Stephen shares two special announcements. First: our dear friend Jon Batiste has decided to leave the show after seven seasons, to continue to share his art with the world. Second: our incredible band members are staying and will now be called The Late Show Band, led by our new band leader, the amazing Louis Cato! #Colbert #TheLateShowBand #LouisCato
Um, so who are Stay Human?

o7 Jon Batiste
ReplyI will miss Jon so much! He is so attractive and handsome
ReplyThis is so incredibly sad, Jon brought such a beautiful positive energy which helped the show feel so fresh and alive. One thing I will miss is all of the little tunes he would play in the background, I remember once he played the rugrats theme and another time he played the melody of walk idiot walk by the hives when Stephen was monologuing about someone being silly.
Jon was such a strong foundation to this show that it genuinely feels hard to imagine him not being permanently apart of it anymore. This no sleight against Louis Cato either, he is brilliant (as is the rest of the band) but man… those are some huge shoes to fill!
Jon if you happen to be reading this, thank you for being so wholesome and awesome over the years. You are an inspiring person and a great man, good luck out there!
ReplyI knew this was happening. Jon B takes very deep breaths, his rhythm and timing can`t properly be measured in a daily production manor. I remember when Ozzy split from Black Sabbath, then we had two amazing bands that no one could have imagined! I digressed and forgot what I was talking about…
