The only other time the show has gone the full hour was in September 2011 for an appearance by Radiohead.

The show will air next Wednesday, June 12, from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM with re-airings the next day. It is expected that McCartney will perform a song or two from his current tour.

Colbert, staying in character, said “I think this McCartney kid’s got something special and I’m gonna put him on the map!”

Paul previously appeared on the show in a cameo in January of 2009.

The Damned + The Hard Ons, Northcote Theatre, Friday 22nd March 2024

The Damned released the first ever UK punk single, “New Rose” off album Damned, Damned, Damned, in 1976, and were often overshadowed by their English punk counterparts. Now in their late sixties and still touring world-wide, featuring the original line up of Dave Vanian, Captain Sensible, Rat Scabies and Paul Gray, they are the ones having the last laugh and have left their old rivals for dead, in certain respects, quite literally!
