Late Night with Seth Meyers

David Byrne is the most delightful former art school student! He has never lost his creativity
David Byrne reaffirms the connection between creativity and intelligence.
Seth Meyers proves that all you need is a great host, excellent writing, interesting guests, basic video and streaming equipment and Wally to put on a first rate talk show. I love this show so much!!!! Thank you Seth and all the staff and writers. Thank you Wally.
I remember how captivated I was as a little girl in Upstate New York gazing up at David Byrne and Talking Heads on early MTV videos. Nothing was like them. "Same as it ever was!" I thought "What is wrong with this man? Why is he so unapologetically crazy? It is so wonderful." I remember 1978 NYC. Thank you for revolutionizing my childhood and making music so twisted and magical.
Saw the modified show on Jan 1, incredible experience. It was just so unique to see something not polished, it felt intimate. Really appreciate that everyone with the show pulled that version together in only 2 days.
Byrne always comes across as such a genuine, intelligent nice guy in interviews. His appearance on 'Desert Island Discs' on BBC radio 4 in the UK was fantastic
He literally rode his bike in a white suit to play Prospect Park years back. Rode back out after. Awesome show always!!
David Byrne is my favorite human. Thank you for this interview!
Some people hijack your ears when they speak. Byrne is definitely one of them. I could listen all day.
Forever blessed to be able to see American Utopia. The second he appeared on stage i bursted in to tears. A long term inspiration the way I view the world.
Same!
Burst not bursted
He becomes more social than older he gets. I love he offered "money back" for those not happy, I would never ask for that.
Hope one day he can come back to Singapore.
Made the trip to NYC in Feb specifically to see the show. Tears a couple of times.
David Byrne is being too humble: we saw only the second or third performance of the re-configured show and it was already flawless. A band member told me after the show that they had to learn something like 20 new songs in 48 hours. And still, it was just utterly polished. Get a ticket while you can!
I was at the "Unchained" show on Jan 2nd. Incredible performance and energy in the theater. David Byrne played many of his solo and Talking Heads songs and spoke to the audience about the meaning or background of many of the songs. I'm so thankful to have seen it. Now, to go back and see the actual American Utopia!
Near 30 years ago in Eugene Oregon I was upgraded to Box Seats to see you David, Thank you. Even in a small venue You went big, it is still one of my favorite memories. I was inspired to return to what I loved, playing music just because, it's fun. Bless you. Love to meet you in person someday.
After a David Byrne show in Boston (before COVID-19) my friend asked David for a hug. That hug is even more memorable now. ❤️
I love his band The Talking Heads.Very unique music and the movie Stop Making Sense is brilliant.I saw it twice in the theater,and one time I trekked through a massive snow storm in Ottawa to see it.I wasn't disappointed.
David Byrne is a national treasure.
Hope you remain feeling good - looking forward to new shows next week!
David Byrne. Or, as I've referred to him for a few decades now: My husband in an alternate universe. 😃 Thanks for this, David. Thanks for this, Seth. Happy New Year!
I remember well his Stop Making Sense concert back in the 80s, great show.
I saw the concert in Minneapolis! I love David Byrne❤️🎶❤️. He is absolutely brilliant👏👏👏
With or without shoes, with or without big blazers or shoulder pads, David Byrne is a lovely sexy beast. Always different, yet same as he ever was.
Thank you for living to 2022--I still haven't forgiven Betty White for ditching us, and I'm counting on you and Brian May to rock in the next year.
A lovely man.
I love how Byrne interrupts his own interview to talk about Florida Man. Because even when you're an rock legend, you're still intrigued by the antics of Florida Man!
1990 Shintaro Katsu, the actor who played Zatoichi, was ARRESTED for smuggling at Hawaii International Airport with Cocaine AND Marijuana in his Jockey Shorts.
When asked for comment he replied; "I shall NEVER wear underpants again!!"
Best show ever! Loved every second of it.
What a deep and beautiful soul. Seth is a master of the talk show interview. The best in the business.
I love David Byrne and Seth this was awesome 👏
Talking Heads
This is not my beautiful house, this is not my beautiful wife, THAT is NOT my dog poo!!!
love david's callback to earlier in the show (and love david generally lol)
Saw the film of American Utopia loved it ❤
We saw the show right before they had their outbreak. I’m glad we got to see the full show (it was fantastic). But I can also see enjoying the fly by the seat of their pants version
hes so adoreable. a national treasure!
David had such a nice smile..
yep he's super cute
Saw the show tonight - just awesome. If you're in town, you should absolutely see it!!
I’ve seen America Utopia 3 times at the St. James. Go and see it!!
Hope you feel better Seth, we love and miss you. - Jackal
I have returned because he looks cute here. I should be asleep. It's 2am. Must stop googling David byrne.
Had a chance to see this show Jan 5, day after this clip aired and I think it was the first night they were back to the main show. Had tickets to his Dec 5 show but it was canceled just as we arrived in NYC.
Such tremendous joy and warmth from the cast and audience; highly recommend this show.
I saw the Talking Head during the Stop Making Sense tour and this American Utopia show is about as close to that as you can get.
Go see it.
God bless you David Byrne , you are a national treasure , A beautiful artist & human being ❤️❤️❤️
That was a great show!
Nice guitar collection.
Legend.
Somehow I expected David Byrne's home would be all grays and whites and neat and tidy.
David makin' a bid for a writing gig on the side tonight!
YYY-Videos are great!!!!
I've had this question for the longest haha
Love Byrne.
i bet fred armisen would love to be doing this interview with byrne.
great vid thanks....1/7/2022~SEE? We were RIGHT about audiences being a bad idea. Hope you feel better soon. We Jackals really missed you yesterday.
Be well, Seth...happy to hear your COVID symptoms are mild.
@Real Aiglon
"Pandemic of the unvaccinated" has a very specific meaning. It means that the people who chose not to get vaccinated and boosted are the people who will spread and die from COVID. It does not mean ALL unvaccinated people will die from COVID; instead, it means random, unvaccinated, people will die, and others will live. The catch? Nobody knows who will live and who will die. You either don't grasp, or you don't care, that you are gambling with your own life.
I have lost count of the notable anti-vaxxers who have died from COVID; and, now, when you do get sick, your kind are making treatment demands of the healthcare workers who try to save your life...
No vaccine will protect all the time, but what the vaccine will do is reduce to almost zero the chance that the vaccinated will die from COVID because we (the people who got vaccinated) have trusted in science to help build an immunity to COVID...an immunity you don't have.
Lovely :D
I actually was curious about this😅
David blurts out "Thank you!" the same way he did after every song the first time I saw the Talking Heads play in 1978.
Hear that, Seth? Everybody (even late night hosts) look more handsome in a suit.
Same as it ever was.
Look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up
Time isn't after us
They very subtlely had a lot of hits.
I've never seen David Byrne's laugh so much till now. It's Creepy!
He's a Scot - he's just too tight to buy all those shoes!
Where's the new videos Seth? You came back just for a day this week?
David Byrne is my idea of the perfect man
“Its not mine” will be Trump’s defense/alibi re: Jan 6 Capitol Siege
Apparently you can now get it over zoom. Poor Seth.
Honestly, I thought the barefeet was to symbolize equality. They may all wear these fancy suits, but if you boil it down to their feet, they're equal haha
For someone who has come up with all sorts of uniquely odd lyrics, music, and performances, Byrne comes across in the interview as so...normal.
David, we are diametrically opposed politically, but you are my very favorite artist of all time. I'll keep being me, please keep on being you. Love, your biggest fan. Not in a creepy made-for-TV-movie kind of way but truly, truly. :-)
Lighting director is the most important job at a concert. Sound is just a big stereo, don't get me started on vidiots.
My friend is the soundman for David. It's not just a big stereo, you dolt.
@@JenniferWilliams-eb3wd you sound insufferable.
@@JJ-ti5lh You sound like a misogynistic troll who enjoys randomly insulting women online. Get that checked.
I thought going barefoot might have been for the benefits of grounding.
Stepping in dog doods is the worst.
:D
what is the point of having an audience if all the guests are going to be virtual?! then you are really only going for the monologue and a closer look. i would be very annoyed if i had gotten a ticket for that day.
who cares? a big suit a suit with no shoes. the world has more to worry about. this is BS
Interview Robert Malone or Robert F. Kennedy.
Is David a Christian?
More information... if you confess Jesus is Lord, believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead you will be saved (fromhell) Romans10:9 Please repent of your sin and believe today. Dont be left behind, eternity in heaven awaits. Love Y'all
Enough with the sales pitch. Rather burn than be anywhere near a god that treats its creations this way. So far... owe him nothing but a punch
i understand that's his music room or whatever but why does he live in such squalor...?
It's not *squalor 🙄
@@MadAboutBrows whatever, those cheap shelving units, such disorder, cluttered almost hoarding.... i understand he's a brilliant mind. but still, i expected something a bit more elegant.
@@JenniferWilliams-eb3wd you kidding me? he's got cardboard boxes with just junk in there, every shelf is just packed full of clutter. two guitars not even sitting on stands, just leaned up against random books and roomba vacuum cleaners or something.... and that's just what we can see... if the rest of the place is a reflection of those two corners, he's not in very good shape at home.
@@JenniferWilliams-eb3wd i'm not kidding you either. that is not at all acceptable cleanliness or orderly for a child let alone a man with so much money, whom obviously lives an expensive life style and with nice things. in such a way is terrible....
@@nilocnaughton Your perspective is not shared by others. Context is your friend. His creative space & he just literally put together a show overnight.
He smiles and laughs with a Seth but ignores and legally gaslighted his former band mates for over 40 years. I don't like him.
What, buy owning his songs and moving forward.
@@morbidmanmusic I am sorry - I retract that. I've let myself down in that last statement. From being a fan of the Heads over the years I've always thought the following - if people have agreed to come together as a unit and write and make music together for such as they have, it would be more graceful to live life in the present with humility and to accept and respect each other - and for all the players in the band to feel they've been respected. We have only one life and it goes very quickly. It's no one's fault in particular but there seems to be a lot of unresolved issues which is sad considering the amount of time they spent together. There is more to life than feathering one's own nest at the expense of others.
@@scottblack9213 Honestly I wish that they can just have a talk and forgive each other, but easier said than done :(
