Stephen Colbert shares previously unseen duet with John Prine on LateShow
. The late night host shared a previously unaired performance from 2016, where he joined Prine for a duet of “That’s the Way the World Goes Round.”
“I’d like to take a moment right now to send out a personal message to a friend,” Colbert said. “Last week, our friend – and yours – the musical great John Prine was placed on a ventilator with coronavirus symptoms. My thoughts are with John and his wife, Fiona, and his family. And everybody out there touched by this virus.”
He added, “I’d like to share with you right now one of the happiest moments I’ve had on my show or any show. And that’s when John and I sung a duet in 2016 that we never broadcast, but we’d like to now.” In the clip, filmed in the Ed Sullivan Theater, Colbert asks to duet with Prine and then notes, “We’ll probably do this for the Internet. Unless, you know, something terrible happens and we have to cheer up the world on the TV show.”
