"The Late Show" Open Director's Cut

I love the Where's Wally element with Stephen and Jon!

best intro sequence in late night history. and stephen colbert isn't even in my top 3 late night host

I love this video so much. The tilt-shift inspires such a sense of wonder, and I find myself double-taking to see if they actually did use miniatures.

Strike Force Five brought me here! Thanks Stephen

Anyone watching this after hearing the latest episode of Strike Force 5?

I adore this opening sequence! All these years later, it still makes me smile.

What are the electric guitar chords for this.

I love this music

This band is truly something else!

I'm sure all the kids wanna watch Fox's offerings of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show so late instead of this.

I never thought I would miss this song but I really, really do.

what kind of musical genre is this piece of music?

PLAY THIS AS YOU SLEEP AND HAVE DREEEEEAMS.

What a slick entrance, I don't think anybody could beat Stephen Colbert.
.. at anything

wonder if there is anything similar for other cities

it's 2022 and this is still my fav late show intro

Looks like game footage from Sim City 12. In the best way possible.

This opening credit of new york brings back memories when I visited the city that never sleeps for the first time. I have to visit nyc again soon. thank you for the director of this short film🗽😘

Pls bring back the comment with all the time stamps... Can't seem to find it

Oh so listenable music. Thanks for the director's cut, and thanks for uploading.

These were the days !

My grandfather, born in 1893, grew up poor in NYC and rose (thank you, Cooper Union of yore!) to become CEO of ConEd. I remember mostly his laughter -- he had a beautiful laugh. (He died when I was six.) According to my mother, he loved the city's friction, its motion. This video captures both, superbly.

I had a pretty bad year. Hearing this song makes me smile, plus I love the toy looks of NYC.

who made this miniature new york , who is he man

Best intro of the LSSC ever.

This track is out of the world!!!

This is like an optimistic version of the house of cards opening and I love it!

Nice use of tilt-shift effect.

I wish you'd kept this intro! I love it!

Pretty awesome track.

Why does this video make me cry? Every time.

NYC. No place like home.

❤️❤️❤️🎶

Such a delightful theme.

I hope in the new era of post-pandemic, the Late Show will return to this beautiful opening montage.

Holy shit, this just made my day. This is art guys! All of this!

New York City and the United States had no idea what was coming five years later...

Yassssssssssssss!!!!
