As of 8:25 Pacific, the show's YouTube channel has two videos up from tonight's episode.  They have also posted an extended version of last night's Colbert Questionert.

Hopefully the show channel doesn't get shut down immediately, but I won't hold my breath.

Best,
David

I downloaded a bunch of stuff from the YouTube channel this week in anticipation of the archive getting deleted.

Reddit /r/datahoarder has the how-to.   I'm sure someone will put together a grouping or torrent.

I will admit here, something I may have concealed before, that thanks to Allavsoft I have done plenty of DL'ing of my own, with very few issues.     B

Rob Barnett (an industry "headhunter," NTBCW with Rob Burnett who worked for the Pants) shot a minute of some of the "lost" musical material referenced in this article:

I was very happy to see Jon Batiste (I really thought he'd have come out for the Questionert the night before), and Elvis Costello was a lovely surprise.  I'd have appreciated Sir Paul more if he hadn't been on SNL the previous weekend, but that's just me. 

I doubt this was at all intentional, but when the studio was shrunk down to a snow globe at the end, I immediately thought of the end of SCG's run on The Late Late Show (at least partly because it aired the same night The Colbert Report ended), which also featured a snow globe, but of Craig's desk and such.

I assume that the intent of running through Hello Goodbye twice was to edit them together in post?  When Craig taped the opening song in his final show (I was in the audience for that segment), they also did it twice, but it was because something went wrong the first time around.  Whatever it was wasn't obvious to the audience.

I still listen to the song Bang Your Drum, played on SCG finale.

Super cool that you were there. I didn't know that.

I was only there for the open.  SCG taped two shows that day, and I was in the first show audience.  Here's what I posted on the list back then (sadly all the links in the thread are rotten now) - https://groups.google.com/g/tvornottv/c/N8nl84Kud40/m/aBfD1U0vCFcJ

I assume because they had a full band setup on the main stage floor (rather than in the smaller performance space to the side), that it was easier to tape that segment, move everything, then do the two shows, rather than move things before and after.
