David Byrne performs 'Burning Down the House' on Colbert

Maureen Chuck81

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!

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! 🕺

Testy Testerson III, Esq23

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

Sue Hynes22

David Byrne is TOO cool still! 🎵

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

How did they get Keith Richards to play drums?

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

Ellin Stein15

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

David Wright (it/them)15

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

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

Jeebus CB whatever. What a colossal network ending mistake

harshreality13.bsky.social11

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

Meerlala Auntifa9

Keith Richards is looking well as a blonde drummer

Ecoprairiepainter8

I can’t believe he got David Byrne!!! What a great show. JFC Colbert will be missed! And so starts my boycott of CBS after Thursday.

katherine lundgren8

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

gregory00.bsky.social7

Sacha Baron Cohen on drums made it complete

sissydonhadit.bsky.social6

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

Lu 💙6

Fight fire with fire 🔥

mkn68.bsky.social6

Damn he is so gonna be missed.

Jack London6

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

Linda Beveridge5

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

Jevie5

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

Bon John5

Epic! Stephen Burned Down The House!! 🔥🔥

🌈✨🌈🦋MLS🦋🌈✨🌈5

The pure joy on Steven’s face 🤗

Rito5

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!

Patti R.4

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

Z3R0🇲🇽4

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.

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? 😉🤪❤️

sue19721954.bsky.social4

CBS burning down there own house 😳😂

Happy Puppy4

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

Survive America: 20263

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

pricecheck.bsky.social3

“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.

@OldAndCranky3

I’ve been in love with David Byrne since about 1977. My adoration remains undiminished.

Murderbot 2387764313

One of the all time greats.

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

Nico at Work3

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

Mister Liberty Ω3

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

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

Willow22

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

baghutch.bsky.social2

Do Tina, Jerry, and Chris get any $$ while he does this? Documentary Now!s finest moment remains unbeaten.

Jim2

I saw David Byrne live last year and it is in the top five shows I have ever seen.

JesusWasaLiberalDemocrat2

Colbert ain't too shabby either.

robin~eldest daughter~father figure~I protect the family2

THIS is the BEST!!!!!!!!!! What are we going to do without him?

William Logan2

Everyone is wearing BLUE for a reason.

TeeGee2

He was great at Coachella too!

DukeDraper2

#WeThePeople are coming for you MAGAts.

Somebody Sometimes an AI2

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

No, uh2

Looks like Keith Richard’s playing the drums at :25.

Mike Anderson ☮️🇺🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🌎2

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

deb4detroit2

Go Stephen! 🕺 Go Stephen!🕺 Go Stephen!🕺 Go Stephen!🕺

petrachor.bsky.social35

Wow...what a performance of pure joy. Thanks for sharing. Makes me feel reallllllll old though. Part of the college soundtrack, ergo part of the life soundtrack.

Jon Flushing21

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

peter-l.bsky.social17

The Blue Man Group we needed

Kathy Byrne15

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

Jules13

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

Several Animals10

Strike him down and he only gets stronger

Count_Floyd9

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

hilogirl8

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

Jenny Cooper8

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

Lucky7Deb7

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

Gene477

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 - Writer7

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

redoakhandle.bsky.social7

The Late Show indeed. Fuck CBS Fuck Bari Weiss.

Alyazia6

FAB DANCERS as well as the musicians and sounds

TB🇺🇦🏴‍☠️🇨🇦🇪🇺🇲🇽6

This should be the theme song of the resistance

Wow, his voice is still amazing.

Elaine Miller💙💙2

This was soooo amazing! Loved it…Stephen joined in as well. 💫💙

Leftylou2

David Byrne still rocking. Hasn’t missed a beat.

gtardifraser.bsky.social2

Keith Richards on drums right before Stephen enters is the chef’s kiss.

gml1227.bsky.social2

Awesome!!! And among the many things Colbert can do…. Who knew he could dance????? He has burned CBS down!

gbsho.bsky.social2

Love this! So dynamic. Quirky as ever. Beautiful.

gregory00.bsky.social2

Sacha Baron Cohen on drums sure did his part

debge.bsky.social2

How can you not smile watching this 💙💙💙

Very strange that Byrne guy.
