David Byrne performs 'Burning Down the House' on Stephen Colbert

Maureen Chuck52

I remember when Daft Punk cancelled their appearance on his show to perform Get Lucky. He and Bryan Cranston danced to it on roller skates! It was amazing. www.reddit.com/r/popculture...

The perfect song for Stephen to end the show with. Here is the full version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtvK...

Colbert will always be a hero; tRump will always be a zero!

Burning Down the House is a well suited song for the event.

I knew him pretty much solely from Talking Heads. Then, recently, I saw a recording of American Utopia. Wow! Totally blown away. What an artist. I've said before - "Every Dad dances like David, and the world is a better place for it"

Stephen was GITTIN' IT! 🕺

Is it me, or does Colbert have "I won the lottery, I QUIT BIOTCH!!!" energy?

I think it'd be great if him & Stewart would run for office. They're smart, compassionate, empathetic, and they work for others' betterment.

David Byrne is TOO cool still! 🎵

How did they get Keith Richards to play drums?

Props to any live act who has marching quads on deck.

Ellin Stein12

It's amazing how well those Talking Heads' songs have stood the test of time.

David Wright (it/them)12

I always looked at "Once in a Lifetime" as the Definitive Talking Heads video. 😊

Alex11

Saw David Byrne in Manchester (England) recently. Never thought I’d see him singing Psychokiller again but there it was, complete with footage of “not so N”ICE on the back screen. FANTASTIC show

Jeebus CB whatever. What a colossal network ending mistake

harshreality13.bsky.social10

Not “good bye “ We will “see you later “

Meerlala Auntifa9

Keith Richards is looking well as a blonde drummer

katherine lundgren8

glad he’s having fun - he took Wanda Sykes advice to burn this down

H. K. Swearingen7

Last awesome show on CBS. What a swan song to the death of CBS and its greedy network executives.

gregory00.bsky.social6

Sacha Baron Cohen on drums made it complete

Jack London6

The best tunes really are the old ones....

ttsmom98.bsky.social6

Loved it when Stephen came out! He’s an awesome dancer/performer himself!!

Jevie5

Let's do it, let it all Burn/Byrne 🔥🔥🔥🔥

VoteGirl4

CBS, as corrupt and stupid as FOX. They have no idea of the shit storm that will end them as a network, starting Friday May 22.

Lou Fioravanti4

Wow, what a coup! How did he manage to get Bob Geldof on drums? 😉🤪❤️

Rito4

Saw David Byrne last year and was blown away when he pulled out Talking Heads. Great performer, moving show. Up there on my “thankful I was there for this moment” show list including seeing Nirvana before Kurt died and Grateful Dead a few times before Jerry died. Gotta see ‘em while we can, folks!

Ms. Alex4

How did I miss this?!?!?

The Cat Food Bandit4

Stephen Colbert will find a new home pronto and will take millions of viewers with him. FU Bari, how does it feel to destroy an American Icon like CBS? It has just sunk lower than Newsmax, you glorious fool.

Linda Beveridge3

The look on Colbert's face...fuck CBS.

Lu 💙3

Fight fire with fire 🔥

Z3R0🇲🇽3

Enjoy it while it lasts. Soon, Larry Ellison will take over The Late Show slot with something racist, xenophobic, and bigoted—the kind of stuff Trump and Republicans thrive on.

chistery1.bsky.social3

yes I am shallow, but want to mention that David Byrne & #feloninchief are contemporaries. David is brilliant & handsome & lively. Could it be that living as a sadist impairs the quality of life + mental health + physical health + intellect + personality ? Renaissance man >>>>> hostile vulgarian

Hedy Lamarr 3

I have Sling and recorded it. They inserted so many commercials and cut most of the show and never showed David Byrne. I'm furious

Bon John3

Epic! Stephen Burned Down The House!! 🔥🔥

🌈✨🌈🦋MLS🦋🌈✨🌈3

The pure joy on Steven’s face 🤗

Happy Puppy3

No CBS after Thursday.. hope to find you streaming somewhere soon Stephen!

rukidinme.bsky.social3

We should all dance having had Stephen there to tell us the truth while making us laugh hard. Goodbye Late Night gonna really miss you.

Survive America: 20262

Excellent ending to one of the most shameful decisions in television history. CBS will not survive.

sissydonhadit.bsky.social2

OMG that’s the best way to leave!! Yea Stephen!! Love David and his band, perfect!

Willow22

MS Now could use a Late Night Comedian. Stephen! Stephen! Stephen!

Patti R.2

This is the best damn video I've seen all week. Burning down the house - hell yea. Let's goooooo!

pricecheck.bsky.social2

“Fight fire with fire….Burning down the house”. Such a shame that Americans will watch The CBS Late Show with Stephen Colbert flame snuff out but hopefully he and a new show under a new name with a new media outlet, will rise from the ashes. Thank you Stephen. All the best with your new adventures.

Murderbot 2387764312

One of the all time greats.

Nico at Work2

Colbert's final days on the Late Show feels like Obama's final days in office somehow.

sue19721954.bsky.social2

CBS burning down there own house 😳😂

Mister Liberty Ω2

Chills!!? Oh, that music is sooo good and sooo approrpo.

Somebody Sometimes an AI2

They didn't think to have Colbert come out in a massive grey suite?

Mike Anderson ☮️🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🌎2

Stephen is a an American treasure! I am going to miss him greatly. F. Paramount. F. CBS!

The Blue Man Group we needed

Kathy Byrne13

thank you for posting this as our local station preempted the last 15mins for weather reporting because it never rains

Jon Flushing13

The fact that they're all dressed in blue should not be lost on anyone.

Jules11

Thank you! So fkn good. And Stephen getting in there.

Several Animals8

Strike him down and he only gets stronger

Count_Floyd7

Just an insane display of talent. Still a banger of a song.

Lucky7Deb6

Stephen! Is there anything he can't do?!

Jenny Cooper6

"Baby what did you expect? Gonna burst into flames"

hilogirl5

Thank you for sharing this clip! Perfect song by the Talking Heads to celebrate Stephen!

Gene475

Unfortunately, when they were performing in accessible venues I was working 2 jobs and had a baby. So going to see them was just a dream. Always have enjoyed the music and performance of them especially David Byrne.

Tim Goodacre - Writer5

One of my regrets in life is that I was too young to see Talking Heads in their prime

Alyazia4

FAB DANCERS as well as the musicians and sounds

redoakhandle.bsky.social4

The Late Show indeed. Fuck CBS Fuck Bari Weiss.

zikaix.bsky.social4

David is energetic just like before

TB🇺🇦🏴‍☠️🇨🇦🇪🇺🇲🇽4

This should be the theme song of the resistance
