you’ve ever seen. Sitting there was *Willie,* rolling a _ginormous_ spliff and he told us to sit down and get comfortable, finished rolling the joint (which was some *_incredible_* blueberry smelling strain), handed it to me with a lighter and *_proceeded to thank us_* for the work we did running his show... *_nobody_*_ ever_ thanked the house sound, stage sound and lighting folk but here was, frelling *Willie Nelson,* offering us praise and smoking a joint with us. He is just as cool, funny and mellow a cat as you can imagine and I will forever hold that night in a special place in my heart !!
Hell yeah. I always will love The Highwaymen, Cash, Waylon and Nelson. Plus Willie has a lot of great songs period. On top of all that though he's a great guy.
@@blaisemacpherson7637 - Yes! OMG. There's so many.. I like "Whiskey River" and "The Last Thing I needed, The First Thing This Morning." Easier to say there's none I DON'T like, lol.

Willie Nelson is up there with Sinatra, Elvis, Williams, and other American music icons. He can sing anything and make it his own. His guitar playing is as good as it gets. Great interview, Stephen!
brian5o Ah, dang! I was wanting to be the first one to banter on that. ;) Willie Nelson's cannabis line should be like the equivalent of Ben & Jerry's ice cream line. :D Willie should make a flavor for each famous person he likes... I wonder what Bernie Sanders' pot flavor would be! ;)
Obama wrote in one of his books that he got high often in college. I think that is what Willie was referring to. If they did light up together it would be amazing though.
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
I'm not a fan of Willie's music but he is a legend for his intellect, whit and activism. I would consider it a great honor to smoke a joint with Willie and have a conversation.
Nice to see willie back again. I have some old good vinyl that i still enjoy. Cheers from morocco. I consider you as the ambassador of the texan music.
Who doesn't love Willie Nelson? You know, I'm on the other side of the world...(Downunda) and Willie has ignored us for decades but us Aussies know talent when we see it....ONYA Willie...
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
New pot variety, Colbert Lavender! Stony but still allows in depth discussion. I'll recommend it to our local dispensary owner. Great interviewStephen....
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
Kirsten S. Oh man, you're so lucky! :) I hope to be able to try Willie's line before I die! Legalization sure isn't happening fast enough; although I'm happy it's at least happening!
Willie doesn't look a day over 60. Stress is what makes a person grow old. I smoked a lot of weed myself (haven't smoked since 11/2004). I better get with the program! My Dad was telling me all about his recent trips to Denver and Seattle.
My Mom was truly in LOVE with Willie Nelson growing up. When i see him and that precious smile and unassuming way, i cannot help but think of my Momma.
@Willie Nelson what an honor to receive a reply from you ❤ you are a legend!! 🌟 Of course I'll listen to you always!! Take care and keep singing 🎶🎵 ⭐🌟🤗💕would love to hear from you again! 🙋🏼♀️🌻
@Willie Nelson sure of course! You're amazing! You and your music 🎶🎵 I would enjoy continuing a conversation with you. 🙋🏼♀️😀and a chance to win anything associated with you and your autograph would be amazing 👏🏼 look forward to it! Thanks Willie!😇🥰
Stephen, congratulations for screwing up the routine.... You're the first person that stepped on Willie's bus and didn't smoke with him!.... Or did you?! 🤔🤔😂🤣😂🤣😂
Lol yeah it is illegal so I think Stephen was hesitant to really say what it is he smelled on air haha. But hey he's drank on air too. Either way it should be legal everywhere.
Stephen's no stranger to pot...definitely not 'shrooms. He's brought his use up in passing MANY times. Amy Sedaris actually hinted that her, Stephen, and Paul might still do mushrooms on occasion. I could see her being a more frequent user than him at this age-she's been open about her enjoyment of them and I think she uses the experiences to create her work- but I'm sure he can still hang!
Lukas, (Willie's Son) Jonny Burke Alex aka Shakey Graves and I all grew up together. Miss my TX/TN roots, miss home. Love you Willie! Always an inspiration.
That can’t be Willie’s bus...you can see! I love Willie Nelson; I even have an uncle Willi who is a little younger but also has the same long hair and beard...he was an alpine guide and is probably about as interesting to hear stories from!
I was smoking a joint with an old guy I had just met at a gas station in New Braunfels tx and this dude was pretty chill I think we had around 5 blunts(road trip so I had a shit load rolled) and when the dude left my friend came up to me and asked if I was just smoking with willie nelson...turns out I smoked with willie nelson.
I hate the excuse this guy made (sorry but I don't know his name or who he is, obviously some presenter) - what do you mean before your time?? I know who Tex Ritter is, although he died some 20 years before I was born and I'm not even American! What an embarrassment and what a shame! And yet why is no one shaming him for that??? So much talent and misical legacy your beautiful country gave to us all but it seems its greatest performers are now forgotten by their fellow countrymen. I was looking for a recent (and decent) Willie Nelson interview, but I just stopped watching at that point...
alphonso Drovel ... I met Tex in Indy in the 60s. My musician cousin opened for him. Tex was a dead ringer for one of my uncles and a very pleasant man. I am 83 years old, and remember the songs he sang. Rye Whiskey, Blood on the Saddle, Boll Weevil, etc..
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
Trigger is awesome but, It would just be another guitar if it weren't for all the soul behind it! It's Willie's get up and go! It's everything all together and a good heart that has been driving it down the road again and again! Thank You Willie Nelson for all the inspiration and realness! God Bless!

I really like that Colbert went to his bus for the talk. It was so intimate and relaxed. Great interview!!
lets all go visit willie on his bus, that would be awesome

Willie Nelson wasnt relaxed at all.
I love Willie. What a fucking legend.
Steph Anie grew up on him
Favorite song: living in the promise land
i4petus Direwolf there is always one like you. And its Native American, as in there before you.

Euh, people who say 85 years young ....
OK, It's official, Willie Nelson is not allowed to die
Peter Neal Amen
well, now you're getting medicinal
But then we'd never be able to roll him up and smoke him
Don't even joke man. Just don't.
Don`t even want it to cross my mind. What a treasure.
What a legend. Growing up in New Zealand he was one of my mums favourites, and Sinatra too!
I hope this interview is stored by the Library of Congress and preserved forever.
amen

Donna Roberts don’t forget his good friend Johnny Cash!
No love for Tom Waits? Shame! Shame!
@@sdfkjgh, I love Tom Waits! I love Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Kristofferson and many more, just didn't list them all!
@@Drakelx55, you bet! And Waylon and Kris too!
He's up there with Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters and Aretha.
The Colbert Lavender. I'll check the dispensary tomorrow.
Coleen Parsons I bet that’ll go great with a few pints of Americone Dream or Willie’s Peach Cobbler ice cream.
Coleen Parsons haha
you know the strains are being named at this moment
Something linalool-y. I love me some terpenes.

Willie Nelson's cannabis line should be like the equivalent of Ben & Jerry's ice cream line. :D Willie should make a flavor for each famous person he likes... I wonder what Bernie Sanders' pot flavor would be! ;)
Willie, who would you want to light one up with?
Yes.
😂
Exactly. Discrimination is for suckers.
And he knows that some of them need to chill hahaha
hahahaha, right on :))
but on Obama... "I think he may have already been there a time or two"... has willie toked up with Obama?
Obama wrote in one of his books that he got high often in college. I think that is what Willie was referring to. If they did light up together it would be amazing though.
G*d Bless you Willie; love you for being the gentle sooth sayer that you are.
😂😂
As interviews go, this one is damn fine. Colbert and Willie perfectly at ease with themselves and absolutely charming.
i absolutely love Willie Nelson. I love his honesty and realness. I honestly adore him
Love Willie ❤🎸🎶
Willie is a true treasure.
6:20 Snoop Dogg admitted that he once had to call time-out during a smokathon with Willie, the only person ever to out-smoke The Dogg
true story
gabiluch87 Absolutely >>> ruclips.net/video/jcVTImeEGqs/видео.html
Wired Weird lol
Willie said yes before Snoop's picture stopped moving.
@Erica Berry believe it. Snoop came out and said that a long time ago.
This is positive, wholesome, and wonderful. Peace.
"Would you like to go to space?
No. I've been there"
WHAT A LEGEND
I have loved Willie all my life! He gives me a reason to still be proud of being a Texan. Go Beto!

Marianne Kennedy Me too
Willie is a NATIONAL TREASURE. Bless you, sir!!
Willie is a Class Act. Always has been. Much love and respect.
genrlgadget Yes!
This just made me love willie that much more! What was he looking for when Colbert was reaching for the photos??? Hmmmmm?

Willie!!!!! Love him. One of my departed dad's heroes. Grew up on him.
Much as he may want to come off as a humble, everyman, he is actually a genius and one of the greatest singers of ALL TIME.
Damn it's good to get some Colbert up in here
aaaaw! Willie and Beto. That is just an awesome combination! Great interview!
I think I just fell in love with Willie
What a graceful interview! I always love when Stephen shows his admiration and respect for people much older than him, it's so soothing :D
Willie is so authentic I love it! He’s one of those that force the interviewer to bring out their their most genuine self. Lovely!
New pot variety, Colbert Lavender! Stony but still allows in depth discussion. I'll recommend it to our local dispensary owner. Great interviewStephen....
Love this man! ❤️❤️. Thanks Willie for Everything you’ve done & continue to do! GO BETO! #Willie2020. 😁
Simple music can make you sing simple hug can make you feel better simple things can make you happy, i hope my simple Hello brings smile to your face!....
love the man.
Willie’s Reserve is on sale at my dispensary in CA right now...and yeah, it’s as legendary as it sounds. 🤣
Wish I still lived in CA. instead of booze gugging, gun toting, cigarette smoking AZ.
Luna Azule LMAO girl I feel you, I grew up in Scottsdale
Thanks. When my son said "let's visit Tombstone" I didn't know he meant the entire state was one.
Kirsten S. Cool
Kirsten S. Oh man, you're so lucky! :) I hope to be able to try Willie's line before I die! Legalization sure isn't happening fast enough; although I'm happy it's at least happening!

I wish I could handle weed and experience only the benefits the way Willie Nelson does, I’d still be smoking.
Friend Wilkins You don't know very many people over 60, do you?
U think thats what 60 looks like?!? U can deal with stress without using substances
Sorry if I offended anyone. Didn't realize my goofy, light-hearted comment would cause certain people to experience emotional distress.

We still love you here in San Antonio Texas, Willie!!! ❤️ and always will!!!
Good, pleasant interview ! You're definitely forever !! We love you Willie !!
What a lovely, lovely man! I mean Willie, of course. Colbert has his moments, too.
One of the best shows yet! Got to love Willie and got to love Stephen!

Really? where you'd hear or read that?
off the camera, yeah
Willie Nelson was old when I was in my 20's. Now that I'm in my 60's, I'm catching up!
Willie's definitely in my top 5 of people I'd like to share a joint with. What a guy.
Willie Nelson, Betty White, Woody Harrelson, Bill Burr and Colbert...
Aw man, Willie's face when he sees that clip of his old pal Francis.
Lukas, (Willie's Son) Jonny Burke Alex aka Shakey Graves and I all grew up together. Miss my TX/TN roots, miss home. Love you Willie! Always an inspiration.
Hes at the top of my all time lengends in my lifetime. Thanks Willie, Love you
Willies a Legend 😂💨
Go Beto!
I want Willie to live forever
pun?
Listening to a wise man. This was so beautiful.
Gawd... this was a fun to watch interview
That can’t be Willie’s bus...you can see!

Willie always takes us higher!!!!
Keep Rocking Willie 🎸
My man. American Treasure. Texas for Beto. Willie for President.
I was smoking a joint with an old guy I had just met at a gas station in New Braunfels tx and this dude was pretty chill I think we had around 5 blunts(road trip so I had a shit load rolled) and when the dude left my friend came up to me and asked if I was just smoking with willie nelson...turns out I smoked with willie nelson.
I'm with Mr. Nelson
I'm a big fan.
gina wylie Me too
I guess I can official consider myself old because I remember the name and performer Tex Ritter.
I only remember that John Ritter was his son.
I saw him perform, so I am!
Same. :)

I have had some of that Willie's reserve it's some strong herbs man
'Bladder-full-in Putin"! LOLOLOL! (7:04) Stephen, how did you miss that?!
great ..love willie
💖I wish I could see him sing in person just once in a lifetime ... i would cry.. if that comes true
Willie is 85 years old here. God bless him. I hope I'm that alive at 85, it's a VERY rare thing to see.
Where's the joint?
🚬
one of the great, classic artists of our time
That is one thoroughly relaxed dude right there
Willie Nelson is a national icon~!
I love the statement about going to space lol!
When you get into your 80s you don’t care what people think anymore. Willie has made millions and some haters won’t change his life
My fathers favorite! He’d enjoy this segment!
"No. I've been there."
Touché!!!!!
that was really wonderful. i grew up listening to him. glad he is still living his best life :) xo
I like how Willie's demeanor takes Jimmy's energy down a notch, making Jimmy more bearable as an interviewer.
My husband and I saw Willie probably fifteen years ago...he was so freaking funny - it was a great show 😉!
Willie is sharp as a tack at 85. How is that even possible? Respect!
Sure would love to smoke weed with Willie, of course it would have to be Willie’s Reserve, Willie would smoke me under the table for sure!
It cannot get better than this!!!!!
I love Willie Nelson!
He may have been there a time or two.
Never enter the Willie-van... You'll get a contact high from being within 50ft of the thing...😂😂😂😂

Love. You Willie!
Trigger is awesome but, It would just be another guitar if it weren't for all the soul behind it! It's Willie's get up and go!
