Paul McCartney was one of the special guests during the farewell episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”, which aired last Thursday, May 21.
The musician was the final and main attraction of the show’s last episode, and his appearance carried a nostalgic tone, since the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York was where the Beatles made their first appearance on American television in 1964.
“When you close your eyes, can you hear the girls screaming?”, Colbert asked McCartney.
“Yes,” he replied, sending the audience into loud cheers and applause.
McCartney recalled the night the Beatles made their debut in the U.S. and shared what still stands out in his memory six decades later: “I will always remember the girls on the balcony,” he said, prompting even more screams from the audience.
Besides the screaming girls, another funny detail stayed in his memory; the musician remembered how the band looked after visiting the theater’s makeup department: “We went downstairs, and the girls did our makeup, and it was bright orange,” he recalled.
To close the program in style, McCartney led an emotional musical performance on stage and sang “Hello, Goodbye” alongside Colbert himself, the entire cast and crew of the “Late Show,” and musicians Elvis Costello, Jon Batiste, and Louis Cato.
