WELL, I HOPE THE SUPER-INTELLIGENT MONKEYS DON'T
TAKE OVER IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BECAUSE THIS SUNDAY ON CBS
IS MUSIC'S BIGGEST NIGHT: THE GRAMMYS!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) GRAMMYS!
>> Jon: GRAMMYS.
>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW WHY I SAID IT THAT WAY.
I JUST WANT TO SING.
I'LL BE WATCHING BECAUSE, CONTRACTUALLY, MY TELEVISION IS
NOT ALLOWED TO BE TURNED TO ANY CBS.
IT'S GOING TO BE HOSTED BY OUR FRIEND JAMES CORDEN, WHO WILL
WELCOME SUCH PERFORMERS AS U2, RIHANNA, BRUNO MARS, LADY GAGA,
AND PINK.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE JAMES TRY TO FIT ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN HIS CAR.
A LOT OF THE MUSICAL ACTS ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN MY GUEST
RIGHT HERE ON "THE LATE SHOW": KENDRICK LAMAR, LADY
ANTEBELLUM, STING, COLDPLAY, AND THEY HAVEN'T ANNOUNCED THIS YET,
BUT ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE GUESTS WILL BE DEBUTING
HIS NEW BANJO ACT, NEIL DE-BLUE-GRASSE TYSON.
YET, NEIL DEBLUEGRASSE.
HE'LL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHY, SCIENTIFICALLY, YOU DO ENJOY HIS
MUSIC.
JON, YOU'RE PERFORMING, TOO?
>> Jon: YES, INDEED, FATS DOMINO.
THE LATE FATS DOM ME.
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
>> Stephen: I HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT.
I HEARD GREAT THINGS ABOUT YOU JON.
BUT THE PERFORMANCE I'M MOST EXCITED FOR IS A DUET BETWEEN
ELTON JOHN AND MILEY CYRUS.
THIS IS AMAZING, BECAUSE I'M A HUGE ELTON FAN.
I'VE GOT ALL OF HIS ALBUMS.
THIS IS TRUE.
I WAS IN AN ELTON JOHN COVER BAND CALLED NEBULA 5 WHEN I WAS
IN THIRD GRADE.
AND I WOULD SAY I'M DEFINITELY THE BIGGEST ELTON JOHN FAN IN
THE WORLD, BAR NONE.
>> OH, NO YOU'RE NOT, STEPHEN!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: MILEY CYRUS!
>> HI, EVERYBODY!
>> Stephen: MILEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
WOW.
>> HI, EVERYBODY.
>> Stephen: YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.
>> THANK YOU, SO MUCH.
THANK YOU!
>> Stephen: MILEY, I GOTTA ASK-- THANK YOU SO MUCH.
YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO SEE YOU HERE.
MILEY WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING HERE.
>> I HAVE TO TELL YOU, I'M ELTON'S NUMBER ONE FAN.
>> OH, REALLY?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: I THINK I AM.
I GREW UP LISTENING TO ELTON JOHN, AND I'M EASILY, LIKE, FIVE
YEARS OLDER THAN YOU ARE.
LAUGH >> PLEASE.
I KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ELTON.
>> Stephen: OKAY, PROVE IT.
WHAT WAS THE FIRST ALBUM EVER TO GO PLATINUM IN PREORDERS BEFORE
IT WAS EVEN RELEASED?
>> "GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD," 1973.
WHAT'S THE BESTSELLING CHART SINGLE OF ALL TIME?
>> Stephen: "CANDLE IN THE WIND."
>> WHICH ONE, "NORMA JEAN" OR "ENGLAND'S ROSE"?
>> Stephen: PLEASE.
"ENGLAND'S ROSE," 1997, 33 MILLION COPIES.
OKAY, WHO DID ELTON JOHN PLAY IN THE 2017 MOVIE "KINGSMAN: GOLDEN
CIRCLE"?
>> HE PLAYED ELTON JOHN.
WHAT ABOUT IN THE 1997 MOVIE "SPICE WORLD"?
>> Stephen: HE PLAYED ELTON JOHN.
BUT A YOUNGER ELTON JOHN.
THAT'S HOW GREAT HIS RANGE IS.
>> COME ON, STEPHEN, LOOK WHAT I'M WEARING.
CHECK OUT MY SHOES.
LOOK AT MY JACKET, AND MY GLASSES.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) WHAT DOES THIS SAY TO YOU?
WHAT DOES THIS SAY TO YOU?
>> Stephen: IT SAYS YOU'RE TRYING TOO HARD.
( LAUGHTER ) ANSWER ME THIS:
WHO DID HE PERFORM WITH AT THE 2001 GRAMMYS?
>> EMINEM.
BUT WHO IS HE PERFORMING WITH AT THE 2018 GRAMMYS?
>> Stephen: MILEY CYRUS.
DAMN IT!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) DAMN IT!
>> LOOK, STEPHEN, WE DON'T NEED TO ARGUE.
WE CLEARLY ARE BOTH HUGE FANS OF ELTON.
>> Stephen: YOU'RE RIGHT, YOU'RE RIGHT, MILEY.
IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT, AND FRIDAY NIGHT'S NOT RIGHT FOR FIGHTING.
>> BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS AN ALL RIGHT NIGHT FOR FIGHTING?
>> Stephen: I LIKE WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
JON?
