If that's what you like, then why don't YOU get yourself a different show. Like Stephen, many viewers (varying ethnicities) find this authentic, roots music to be a refreshing change and they welcome it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the feeling that "attracting any black audience" is your least, if any at all, concern. Lastly, what's zero chemistry to some people (namely you) may very well simply be unusual, or interesting chemistry to someone else.

+Ox Nard Lol, and that certainly is your right as a viewer, but many of us watch for Colbert and the band as well as the guests. That is our right as well. In fact, if it were only Colbert, some of us would not be watching. Why would you find a different show? Why would Stephen find a different/rock band? Given that Jon has made very clear in many of his interviews and his podcasts his feelings about his music and the intent behind it, (in which he said nothing about a paycheck), I feel that he was being humorously sarcastic here. Stephen has a way of doing the same thing from time to time-maybe in a different way, but same thing. I agree with the last part of your comment in that I think a lot of it is a matter of perception.

I was laughing the entire time! Jon is a blessing to the world!

If Jon asks you a question, how should you respond? *YEAH!*

Jon Batiste is so chill you could use him to store penguins.

well it's 2021 and this is so fun as I always wondered about the beginning of Jon working with Stephen. I can see Jon is unsure of how Stephen will spin stuff...like face piano & swamp ass, LOL !!! so saying I love you means I trust you & that just isn't possible before one gets to really know the other...I wonder if his wife, Evie knows exactly how Stephen's mind works. But comparing Jon then to today, well he has soared to obtain all sorts of awards & public admiration. Fun stuff these two, but Jon's music is spectacular.

This is so hilarious! I so want to go to New Orleans....meeting Jon's relatives.

I have never seen this video of Jon & Stephen back in 2015... I can see Jon is true to his heart and his music back before the Stephen show. Jon was not easily swayed by big money, and fame but went for the heart and soul. It's now mid-June/2021 and you can see Jon & Stephen truly love each other... GOD I LOVE when this happens, as Jon rose far above Stephen in fame, but Jon now remains loyal to Stephen. Together they lift all of us around the world. LOVE, it works. Sincerely Dan

You know what Jon has that Paul didn't? Charm. Paul could play like no body's business but Jon has this natural "cool" about him. He's less of a man who will laugh at anything Steven says and feels more like an artist having a good time. He's a perfect fit for Steven

YEAH.....OOOOOHHHH!!!

I can't wait!! For a classic collaboration with him and Wynton Marsalis. It would be epic!!!!
