And Regina's vocals are awesome. Seems like some people here are giving her a hard time because she didn't hit every note perfectly? Do they realize how ridiculous that range is that she's doing so quickly? It's unreal. I love 3:24 when she looks over to Ben and then smiles because maybe he realizes she's struggling so when the camera pulls out you see that he's up and smiling back at her and then she freaking nails the end... that feels like a perfect demonstration of the power of true love and support
It was brilliant. I saw the sheet music go down and I thought, man I've been that guy. Now he's gotta play it cool and fake it cause he has no idea what to play. It's almost like Jason Sudekis dressed up as a trombone player. Wait a minute...
So glad to have watched this!! Still a little confused behind the context of Jason Sudeikis playing trombone.. but I'm not complaining. When I was in middle school and this was common, my mom's "hold" music for her cell phone was this song! Always makes me think of her.
Are you sure it was posted before? I saw this same song performance but in a different talk-show (the one with a "k" and a "!"). This isn't a repost for me, this is from my own editing. Thank you for writing.
Yes, I think it was uploaded to UA-cam by one or two fans soon after this episode aired, but was then removed, maybe within a few months to a year. After that, it was only available on some Russian knockoff of UA-cam for a few years more, before disappearing from the Internet entirely for the better part of a decade, until you re-uploaded it in April 2020.
Can't imagine we'll ever see Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, and Flava Flav all sitting on the couch next to each other again. I actually love all three of these musicians for different reasons and times of my life. We don't have to get into Flavor of Love lol, just leave it at he was the best hype man in the biz w Public Enemy...
Still looking for the rehearsal taping of this performance.. It has been on youtube and taken down. It was a fun to watch with the swear words and her beautiful smile !
For everybody thinking Regina's mic was doing weird stuff or Autotune was being used and cutting in and out... I respectfully disagree. I don't think autotune was used at all. She is doing the low and high notes and increasing and decreasing her own volume with her voice. Any singer knows how to do things like that and this song calls for it. Actually I thought it sounded great! But obviously nobody cares about my opinion of course, just thought I'd share my 2 cents. Cheerio!
you can very clearly hear the autotune at 0:59. she is a great singer but there was very heavy autotune used in this performance. i think the song might have been too low for her
Yeah, of all Ben's songs I'm not sure how well this one stands up to live performance. It sounds better produced and on an album, but on stage not as much.
Auto tune? Are you kidding me? Regina Spektor? This was her first time on national tv live. She was nervous. But look how well she recovers and totally nails the rest of it. Check out every other female singer that does this song if you don’t believe me
I’m not sure the trombone player was the only issue here. Her sound was all messed up and the levels kept changing, not just her but other instruments. I’m guessing they had a super small stage to cram all that stuff into and they couldn’t move as needed. Not sure if the music went flying because the drummer knocked them off or what. They just didn’t seem comfortable, any of them.
@@MaruMaruMaruMaruMaruMaru my mom left me when i was a baby so it makes sense thank you for telling me after all this time ive been searching y know :/
@@tortadeboiacha sorry big man, he's a really talented musician who was part of a band called Ben Folds Five in the 90s, who then moved on to a solo career.
Alister Coote I was shocked to hear her in this performance as her voice is normally flawless without autotune. I think she was nervous, check this out ua-cam.com/video/jouUQAcQubY/v-deo.html
It's like her mic wasn't run through the same board! It's really wierd! Like they gave a mic as an afterthought. I love her. This is just one of those vids,you just look at her and bask!
I'm a little surprised that a lot of people don't realize the trombone player's sole purpose in this performance is as a goof; but then again it's a dumb inside joke so maybe I shouldn't be. Some things that touring artists do to keep things interesting from show to show are the dumbest, silliest lowest level of humor that makes the band laugh but that most of the audience doesn't even notice. Ben sure as heck finds it funny.. he's such a dork and unapologetically himself (except for when he apologizes for being himself lol.) It shows they are having a lot of fun- and it's little things like this that makes me really miss playing live music. Gettin' all emotional over here 🥲🥹😅
that one deliberate 'Heck' destroyed me
I wish he said 'frick,;' that would've been even funnier

How did I miss this at the time? What a treasure.
Right?! It’s now Dec. 2023, two days before Christmas, and I just discovered this after watching the video for ‘Brick’ (6am/Day after Christmas…).
Same here! Huge Ben Folds (and Conan!) fan and somehow never knew about this.
I was really confused by the terrible trombone player until I realized it was Jason Sudekis.
thank you for opening my eyes to this, hilarious!
I felt bad for the guy until I read this.
It was brilliant. I saw the sheet music go down and I thought, man I've been that guy. Now he's gotta play it cool and fake it cause he has no idea what to play. It's almost like Jason Sudekis dressed up as a trombone player. Wait a minute...
I was thinking “i have never seen a trombonist with less shit put together than this”
@@wiishopwednesdayrecords2959 clearly, you know few tromboners
Such a Goddess! Also Love Ben since I was 13 and saw him at a coffee shop in NC. Two of The Best singer/ songwriter/ piano players EVER!
Chapel Hill?

Com-ed-y.
Then your MOM is obviously cool as F. ☺
Thank you immensely for restoring this video to UA-cam. I really missed it.

Ok, thank you for the clarification.
That trombone player emptying his spit valve like a fire hose is a legend!
him getting lost in the sheet music and dumping it on the floor had me rolling lmao
Is that Jason Sudikis?
It's an SNL cast member, he's not playing lol (Jason Sudeikis)
why is everyone hating on this performance i love it 😭 it’s entertaining
The rehearsal to this was fantastic, I think Regina was a bit nervous, bc her vocals were more shaky here.
The rehearsal is sooooooo much better... Not sure what's going on.
Coach Ted Lasso is killing it on the trombone!!!
Can't imagine we'll ever see Ben Folds, Regina Spektor, and Flava Flav all sitting on the couch next to each other again.

Absolutely an all time great live late night performance
why was the auto tune acting up so bad
Still looking for the rehearsal taping of this performance.. It has been on youtube and taken down. It was a fun to watch with the swear words and her beautiful smile !
I didn't knew that video exists. I only have an audio rehersal (who knows where) with the "swear words" as you said.
Is this the one you are looking for? ua-cam.com/video/1rspFcLcMZI/v-deo.html
They were practicing to make sure they wont say fuck while live lol.. and then at the end they both screamed FUCK
Yeah, the audio version was on Stems and Seeds
@@user-xh1kz7rm4j yes!
3:04 *dumps a swimming pool worth of spit out of trombone*
holy shit...good catch...wtf
Sudeikis!

The music video with Tim and Eric is so random and good!
Regina Spektor is like that nerdy girl in high school that makes you look back and realize she was a total babe and no one noticed.
So well said she is super hot in this
Can yall write your porn fantasy elsewhere yalls view on women weirrrdd
@@cassie4965 jealous
I noticed all bitches. So I dont understand what the hell your talking about. Lol.
Regina is friggin wonderful,
Even after all these years I'm still amused by how tall Conan is compared with most of his guests.
reclinerdiner omg Regina looks so tiny!
Seriously, he's got to be at least 12 feet taller than her! :D
is it "OBAMA" written on her dress?
This is perfect! Such a good performance of a great song.
So glad I got to see him do this live in Cleveland a few years back. My only regret is that Regina wasn't there too.
Ted Lasso on the Trombone!
Regina Is so talented. I also love when she plays the piano. I don’t know Ben at all.
Not sure if you really don’t know Ben or if that was a play on the lyric.
It’s ok he’s a brick.
That’s his most famous song lol.
@@amandanorris8 Thanks for clarifying Amanda!
@@gabrielmcconnor4493 anytime haha
What Sudekis doin
I love them so much aaaaa
And then they got back together 10 years later for dear Theodosia
trip back in time
what’s up with the microphones? They go all robotic occasionally.
Autotune
It's autotune
Some wack auto tune
Regina is spectacularly fetching. Just saying
Jeremy Rogers he just wanted to be on stage..... lucky bastard using his white privilege. Lol 😂
Fetching, yeah... Fetching some condoms
*Spektacularly fetching
Holy shit is that Jason Sudeikis?
Ted Lasso plays the trombone?
Woow no sabía que toretto estaba en el grupo 😂😂 I love it this song
Lol...that couch was insane XD
I love this song, but WTF? Jason Sudeikis on Trombone? That's hilarious!
Please, Please watch this song with the Australian girl, Kate Miller Heike , singing with Ben !!!!!
This performance is just so strange
Yeah, of all Ben's songs I'm not sure how well this one stands up to live performance. It sounds better produced and on an album, but on stage not as much.
Have you seen the video? Definitely strange.
The rehearsal recording is awesome. They all shout "F*CK!" And crack up because they have to leave the word out in another line
Sound good for me, Regina todo lo refina.
¿Regina todo lo refina? Soviet Kitsch está bueno. Gracias por tu comentario.
Ben should have yelled"why the FUCK"
Also, did anyone else notice the Auto-Tune glitch on the first chorus?
Auto tune? Are you kidding me? Regina Spektor? This was her first time on national tv live. She was nervous. But look how well she recovers and totally nails the rest of it. Check out every other female singer that does this song if you don’t believe me
@@CraigMaxwell-gz3vw yeah autotune would only make her voice less amazing
OMG her Obama waistband is AWESOME. She’s the best.
The rehearsal version is so much better
The trombone player is an actor
Is that Jason Sudekis playing trombone?
Yeah, the trombone is an inside joke
1:07 The trumpet player's instrument falls apart and then he acts strange for the rest of the song.
I can't tell if it's staged or not.
😂Not sure if you’re joking or not but that’s a trombone and that’s Jason sudeikis “playing” the trombone. So, yes it’s staged.
2:53- "elevator eyes." HR tells me that's not allowed
Holy crap, how come no one in the comments noticed the autotune failing miserably?
yeah that was strange
It's true. What is that due to?
@@tecnomeow5198 probably on purpose given the entire performance being hilarious to listen to
autotune fluttering and T-Paining all over the place, on both of em. brutal

Sudeikis emptying his spit valve. Money.
That looks just like Fleas 1961 bass
What episode of community is this?
lol 1:08 Jason Sudekis on Trombone makes a tromboner mistake!
Great song....geez regina is a bit of a hottie
Major hottie !
You thirsty as hell
I didn't know Jason Sudeikis played trombone...
I'm...not sure he does
Thumb up if you are here to check if the weirdo in the back is Sudekis.
Regina is wearing a Obama dress😍😍😍
I love it!
Ted lasso on the trombone. what in the actual F...lol
1:36
When this was cool
That trombone player looks familiar…
does her belt say Alabama?
nvm. waited till the end and saw it said Obama
Imagine putting a human on a pedestal that is not related to you.
Lmao what?
she seems to sing a 1 sec behind when she's supposed to.
Vin diesel on the trumpet
curiously bad....not nearly as good as the Jimmy Fallon version :/
Regina, such a brick, thank god Ben was there
who is ben folds
your mom

@@robbiemcneish4459 thanks man
Who cares?
she is annoying
Why is Regina’s posture so bad!? Does she have to take a bow every time she sings a freaking note!? 😂
Regina Spektor sounded terrible
Autotuned to the back teeth
Alister Coote I was shocked to hear her in this performance as her voice is normally flawless without autotune. I think she was nervous, check this out ua-cam.com/video/jouUQAcQubY/v-deo.html
It's like her mic wasn't run through the same board! It's really wierd! Like they gave a mic as an afterthought. I love her. This is just one of those vids,you just look at her and bask!
It was the microphone. Ben’s microphone went robotic once or twice as well. TeamCoco ought to get on their game.
@@rosalieoakes9201 I mean only makes sense to be nervous, how couldnt you be nervous preforming with ben folds dude is amazing
I'm a little surprised that a lot of people don't realize the trombone player's sole purpose in this performance is as a goof; but then again it's a dumb inside joke so maybe I shouldn't be.

Gettin' all emotional over here 🥲🥹😅
