Key Discussion Points & Insights

Behind the Scenes: Booking & Big Guest Stories

• Surprises for the Audience:
  • Stephen and Becca discuss the logistics and joy of booking surprise guests, reminiscing about when Paul McCartney appeared unannounced and the audience’s stunned reaction.

    “...the greatest of all time we was when Paul McCartney was on and the audience didn’t know...” – Stephen ([04:26])

• Colbert’s Approach to Guest Booking:
  • Stephen explains his minimal involvement in booking, preferring to trust his team but sometimes making key suggestions.

The Infamous “Corn Bit” & Neil Young’s Interview

• Setting the Stage:
  • The episode flashes back to an interview with Neil Young, famously interrupted by Michael Brum in a corn suit—a farcical nod to Young’s environmental activism, especially his opinions on GMOs.

Neil Young’s Environmental Advocacy

• GMOs and Monsanto:
  • Young passionately voices his concerns over genetically modified organisms and corporate agriculture:

    "That must be a Monsanto study that didn't notice the terrible diseases and all of the things that are happening... 38 countries around the world banned GMOs... They want to protect [their people]." – Neil Young ([19:53])

  • The segment turns surreal when "Man Corn" (Michael Brum) confronts Young, blending Colbert's signature satire with real debate.

Neil Young on Love, Music, and Albums

• On Love and Fear:
  • Colbert probes Young about his ideals, leading to a brief but touching dialogue:

    “Especially in love and no fear.” – Neil Young ([14:05]) “Not me. I love love.” – Neil Young ([14:41])

• On Musical Evolution:
  • Young discusses his “Earth” album—remakes of earlier songs layered with natural and urban soundscapes, representing humanity's place within the planet’s ecosystem.
  • Offers strong critiques of modern music consumption:

    “Albums are not happening anymore… only one song is good on the album... there’s more to love than the first kiss.” – Neil Young ([18:28], [18:50])

The Pono Player

• Neil promotes his high-fidelity, triangular music player—and jokingly accepts Stephen's comparison to Toblerone:

  “It’s even better than a Toblerone.” – Neil Young ([18:18])

Personal Neil Young Anecdotes

• Stephen’s Heartwarming Story:
  • Colbert shares a moving tale involving Neil giving him a performance idea, which leads to Stephen’s son playing “Heart of Gold” on a Martin guitar hand-painted and gifted by C.F. Martin himself.

    “I almost left my body while my son played me Heart of Gold by Neil Young.” – Stephen ([11:23])

  • This prompts a sweet discussion of favorite Young songs (“Heart of Gold” and “Harvest Moon”).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

  “Love is in the music. That’s just a word that needs to come around again big time.” – Neil Young ([14:26])

• On the Dangers of GMOs:

  “I don’t generally like to label things, but you’re so dangerous. And you’re dangerous to me personally and my family and the rest of the planet.” – Neil Young, to Man Corn ([21:01])

Transcript

[A]

Hey, everybody. Stephen Colbert here about to read the copy for our sponsor. This is from our friends at Wonderful Pistachios. And I was the wonderful pistachio spokesman for years. Yeah, I have a real close association with nut meat. Okay. You know what they say when they reach for a snack? Don't hold back. And that's exactly the approach with Wonderful Pistachios. The don't hold back snack. These little wonders are so tasty, it feels like getting away with something. But surprise. Each serving has 6 grams of protein and 0 grams of regret. That's right. No guilt. Just glory, glory in our nuts. Whether it's a satisfying crack of in shell pistachios, and that's capitalized in shell, or the smooth, instant gratification of no shells. No judgment. That's just it. Just eat. No judgment. I take issue with one thing. It's instant gratification. It's super tasty smooth.

[B]

It's a hard nut smooth.

[A]

Exactly. I mean, even out of the shell, it's still a nut.

[B]

We can't disparage the nuts. You.

[A]

I'm not disparaging the nut. I'm describing the nut.

[B]

Don't disparage any flavors.

[A]

I'm not. I am celebrating the pistachio right now. I'm on board. I love pistachios. I love. I love crushed pistachio. Like a pistachio crusted trout. Oh, unbelievable. Instead of a trout amandine, a trout pistachio. Fantastic. Enough butter? Who cares?

[B]

Very good.

[A]

And I love pistachio ice cream.

[B]

Have you had the sea salt and vinegar? Wonderful pistachio. It's delicious. I get them.

[A]

I didn't even know I get them.

[B]

Before the softball games.

[A]

But that's. You see, it's been a while since I've been the spokesman for wonderful pistachios. I didn't realize we'd achieved new pistachio technology.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Wow. Wonderful pistachios has every snack style covered. Right now. There's an obsession with jalapeno lime. There is an obsession session. It's almost a disorder. It's spicy, it's zesty. It's basically a flavor roller coaster in a nut. Snacking on the go. Grab a bag of no shells. Feeling contemplative and want to work for it a little. So earning it, they're saying if you want to earn your nut, crack open those in shell beauties. Either way, it's snacking like a champ. So the next time hunger strikes, don't hold back. Unless it's a hunger strike. And Then it's important that you do, because whatever you're doing that for, I'm sure it's a worthwhile cause. Snack like you mean it with wonderful pistachios. Visit wonderfulpistachios.com to learn more.

[B]

That was a wonderful.

[A]

I wonder what more there is to learn. We just told them so much. We just told them so much about pistachios. But evidently, there's a whole other world. There's an unexplored vista.

[B]

They got a bunch of flavors. They got dill pickle, jalapeno lime, as we learned, smoky barbecue. There's a lot of different flavors.

[A]

Wow. And I would not disparage any of them.

[B]

No, no, no.

[A]

Bring it on.

[B]

Nothing bad to say.

[A]

Nut me, nut, nut me with nut meat.

[B]

We're nut.

[A]

No, we got nothing but nut. Nutty, nutty, nutty, nutty. Talk about, talk about, talk about, talk about nutty. Good. Whether it's a date night, a special.

[B]

Event, or just another Tuesday, our over 800 stylists are here to help you look and feel your best. We're about personalized style that fits your life. Made for real life moments. Maurices. Hey, everybody. You're listening to the Late Show POD Show. I'm Becca. I produce the podcast, and I'm here with Stephen Colbert.

[A]

Hello, I'm Stephen Colbert and I host the Late show with Stephen Colbert. I also helped write it and I helped produce it.

[B]

You do, you do.

[A]

And my production company, Spartina Productions.

[B]

And you do the interviews, you help book, you do all the stuff.

[A]

I mean, I don't book people, but.

[B]

Sometimes you'll say, hey, what about that guy? And then I'll notice them on the grid. Yeah. You have a say in these things.

[A]

Yeah, I do. I try not to get my toe in the booking water. Cause they know what they're doing.

[B]

Yeah. And it's a puzzle out there. Yeah, it is. It's really.

[A]

It's Tetris trying to get everybody we want on the days they're available.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

One of my favorite things is when a surprise guest shows up. Like, we know that they're coming, but the audience doesn't know they're on that night because we're pre taping them for a subsequent night. The greatest of all time. There have been many great ones, but the greatest of all time we was when Paul McCartney was on and the audience didn't know that Paul McCartney was gonna be there. We had a lovely show, but then we had an additional guest, and the intro was, you know, my next guest. Because he's Paul McCartney and they had to check the building for structural damage afterwards. I can't imagine people were openly weeping that they got to be there when McCartney was there.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

I wouldn't mind another bite at that.

[B]

After.

[A]

I think I could do a better interview than that.

[B]

And he's gotta do the questionnaire. He's gotta do the questionnaire.

[A]

He kind of does.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

We're ready for you, Paul. All right, well, I have a quiz for you.

[A]

Scared, Paul? Yeah, scared of the questionnaire.

[B]

Sandwich. All right. Yeah, it's not that. Okay. It's a tough question. Okay.

[A]

Veggies can be a veggie sandwich.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. He's all into that.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Famous vegetarian avocado toast. Yeah. Yum. With a little lepo pepper on there. Delicious. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, a tomato. Just a tomato.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Summertime. Just a big old juicy beef steak. Tomato sandwich. Like a really thick, like a. I'm Talking like a 3 quarter inch slice of beefsteak tomato, salt and pepper on like very like Pepperidge Farm thin.

[B]

Yeah. You know what? You know what Maya turned me on to? Maya is one of the writer assistants here. Grilling a piece of sourdough bread on the grill on a hot open grill. Pureeing, like grating a really good tomato in a cheese grater with like salt and a little bit of vinegar. Putting that onto the bread and then getting some like spicy green, like jug sauce on top of that.

[A]

What do you think?

[B]

With joogues, it's like parsley and it's like parsley, cilantro, like pepper. It's spicy. It's a really spicy, thick little green sauce, delicious little appetizer.

[A]

So it's like a bruschetta.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. But the. Great. Okay. Anyways, I'm going off track, but I have a quiz for you.

[A]

I think you're right on track.

[B]

I think you'd like it. I think you'd like that dish. It's a good tomato bread. Tomato bread combo. Okay. But today on the podcast, we have an interview. I want to see if you remember who the guest is.

[A]

Oh, I love these quizzes.

[B]

We're going back into the vault with this one.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

This interview was interrupted by Michael Brum, who walked onto stage in a corn suit.

[A]

It's Neil Young.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

There aren't that many times when a guy dressed as an ear of corn walks on stage and then he gets so mad that he exploded. And we were hit with a lot of popcorn.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Like a crazy. I don't even know if it was legal. How Much popcorn. Because it had an explosive charge behind it. Like, it literally fired popcorn.

[B]

It was a lot of popcorn. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, great. Yeah. This is Neely.

[A]

Was he on to. Like, what was he on for?

[B]

He was on to both promote Pono, the MP3 player. He was.

[A]

His triangular MP3 player. Yeah.

[B]

Yes. Which you said looked like a Toblerone.

[A]

It does.

[B]

And then the Korn bit was all about. He is just really adamantly against GMOs. And so he wanted to talk about it.

[A]

Oh, so this was a genetically modified ear of corn that had been mixed with man DNA.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

And so it was an ear of man corn.

[B]

You asked him, hey, like, what's going on with these GMOs? You're not against them. And then Michael Brum comes on, one of the producers here at the show, writer at the show, and says, what's up with that, Neil Young? What do you have against me? And he gets really angry at him. And I think there might have. Tom mentioned there is something about a punch that maybe happened, but I think I edited out. But it's. I. I went to see Neil Young last week and he talked about it. No, I was just on the elevator with Cohen or with Brahm, someone at the show, and they're just like, oh, is you waking? Oh, I saw Neil Young. And he said, you seen the corn bit? And I was like, oh, no, I hadn't seen Neil. I saw Neil at Forest Hill stadium. Okay, aside, 78 years old rock star, absolutely killing it. It was great. It was great.

[A]

He's continuing to rock in the free world.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

I'll tell you a quick Neil Young story, please. So first time Neil's on the old show, it was right after the correspondence dinner. And I go backstage and he wants to talk to me. I always go back and say, hey, just keep in mind I'm in character and he's an idiot. And just disabuse him of his ignorance and we'll have a lovely time. And he goes, hey, I want to talk to you. I want to ask you something, but I don't want him to know. And I know he meant the character. I said, okay, I won't tell him. And he goes, by the way, you can tell him I liked his speech. I'm like, oh, I'll tell him. I'll tell him. Thanks, I'm sure he'll like that. And I said, what's up? And he goes, but seriously, you can't tell him. I'm like, what is it? And he said, well, I want to do a song with you. I hear you play guitar. And I said, I can play like Froggy One Accord. And I can play like ADG whatever. Like I just play for my kids. And he goes, well, here's the song. The song is let's arrest the President for Lies. And I'm like, okay, am I sounding anything like Neil Young right now, by the way? I can't tell what I'm doing. But anyway, so I go, okay. So when we go do it, he says to the character, like, you know, I hear you play guitar. I said, well, I play a little, you know, I can play adg, you can play Frog One Court for my kids. That's about it. And then he goes, well, just hold on a d. Jang Jang Chat, rest, whatever. He sings the song, it gets my character upset. Show's over. Couple days later, I get a guitar in the mail from Mr. C.F. martin of Martin Guitars. Yeah, and it's a lovely little small like child size painted guitar. It's a full, full tuning. It's not like a step down tuning. It's a full tuning. Child's painting guitar and it's got a painting, it's a painting of Mr. C.F. martin. Like a, like a primitive painting of C.F. martin, his wife, his daughter and their dog out in the desert. And he's got a guitar in his hand and they're riding on horses and it's very, very sweet little sunset scene. And they all signed it, the whole family signed it. And there's a dog paw there and I love it so much. I'm like, oh my God, Martin sent me a Martin. At that point, I hadn't owned a Martin guitar. And I said, oh my God, I got a Martin from CF Martin. This is amazing. I love being on television. And my son Peter at the time was nine and he was just learning guitar, just starting. Now he's got a band and lives in Brooklyn and lives that life. But he was, he was playing the guitar. He was just starting the guitar and I brought it home that night and I said, hey buddy, let me show you something. Because he, he, he played a little, a little electric because the action was really good for his little fingers. So he playing a little electric. And I said, here's an acoustic guitar, you know, I got this, you know, and I said, I want you to, you know, you can use this. And he said, oh, okay. Oh, I think I know what I might play on that. And so he puts the strap over his shoulders, gets out his little notation book where he's noted, you know, he's written down the tabs for different various songs. And he starts playing Heart of Gold for me by Neil Young. And I almost left my body while my son played me Heart of Gold by Neil Young. And I said, buddy, there's no way you could possibly know this, but you're holding that guitar and playing that song for me because the man who wrote it asked me to play a guitar. And I said, I only play guitar for my children. And Mr. Martin heard that and sent me that guitar. I said, I don't know what to do with this feeling, but I want you to know that happened. So then later, later I tell that story to Crosby, Stills Nash, because they're on the show. Cool. And. And I said, I told him the whole thing about Neil. And they all go, yeah, stuff like that happens with Neil all the time. So anyway, that's my Neil Young. That's my Neil Young story.

[B]

Wow, Beautiful song. I was gonna ask you what your favorite Neil Young song is, but. Heart of Gold.

[A]

Heart of Gold. Yeah. Heart of Gold's pretty good.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Harvest Moon.

[B]

Yeah, that's my favorite.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah. There's something about Sweet. Just so beautiful. Yeah. We love you, Neil. Come on back, do the Colbert questionnaire. You're in great shape.

[A]

What are you afraid of?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. All right.

[A]

I'm sorry. It was McCartney who was.

[B]

Yeah, McCartney. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Well, just prove yourself braver than McCartney.

[B]

Yeah. All right. This has been another round of podcast introductions with Stephen and Becca. Thanks so much for listening.

[A]

Who are we introducing?

[B]

Neil Young.

[A]

Oh, this is Neil.

[B]

This is Neil on the Late Show POD show, interrupted by a late show Stafford dressed up as an ear of corn, which you won't be able to see on the podcast, but just know he's in a full suit of corn. And there you go.

[A]

Have a great weekend. Welcome back. My next guest is a music legend and a two time Rock and Roll hall of Fame inductee. His latest album is called Earth. Please welcome the great Neil Young. Nice to see you again, Neil. It's always nice to have you on.

[C]

Nice to see you too. Thanks for having me.

[A]

Neil, I like you. I like you because you are an unreconstructed, individualist hippie love booster. Do you believe in love?

[C]

Yup.

[A]

Still believe in the transformative power of love.

[C]

Especially in love and no fear.

[A]

Love and no fear. Okay. How come you think people don't talk about love much anymore, Neil? Like, there aren't even a lot of songs about, like, the power of love. People, like, talk about, like, men and women and everything, but like that, love itself is a powerful thing that can change the world. When. When you were coming up, that idea was associated to a lot of music acts.

[C]

Yes, it was. I don't know what happened, but I think love is still there. Love is in the music. That's just a word that needs to come around again big time.

[A]

People get embarrassed if you talk about love.

[C]

Not me.

[A]

No?

[C]

No. I love love.

[A]

Neil. Neil. It feels good. You're going on vac. Yeah, I'm going on vacation starting tomorrow. Love, Love, love, love. Yeah, love loves loving, Neil.

[C]

That'd be good.

[A]

I love you, Neil.

[C]

Hey. Thank you.

[A]

Are you feeling the burn?

[C]

I feel the burn big time.

[A]

Ok, Please forgive. Please forgive this question if this is an old settled thing. Are you an American citizen? Can you vote here?

[C]

No, absolutely not. I'm a Canadian. Yes.

[A]

I'm a neighbor.

[C]

I'm a neighbor.

[A]

You're a neighbor, You're a neighbor.

[C]

And as such, I am affected by what happens even though I live here.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Not only that.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You know. Is not the president of the United States the leader of the free world?

[A]

Well, your words.

[C]

I am the free world. Okay.

[A]

You're rocking the free world.

[C]

Yeah, we talked about that.

[A]

Yeah, we did talk about that.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, that was good.

[C]

I'm glad you understood me.

[A]

I did. Completely not in time to stop it from being.

[C]

No, I know. That's fine.

[A]

So let's talk about the entire earth right now, Neil. Can we do that? As long as we're talking about the free world. You've got a new album of songs you've recorded previously. It's called Earth. But you've taken songs from the last sort of 40 years of your career and you've re recorded them, but you've included earth sounds from like, animals, City sounds. Yes, Nate, just pure nature sounds of Earth. Us.

[C]

Us too. With our little car horns and everything in traffic.

[B]

Beep.

[A]

Why got a duck Quack.

[C]

Beep.

[A]

Beep.

[C]

We're all here together let's face it.

[A]

Again this is why I love you. We are all here together let's face it and so. And so. That's why you put that. You think that's part. That's a music.

[C]

Let's not forget about the vanilla. Vanilla singers in the corporate harmony.

[A]

What is a vanilla singer?

[C]

We have a hologram of the corporate harmony.

[A]

You are.

[C]

Yeah. No, they float above the stage in the live performance and tell everybody how good they are. Everything's fine. It's great. Very positive.

[A]

Yeah. Is that your message? That everything's fine, or do you think that's their message? Yes, but everything's not fine. You're saying.

[C]

Well, I'm saying what I'm saying in all these songs I've written for the last 40 or 50 years. I mean, I've written these songs and there's a new song on there, too. But, you know, like, most of the songs, they start in the 70s, 1970, and go all the way to now. I've been singing about the same thing. It's like I'm a broken record.

[A]

We looked it up. It was like 70 albums or something at this point.

[C]

700, I don't know, something like that.

[A]

And now. And they're. They're all available on. You don't like the itunes and the ipod and that kind of stuff. You got this thing called pono, which is your own music player.

[C]

Well, because I don't. It's not that I don't like them. It's just I can't play what I do.

[A]

What do you mean? We play music.

[C]

We play live music. And it has air and it has atmosphere and everything. And, you know, some of the songs might be longer than seven minutes or four minutes, and they don't have to fade out in between and come up and down. So, you know that we don't fit. Earth doesn't fit on the regular thing that everybody listens to today.

[A]

So what is this? It's not a. It looks like a Toblerone. It's not. What is this for your ears?

[C]

It's even better than a Toblerone.

[A]

Really?

[C]

Yes, it sounds.

[A]

You ever jammed a Toblerone in your ear, my friend? So. But you like album. Like, you like the whole album, people to get to listen to the whole album.

[C]

I missed a memoir. It said that albums are not happening anymore. It's all about albums being a ripoff. And only one song is good on the album. So that's all you need to get that is complete, you know, singles.

[A]

You put out singles back in the old day, didn't.

[C]

Yeah, 45, sure.

[A]

What's wrong with that? You can buy. You can buy an album. Buy an album on.

[C]

No, singles are great. It's just that there's more to it than singles. There's more to love than the first kiss. You're going on vacation now.

[A]

We'll be right back with more Neil Young. We're back here with our friend Neil Young. Now, Neil, you got. You're concerned about a lot of things going on in the world. And one of the things that you outspoken about is things like Monsanto and genetically modified organisms like, yes, I am Frankenfoods, stuff like that. Yes, Frankenfoods.

[C]

Yes, I care about the Earth. I care about the planet.

[A]

What's wrong with them?

[C]

What's wrong with them?

[A]

Yeah, what's wrong with them? I mean, a study just came out that says there's absolutely no nutritional difference between people in Europe who generally don't eat GMOs, and Americans who do eat GMOs.

[C]

That must be a Monsanto study that didn't notice the terrible diseases and all of the things that are happening. You're saying this stuff like that why these things have been banned throughout Europe and throughout the world. Why 38 countries around the world banned GMOs? They didn't just label them. They're concerned, those governments about the people that live in the country. They want to protect them.

[A]

So you're absolutely adamantly against GMOs?

[C]

I am, yes.

[A]

Hey, Neil Young. You with the hat. Hey, why don't you say that to my corn face? I'm sorry, Neil, this is one of our interns. It's a genetically modified ear of corn. He goes to NYU. You got something you want to say about the GMOs? I'm all here. I'm sorry, Bob.

[C]

What happened to you? You look terrible.

[A]

How do you think that makes me feel? Not good. And I can feel things. Love, happiness, the agony of knowing that I'm a man corn hybrid with no genitalia. I was born this way. Why do you have to label me?

[C]

Well, I don't generally like to label things, but you're so dangerous. And you're dangerous to me personally and my family and the rest of the planet.

[A]

Check out the niblets of Neil Young. I suppose if you had your way, I'd be bad in all the countries.

[C]

Who owns you?

[A]
