Maybe Dropping Soon with Jack White 

Ha, im pretty sure Barrett’s Privateers is one of Colbert’s favorite songs(I think he mentioned it in an interview somewhere?) and the look of sheer delight and amazement on his face at 4:00 when Jack White mentioned it is just so endearing. It’s that heart-leaping moment of ‘oh my god someone mentioned that niche thing I’m obsessed with’

How pleased Stan Rogers would be to know that the love for his creation has spread far and wide.

Only Jack White would know that Marcel Marceau had released a silent album as a funny novelty. I swear, he has the entire history of vinyl in his braincase.

Jack White is the only musician that I continue to be a fan of every time he reinvents his sound. He's just a badass blues wizard! Every jam is awesome!

I am DELIGHTED-in awe, actually-to have heard a STAN ROGERS tune sung on an AMERICAN broadcast, nearly 40 years after the late, great, BIG guy passed away on a Cincinnati runway (Air Canada 797). Not only was Stan Rogers's demise untimely, but his talent as a lyricist and musician hadn't extended to the popular airwaves anywhere; blessed were/are those who knew his indie-level music, then (and now)! I am old enough to recall my Dad's sadness when Stan Rogers passed away. I remember asking Dad to turn off Stan's "boring" records-both prior and after Stan's untimely passing; at times, I'd make fun of Dad for listening to (what I considered as) "Maritime" music. Dad was not from the Maritime provinces; he was born and raised out west, in British Columbia (small-town, northern BC, at that!). He was introduced to Stan Rogers's music when he began working (as a police officer) in Windsor (then Toronto), Ontario; among RCMP members from the Maritimes. Stan Rogers: was from HAMILTON, Ontario. His mother was from Nova Scotia. He sang about blue-collar life and matters. When my Dad passed away in June 2006 (at 56, as a consequence of C-PTSD): we scattered some of his cremains into a lake, with ... Stan Rogers music, playing loudly in the background. I hope both men have met and become familiar with each other, at The Big Beer Parlour in the Sky. Irony: Jack White is from Detroit. Detroit, MI: across the river from Windsor, Ontario🇨🇦-where my Dad met & married Mum, and I was born.

The ability to do improv is a sign of a quick mind... watching these two was pure bliss

HAHA, I love it when Jack White is in on a joke. He's so cool!

"which we cover on this, in silence" That's was so clever and quick. Bravo Mr White

A duet, on the fly?!! Soo smooth! Love ya both! ✌️

Jack White and Stephen Colbert are a winning combo! Quick minds that are easily able to trade rapid-fire quips. And the fact that they both know the lyrics to Stan Roger's classic shanty, Barrett's Privateers, is a thing of beauty!

Wait a minute!!! Can't possibly love these two any more and they go and sing Barrett's Privateers??? !!!! Have mercy on me!

3:57 *do you see the shock and JOY in Stephen's eyes as if he sees his fellow kinsman from the high seas from a previous life!?*

What?!!! That was awesome. You guys caught each other totally off-guard with Barrett's Privateers. The shocked expression on Stephen's face when Jack mentioned it was priceless. Y'awll mighta' dropped out of schtick right at that moment, but it was absolutely priceless.

Colbert squeezes the real Jack White out every time! What a bromance!!

Jack White and Stephen Colbert together is a great combo.

These are two glorious stage show nerds! What cosmic alignment brought them together for that last duet? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Colbert's face when Jack mentions "Barrett's Privateers".

I love when two gifted people have a conversation!!!!!

That last one was pure magic. I had never heard "Barrett's Privateers" before, but I'm hooked now.

I think we just got a glimpse of genius at work! I usually don't like these segments (I've seen only the movie ones -- I think the album angle is new), but this was one of the best pieces he's ever done. Jack White is surprisingly quick and clever--- he can certainly keep up with Stephen--- and Stephen was so genuinely surprised to find that common ground with him.

“who you gonna call?” “us” impeccable timing

Just saw Jack White in concert a few weeks ago. He is the most amazing performer I have seen since I saw the late great Freddie Mercury in his last show ever in Seattle in 1983. Do yourself a favor and go see this man live. I guarantee he will blow your mind.

Evan Peters' best character ever.

Hey I'd like to see Jack do the Questionnaire.

I saw jack white in halifax where he sang Barretts Privateers. He of course has some cape breton roots through his mother. A truly special moment with of course no phones. Only us 10000 people got to enjoy it

Love coming across videos you didn't know you needed. This is gold.

3:59 the way Stephen's expression changes, that's real genuine stupefied surprise

Love Stan Rogers, grew up listening to his albums after school on my grandmother's turntable, along with some records of Rita McNeil, and Anne Murray. The people of Kjipuktuk, Mi'qumaki (Halifax, Nova Scotia) adore the beautiful gem who is Stan Rogers. Thank you for honoring his memory!

Making a bunch of jokes about recording albums together and then ending the bit with an impromptu duet is **chefs kiss**.

Love these men! Singing Shanties! What a turn on!

I have been a Jack White fan for many years and have rarely seen him smile. This is a refreshing reinvention of a brilliant artist.

Love this! Need more of these two together.

OMG...I didn't think I could fan-girl over Jack White anymore until this! Jack and Stephen - a duet of one of my favorite shanties EVER! That was awesome! 🏴‍☠❤🏴‍☠❤🏴‍☠❤🏴‍☠❤🏴‍☠❤

Now to convince Jack White to release an entire album that is a mix of classic Sea Shanties and original compositions that SOUND like classic Sea Shanties.

Chris Hayes and Jack White on the same show. Yay!!

I don't know about anyone else, but I appreciated this thoroughly.

Jack should know “Barrett’s Privaters” he’s like 1/8th Bluenoser. You can see it in his hairitage.

Man I hope that Barrett's Privateers part wasn't a bit cause that was awesome, made me smile.

Colbert is just GREAT, this 2:38 was SUPER unexpected..

Jack White has the Blues 🎵

Is Jack White the love child of Sigourney Weaver and Stephen Colbert? 😂 I actually thought it was Sigourney in the photo. 🤣

This. Is. Fantastic. Love these Gents.

The more I see of Jack White the more I love the guy. Do yourself a favor and search for his cameo as Elvis in Walk Hard: The Dewy Cox story. He’s hilarious.

Sometimes I see that secret boyhood dream Stephen had of being a rockstar. It’s very sweet.

Omg I am in love with him and have been since I was 12. JW IS EVERYTHING. The shanty! Ah!

1:32 Lol, Jack is cool as a cucumber!

Wtf are the odds steven gets to do this song twice in one year???? Buble and white, couldn't be further from eachother style wise but the sea shanty knows no bounds.

Wicked funny improv- these guys are great.

Love hearing the second unofficial anthem to my home. And Jack White with Stephen Colbert too boot!

Jack White is Amazing!

At the end, you can clearly read Jack White's lips... "WOW, I'm impressed!" Awesome!

Best of luck to Jack White on his new solo career as a vampire

Gotta love Colbert. he's got guts. Its nice to see someone stick to their own values

As if I couldn't love these guys more, they go and sing Stan Rogers

A true artist , a true musician . He has no genre, is just art .

That was really neat!

I'm a Barrett's Privateer's fan! Can I come sing with Steven and Jack?

3:23 🎵 What shall we do with a drunken sailor 🎵 🎵 What shall we do with a drunken sailor 🎵 🎵 What shall we do with a drunken sailor 🎵 🎵 Take him to _Long John Silver's_ 🎵

Everytime I see this dude I'm like "can a person be any cooler and laid back?" And everytime I see him again I'm proven wrong.

Mad respect for Barret’s Privateers from a fellow maritimer.

Jack White is "The Man"!

Okay now we need a jack white/stephen colbert sea shanty cover album.

If he's not on #SNL this season there is something very wrong.

Had the great pleasure of hearing Barrett's Privateers sung by a fabulous band called Bella's Bartok. (Look them up) Never knew what it was called till now. Thank you !

I love Jack White!

Just replay it on Colbert's face when he hears Jack say Barrett's Privateers - the following genuine emotions go over his face in a two seconds: 1) Wait... what? 2) Holy shit he knows that song 3) Ohh my god how cool is this? 4)Then almost elated disbelief

I think saw these guys on stage at a renaissance fair pub sing... 😎

@tourismns should really invite Colbert up to the Hali waterfront. Maybe even get him a ride through the harbour on a tall ship or the amphibious tour. It would be hilarious and I think he'd have fun

Giggleliciousness supreme!!! 😂 🤣 😂

2:20 I thought he was going to say, "as a young Severus Snape"

You guys need to come to Nova Scotia and sing Barrett’s Privateers in Halifax 🍻 I love that Jack White has roots here

That denim jacket is unreasonably cool

Barrett's Privateers! Doesn't get better than that.

Stan Roger's spotted in the wild for the first time since the sea shanty craze of 2019

If they really just improv’d this whole skit….that is really REALLY impressive 🤯

Every time I see these two, I expect them to do a Catholic Throwdown. But that's Nun of my business.

I must've been a fan of Jack for 20 years now (omg), and he's even funnier than I realized 😂 I remember when he was on barter bros or American pickers or something and had them go through the extreme hassle of getting him a taxidermied white elephant, and when they arrived with it, he said "I don't like it, take it away" 😂 then laughed and thanked them and took his elephant. Brilliant 😂

The shanty was gold.

He's taking the 'White' thing literally now, I see.

What a great song for them to randomly cover. Makes me want to go out drinking.

Arrived for Jack White... stayed for the Sea Shanties! (Please make an album of this)

Damn that Shanty was a Killin'

😆 Big up Nova Scotia. 🇨🇦😘

Jack White is slowly transforming into a rockabilly version of Robert Blake in "LOST HIGHWAY"

These are often pretty cringey, but Jack makes this one work :D

Tupi guys need to go on tour!

2 American treasures!

Has Jack White ever been outside?

I really enjoyed that.

Give me Jack as Captain Bluecrest and Stephen as Scarlet Sash, raise the anchor and set sail for Amazing Isle.

Is he naturally that pale? He looks like a cool vampire.

A Nova Scotia twofer on Late Show this week. Jack White whose family is from Cape Breton, NS and Ethan Hawke who has a place up the Eastern Shore. And who played Everett Lewis, the husband of Maude Lewis in the film Maudie. A great, moving film. He likes her artwork. Ethan and Maya Hawke and Uma Thurman. The daughter of Bob Thurman. To think they might all be together now this summer up NEAR Sherbrooke, Nova Scotia! On the Eastern Shore, back of Dartmouth going north.

I feel like there's a part of the interview that wasn't upped to YT. We've been ripped! Damn you, CBS. How dare you not giving me your stuff for free!

this makes me so sad for both of them

Omg love Jack's hair! From a 63 y/o noni that wants her hair the same! 😂

Rachel Maddow interviewing Jack White. Man life is good.

Stan Rogers by two of the best!

Jack white is the best. Just saw him front row 8' away from him

Jack is looking more like Nicholson’s joker all the time

Very cute enterview!
