On Tuesday night, radio host Howard Stern stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in support of his new book, Howard Stern Comes Again.
Prior to his interview, Stern entered New York City’s Ed Sullivan Theater as Stephen Colbert‘s house band, Jon Batiste and Stay Human, worked through Elvis Costello & The Attractions’ “Radio Radio”. Funk/jazz guitarist Cory Wong and former Tedeschi Trucks Band bassist Tim Lefebvre were also in attendance as special house band guests on the late-night television show.
With The Late Show house band amping up the crowd, Stern walked beside Batiste and banged away on the grand piano. From there, Stern took the mic and led the band through a comical, impromptu song with made-up lyrics in promotion of his new book. Stern exclaimed, “I wrote a book. I wrote a book. It’s a very good book. I’m here to promote,” as the musicians laughed along with the audience.
