UPCOMING GUESTS ON THE “LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN” ON THE CBS TELEVISION NETWORK

October 19, 2010 by J!-ENT

*Monday, Nov. 1 Actor Robert Downey Jr.; musical guest Elvis Costello (n)

[verbal gymnastics]

Is Letterman shown in the UK?

[johnfoyle]

I don't think so. It'll turn up quick enough, however, on youTube, torrent etc.

I'll post it on YouTube in hi def that night, most likely.

*Monday, Nov. 1 Actor Robert Downey Jr.; musical guest Elvis Costello (n)

That sounds like my kind of show!

[Lester Burnham]

Shall we start taking bets (gentlemen's wagers only!) on what he'll play?

If he's with the Imposters/Sugarcanes/Impostercanes, maybe the title track. If he's solo, maybe 'You Hung The Moon'.

[Jeremy Dylan]

Perhaps 'I Lost You'? It being the single. I would think 'A Slow Drag With Josephine' would be the likely candidate for a solo spot.

[Lester Burnham]

Yeah but this is Elvis we're talking about He doesn't usually do his singles, and 'I Lost You' wasn't released in the US as a single, so he's really not under any "obligation" to perform it.

[migdd]

I hope he performs with the hybrid band. As for which song . . .they're all pretty great so surprise me.

[Jeremy Dylan]

I'd love if he trotted the full studio band out for a door-blasting rendition of either 'National Ransom' or 'The Spell That You Cast'.

"and now a... distinctive singer-songwriter who we've been pleased have many times on this show, here with a track from his new album 'National Ransom' - ladies and gentlemen mister Elvis Costello.'

Cut to EC, Pete Thomas, Dennis Crouch, Marc Ribot, Jerry Douglas, Steve Nieve and Buddy Miller. A real banstorming rock'n'roll performance would get some vibe going for the album.

•CBS' "The Late Show with David Letterman" - Later that night, Costello and band take on domestic broadcast with an interview and performance of "National Ransom."

Tune in!

[Jeremy Dylan]

I assume this is happening about now, based on the time zone differences I worked out in my head. How was it? Interview as well as performance?

Great stuff.

[And No Coffee Table]

Did Letterman greet Jim Lauderdale as "Pete" at the end?

[docinwestchester]

Web only broadcast of Jimmie:

This should work outside the U.S.
