Thanks for your comment. I just watched the interview with John Oliver where he talks about this interview. I missed it originally so I came here to see it.

It’s shocking to now know that Stephen stayed with this interview with a ruptured appendix yet was so masterfully engaged.

Knowing Colbert was in agony while doing this interview makes it even better. He's an amazing host.

The music played by the Late Night Band from 13 seconds through 29 seconds into this video while Bradley Cooper is walking on stage is Leonard Bernstein’s theme to his Opera “Candide”, but played in an Afro-Cuban-Latin-Jazz Style, a la “West Side Story”. That is so cool!

I tip my hat to Louis Cato and The Late Night Band. They played Cooper on with a ‘talk show standard’, a passage from the overture to the operetta ‘Candide’. Bravissimo.

As a lover of classical music, I enjoyed the heck out of last year's Tar and am excited for Maestro and American Symphony. There's just something magical about a room full of people gathered to play and listen to complex and often wordless music. Maybe it's because it hearkens back to an era before the information overload of today, or because it evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time I never lived through. Whatever the reason, I hope movies and documentaries with music front and center keep getting made by people with passion and insight.

How on earth did Stephen pull this off? I do know. I've seen performers ready to die backstage, and go on and give not only a smooth, but an incandescent performance. Running on the energy of "Damn the pain I have to do this!" I was amazed the one time I did it myself. And in a later play clapped loudly for a fellow actor who did his damndest and had to give up onstage. He apologized to everyone as the EMTs carried him off the stage but we knew he tried his very best. "The show must go on" is not just a saying it is a battle cry. And a courage filled with love. I am glad Stephen is all right.

I've always loved Bernstein, his music, his conducting, etc. I'm thrilled Cooper made a film about him with all three of Bernstein's children giving it their blessing. I believe a large swath of the film was shot at their Connecticut home that Bernstein's children still use to this day. From the small teases I've seen, I think it looks great. I can't wait for it to come out on streaming service.

As a straight man, Bradley Cooper is one of those guys who, when women I know drool over him, I get it ☝️

I think as we move into a post-work world, where we are freed from "labor to survive" akin to how we were freed from "farm to survive" in the past economical revolutions, people will find "work" is not what they hated, but being forced to work on another's dreams is what they hated. Indeed, I think in a post-work society, that society will be drunk on work that stems from self and one's own dreams, and it's going to be so gorgeous to see. Actors and artists are sometimes lucky enough to be financially well off enough to give us a glimpse of this now, but soon, all of society will have this. It doesn't matter what your dream is, if it is super smol and hidden away in the forest, or an omniverse deity level dream, what matters is that it is truly yours. I will check this out, Limitless is one of my personal favorites.

I admire this guy so much -everything he does to make a great movie as well as acting 👏. An hes humble- a great man 🤝 Bradley cooper.

Steve was literally dying during this interview. I think he did the interview pretty well all things considered.

that intro music is from bernstein's candide. the first time i got to know it was as the dick cavett show theme. the second time i came across it was in a piece by mozart that was playing on the radio one day: it was the very same succession of notes but without the syncopation. i thought for sure the dcshow lifted the notes from mozart for its theme only to find out later that it was bernstein who had picked it up. so it just makes me wonder who mozart may have got it from.

Happy Thanksgiving Stephen Evie and Bradley (that was fun )😍

Hugging another man while dealing with a burst appendix is absolutely crazy. Good on you Colbert

I posted a video about Leonard Bernstein on my KZread channel that documents what he was really doing on stage as a conductor. There's a phenomenon in the press where they pick 2 or 3 classical musicians and designate them as SACRED COWS. No matter what the sacred cows do on stage, the press refers to it as "the greatest." Bernstein was one of those sacred cows. The television appearances he did show him adding trumpets to the orchestra with Beethoven's symphonies and then when the interviewer asks him about Beethoven's ability to orchestrate, he says " IT'S BAD. He has the trumpets sticking out and they're drowning out everybody else!"

Cooper's aging like fine wine. I first saw him on screen in "Failure To Launch" and thought he was an awful actor. It's amazing how far he has come since then.

He was meant to be one dimensional as a side kick in that movie. You are misled. He was always an amazing actor and a complete cinephile. His work in limitless was amazing. Watch him on inside the actors studio, he was always into the craft but took simplistic roles to get his foot in the door to make the movies he really loves as an intellectual.

Nice reference to Candide by the band.

I grew up when Bernstein was everywhere. He was in fact a genius at what he did, one of those things being womanizing. But hey, it "was the times", right?
