David Byrne and Stephen Colbert Bring “Burning Down the House” to a Joyful Boil on The Late Show

During the final week of The Late Show, David Byrne brought his “Why Is The Sky?” ensemble to the stage for a colorful, high-energy performance of the Talking Heads classic “Burning Down the House,” and by the end of the song, host Stephen Colbert had dressed himself in blue, joined the band, and danced like no one was watching. It’s the kind of late-night television moment that reminds you what the format is capable of when the right artist walks through the door.
