    People, please understand how difficult it is to harmonize with one deaf ear. Stephen, your harmonizing with one deaf ear always amazes me. If I ever get to meet him I’m asking him for pointers.
  • THAT duet was GREAT!!! Very entertaining......and we all know Maren can belt them out.....but DAMN Stephen Colber just impressed the hell outta me!!! So glad you two did this!!! Started my day off with a great big smile!!! THANK YOU BOTH!

    Now I have a new admiration for Mr. Stephen Colbert. He sings a beautiful baseline 🎶🎵🎶to our national anthem! ❤.🇺🇲😊
  • @SevenTheJester
    I mean...I knew he could sing and play a little guitar, but I had no idea his lower register was that nice. That's honestly pretty damned impressive. 😮 She was amazing too, of course, but she's always amazing. I've been sleeping on Colbert's bass notes, though. 🤯

    LOVE Maren Morris. Respect her standing up for her right to speak out. Will always follow her music where ever she goes.
  • @jeffclement2468
    Amazing. I never knew the National Anthem had a bass-line harmony. 😻 And her breaking up with laughter added to the charm. I think she was amazed too! ❤
  • So much fun singing along with Steven, I knew he wouldn't stop or stumble, he's a machine, and love that rich bottom and tone! Singing along just too much fun❤❤❤❤❤
  • @S.Shea2432

It's breathtakingly Beautiful, the QUEEN can SANG!! Thank You Stephen for having Maren on your show!! I LOVE YOU BOTH SO MUCH!! You both deserve Y'all's flowers!! 😍 💙🌹🦋🌹💜
  • Keeping the Star Spangled Banner traditional without crazy riffs. Bravo! 👏🇺🇸
  • @lisadiane55
    I've heard Stephen sing that harmony line to the National Anthem before. Reminded me of one more reason to love this man. He's a great singer and dancer. Check out episodes of Strangers With Candy.

    "Wally the Goth" is now my next Halloween's costume theme.
  • @fletchoid
    Wow! Stephen Colbert can sing, and in amazing harmony.
  • Her search for Tex-Mex food in Nashville reminds me of when I was there and searching for Cajun food and nobody knew what I was talking about. I get that I wasn't in Louisiana, but geez, it's still the south. I live way out west in California and everybody here knows what Cajun food is, so what the heck?
  • OMG! The two of you singing The Star Spangled Banner actually made me cry! It was so spontaneous and so meaningful in light of what America is going through these days, to see you two just lift up everyone's heart like that. You were both great. I'd want to listen to you any time. Very enjoyable and uplifting. And, Steven, you are my spiritual leader in these difficult times. You make us laugh and not feel so alone. Thank you for that. I don't think your audience would allow tRump to jail you if he wins in November. At some point, people are going to say "ENOUGH". But I'm old and weak so I hope we don't end up having to worry about it.
  • @Justusson
    Damn, Stephen’s got a really deeeep voice. I never knew!! 😮
  • @user-en6ww3km8i
    I’m saving this segment. Love this form of the national anthem. ❤
  • @thesincitymama
    Wow, got goosebumps when they sang! Didn’t expect that…
