    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!"

      If I could sing with John Prine I could die happy. ESPECIALLY this song! I know most of his top songs by heart. Although I love "Souvenirs", I can't sing that one in public because my throat closes up and I cry. That song is an arrow through my heart, as many of John's songs are. "Please Don't Bury Me" would be my first choice if I could sing with him. I think there should be a PSA on TV and radio using that song to promote organ donation!

  • @andrewhayes5130

    Speaking on his song "Illegal Smile," John Prine said it wasn't about drugs or drinking, it was about finding humor in life's sad, dark, and downright crazy moments, and that was the philosophy behind all his music. Anyone who shared Prine's cockeyed sense of humor knows that it's rare to hear it expressed in music, or anywhere in life, really. As a kid in a dead-end town, in a not-the-best family situation, John's music was always a comfort, reminding me that life was sad enough to make you laugh and funny enough to make you cry. He may have been the best friend I never met. Rest in peace, John Prine.

    When I saw this clip on the Late Show with SC, it was when John was in intensive care. Stephen announced the clip as being made in 2017 but never made it to air. He was honouring John, who was in the hospital, fighting for his life. As soon as I heard the song, I knew I had a connection with John. Up until this time, I had never heard of John Prine. After the clip was over, I replayed it and replayed it again and again. Then I went to RUclips to check out this guy, who I never heard of in my 76 years on this planet. What I found on RUclips made me feel like I was living under a rock, all my life. I mean, I played in a rock n roll band in the 60’s and stayed interested in the music scene, after I stopped and raised a family, so one would think, I would have come across the likes of John Prine. Alas, nope. After watching several RUclips videos of his performance, I could tell why I felt this connection, the moment I first saw/heard him play/sing. His style of play, his choice of composition for his songs are exactly what I love to play and (try to) sing to my audience of none. I am simply amazed I have wasted so much of my life, not listening to this wonderful talent. While he is gone, and I’ll never see him live, his legacy will live on in my feeble attempt to emulate his creative genius, as I will learn as many of his songs as possible.....and there are plenty to choose from....and play them for myself and audience of none! Thank you John Prine and may you entertain God, as you have done for so many, here on earth.

    WOW and WOW!!! First saw John Prine in 1978 at The Wax Museum in Washington DC and have been a fan since. Last saw him maybe a dozen years ago, could be less. At first show George Stark of the Washington Redskins was there. I remember that because he was so huge and it was such a small venue. I love John, and his songs, and the stories they tell. Stephen did a great job singing with him.

    You can tell that Stephen spent some time listening to John Prine throughout his life.

But you can tell from his comfort level with it that he's been a fan of the song for a long time.

    Times are hard right now and sometimes you find yourself stumbling around youtube looking for something beautiful to lift your spirits and what ends up happening is you wander into a place that lets loose the floodgates of emotions that you've been holding inside for far too long. I grew up hearing his songs, but never knew his name. I just knew the melodies and words he crafted into songs that made you feel. I can't stop feeling now. His music is magical... and now I feel broken. All the frustration and feelings of hopelessness and loss have come out of me. But, at least those feelings are on the outside now instead of eating me away.

  • @butterific
    @butterific 7 лет назад +47

    Two of my favourite performers in their own right. You can definitely tell the respect level Stephen has for John Prine though. He looks like a little kid up there, just grinning from ear to ear. I loved the little point to him when the song started, just showed the awe he had. I do believe that it has to do with the Chicago connection with Colbert spending much of his time there during college. Colbert really does have a lovely voice though, especially on the harmonies and harmonies are much harder to do than they would seem. I know a lot of great singers who just can't seem to really do harmonies as well as you'd think. I do know however that very early on in his college years Stephen was the lead singer in a cover band. So he's definitely been singing for a long time and is comfortable doing it in front of an audience (you do see a lot of it now on The Late Show now. He's just so damn talented, just seems like a really nice guy, I find him rather attractive and he's funny and smart. His wife definitely got a good one but hearing him speak of his wife he loves her more than anything in the world. John Prine is just as he always is. Grew up with him and have seen him live a number of times.Not quite the same since the throat cancer but a great songwriter is a great songwriter and frankly most of the best aren't the best vocalists in the world. I can't even begin to list off all of the fabulous Prine songs out there. Just such a clever songwriter.

    Not going to lie, I still miss John Prine, and it still hurts to know he's gone. But at least these videos help ease the sadness and bring a smile. What a story teller John was.

    Just saw this on replay tonight 3/31/2020. One of the nicest duets I've heard in a long time. Genuine, heartfelt singing of a tune ripe for the day we're in. Prayers going out to John Prine. Please God, don't take him this way. Thank you Stephen, for all you do.

    It's 2020, Grammy night. Next time you have him on treat us with "Some Humans Ain't Human" and "That's How Every Empire Falls". He was presented with the "Lifetime Acheivement Award" by Bonnie Raitt tonight.

    Mr. John Prine is the greatest story teller, poet, songwriter, wordsmith, mental picture painter ever born...Hundreds of America's Brave Submarine Sailors were indoctrinated in the 1970's by me...His biggest fan...I played and sang his songs every night in the ship's library...I was the only live entertainment...I had a captive audience...And they ALL fell in love with him...Just like me...I started writing songs and performing them because I wanted to be Just like Handsome Johnny...God Bless You John...God Bless Your new records to come...And I'll see you at the Tree of Forgiveness...Try the steak sandwich...Don't forget to tip the Bartender and waitress...I'll be here for eternity...Love Jesus with special guest Kelly Joe Ray...The singing submariner...

      I saw Steve Goodman and Bonnie Raitt in Iowa City in the late 70’s. Have you ever heard Steve’s song The Dying Cubs Fan Last Request? My mom was a die hard Cubs fan for over 50 years! If there is a heaven or afterlife of some sort, l sure as hell hope she saw them finally win the World Series!!!😊

    I have a folkie friend who sings this song and relates a story how a fan once asked him to sing the "Happy Enchilada" song.
    It took few minutes, but he finally determined she had misheard "half an inch of water" as" happy enchilada."
    This has been the "Happy Enchilada" song for me ever since.

    • @jaybreen1010
      @jaybreen1010 6 лет назад +2

      Interesting, your folkie friend is merely performing the live rendition John does, in which he tells that story within the body of the song. This happened to John Prine, rather than your friend. But a great story nonetheless.

    I'm sorry Stephen to hear your friend and singing buddy Mr John Prine passed away from COVID April 2020. I really enjoy listening to this song 'That's the Way That the World Goes 'Round'. Celebrating a life who brought much light to us through his lyrical story telling songs. And you as well Mr Colbert. Thanks for bringing great fun and entertaining to this crazy world via the Late Show.
