A SHOW ABOUT TO END FOREVER. AND ONE MAN IN A BLUE SUIT WHO REFUSED TO LET IT GO QUIETLY. Tuesday night on The Late Show, David Byrne walked out with his band \u2014 all in blue jumpsuits, wireless instruments, no wires, no walls \u2014 and tore into the Talking Heads classic \u201cBurning Down the House.\u201d The Ed Sullivan Theater shook. But something else was coming. Near the end of the song, Stephen Colbert appeared from nowhere. Blue suit. Matching the band. He didn\u2019t sing. He just\u2026 danced. The way someone dances when they know this is one of the last times. With his third-to-last episode ticking away, Colbert didn\u2019t crash the stage for laughs. He crashed it because after nearly 11 years and over 1,600 episodes, what else do you do? You burn it down. Not with sadness. With joy. And Byrne \u2014 73 years old, still moving like time means nothing \u2014 just smiled and let him in. The final episode airs tomorrow night. But something about this moment already felt like the real goodbye. \ud83d\ude22"},"content":{"rendered":"
