HEY, STEVE.
>> HEY, STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> AH, JUST CLEANING UP THE OLD BANJO FOR THE SHOW.
IT IMPROVES THE TONE.
>> Stephen: I WOULD NOT HAVE THOUGHT THAT.
>> OH, YEAH, YEAH.
IT'S AN OLD PROFESSIONAL SECRET.
>> Stephen: OH, WOW.
>> IT'S REALLY BEEN GOOD.
>> Stephen: ANYWAY-- OH, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU PLAYED THE
GUITAR, TOO.
>> I DON'T.
THIS IS OUR GUITARIST'S GUITAR.
HE'S GOING TO BE REALLY SURPRISED.
>> Stephen: OKAY, YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: DO YOU DO THIS A LOT WITH INSTRUMENTS?
>> I DO.
YOU KNOW, I WAS AT A CONCERT HALL RECENTLY, AND THEY HAD THIS
BEAUTIFUL GRAND PIANO.
AND I REALIZED, THIS THING HASN'T BEEN WASHED IN ABOUT
THREE YEARS.
AND SO I GAVE IT A GOOD HOSE-DOWN.
>> Stephen: DID IT SOUND BETTER?
>> AH, DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE.
BUT ANYWAY-- >> Stephen: ANYWAY, HAVE A
GREAT SHOW.
>> BUT YOU KNOW WHO ELSE LOVED IT IS WHEN I WASHED YO YO MA'S
CELLO, AND HE WAS SO GRATEFUL.
>> Stephen: YOU WASHED HIS STRADIVARIUS.
>> OH, A STRADIVARIUS.
So, IT'S, LIKE, 300 YEARS OLD, SO REALLY DIRTY.
SO NO WONDER HE WAS SO GRATEFUL.
HE LOOKED AT ME WITH TEARS OF JOY.
IT WAS SO NICE.
( LAUGHTER ) ( PLAYING OFF KEY )
>> Stephen: ANYWAY, GREAT TO SEE YOU.
BREAK A LEG TONIGHT.
>> HEY, STEPHEN, STEPHEN.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> WANT ME TO GIVE THOSE GLASSES A GOOD CLEANING FOR THE SHOW?
>> Stephen: UH-- >> IT HELPS.
>> Stephen: SURE.
YEAH, SURE.
>> NO, YOU CAN LEAVE THEM ON, THAT'S FINE.
THERE YOU GO.
>> IT'S "THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT."
