Paul McCartney joined Stephen Colbert on the final episode of The Late Show for a duet of the Beatles song Hello Goodbye. The episode aired May 21 after the show's cancellation last summer.
McCartney also turned off the lights at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in a nod to the Beatles' 1964 appearance there. He recalled details of that visit during an interview, noting the bright orange makeup applied before the broadcast to an audience of more than 70 million people.
