Last things first tonight. Talib Kweli was the musical guest tonight. From his album Gutter Rainbows, he performed "Cold Rain". He also was nice enough to give Stephen a cap which improved Stephen's already ruggedly handsome good looks.
And just a quick note about our former president, George W. Bush. He was among the people at a Texas Rangers baseball game who helped set a Guinness world record for most people wearing their sunglasses at night. Stephen called this the Greatest Contribution yet for Bush. Well done, sir, well done.
And the suspense is growing, the anticipation is getting unbearable. You probably all are aware that Stephen hasn't had a hit song since he recorded, "Charlene, I'm Right Behind You." That's about to change. Stephen has been meeting with and interviewing Jack White of Third Man Records. Well, Thursday will be the premiere of Stephen's new hit song. He will be singing with The Black Belles because Jack thought it would be a good idea to pair Stephen with some real musicians. (That seemed uncalled for, but I'll let it ride since Stephen did not make a big deal out of it.)
It's not all that surprising that he would agree to produce the hit song for Stephen. When Stephen was interviewing Jack White, Stephen grilled him about his musical heroes. Jack rattled off name after name, and if you watch the video of the interview, I think you will agree that he did say Stephen Colbert. Although Stephen is thinking this will win him at least one Grammy, Jack White would not commit to that, but I think it will be one of Stephen's biggest hits yet, so a Grammy is not out of the question.
