Brandi Carlile is the glue holding all of this music history together. Selflessly and with honor. Great in her own right, she bows to those before her and with grace.

Stephen is the only late night host who knows how to interview human beings. To ask thoughtful questions, and then to get out of the way. To listen. To be sincere and not try to overtalk the guest. To appreciate history, and to confront difficult subjects with reverence and intimacy. Over my 67 years I have always admired Elton John, and view him as a true living legend. It is so sweet to see how happy he is. This was an exemplary interview! Three great artists being authentic, and letting us watch.

Watching this makes me realize how, damn lucky I am to have grow up when I did. At 71yrs old I know I had the best musical childhood❤

Few people, if any, have done the work of Brandi Carlile in re-invigorating the careers of our still-living musical legends. The list seems to keep growing. I don't believe Joni Mitchel would be singing today if not for her. Her work with Tanya Tucker was lightning in a bottle! Keep up the great work!

God, Brandi Carlile is gorgeous. And what a talent! "The Joke" remains one of my favorite songs.

An interview for the ages. I hope Elton just goes on and on. I remember hearing ‘Daniel’ when I was much younger and being so impressed with the honesty and genuine feeling in the song. It’s gone through his whole life. I’ve stayed in a ward in a hospital, where Elton paid for a kitchen so the people there wouldn’t have to eat less than nutritious hospital food. I remember the countless concerts and fundraisers he’s done for people with AIDS. He’s a great great man, one in billions.

I adore Colbert's compassion and intelligence. Ms Carlile radiates class and light. And Elton is sheer delight. Huge heart, massive talent.

I couldn’t stop smiling during this segment. This is pure joy in our world. God knows we need Elton’s grace more than ever. I’m 52 and my life has been backgrounded by his music. I don’t know if he can ever understand the universal scope of his music.

The talent, connectivity, kindness, humility... I feel so lucky to live in this time. I hope Brandi carries on Elton's intention.

Elton, the epitome of 'paying it forward', how refreshing to hear his heartfelt position on helping others. And Brandi, for me there is no equal 👑 Stephen bringing them together for us is such a gift
