Spike Jonze Shot A Lovely Short Film To Open ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’

Here’s the Spike Jonze short film with Stephen Colbert from The Late Show:

What I love about this short is that you don’t even need to know what’s going on in Colbert’s life to feel his sorrow. The sad version of the theme song from Jon Batiste works beautifully to drive the story, and the use of Grover from Sesame Street is so uplifting and lovely. Here’s hoping that they use this opening every now and then just to change things up. If not, we can always just watch it online.
