WELCOME BACK TO "A LATE SHOW."

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO SEND OUT A PERSONAL MESSAGE TO A

FRIEND.

LAST WEEK, OUR FRIEND AND YOURS, THE MUSICAL GREAT JOHN PRINE,

WAS PLACED ON A VENTILATOR WITH CORONAVIRUS SYMPTOMS.

MY THOUGHTS WITH RWITH YAWN AND HIS WIFE, FIONA AND EVERYBODY

TOUCH BY THIS VIRUS.

I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE ONE OF THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS I HAD ON MY

SHOW OR ANY SHOW, AND THAT'S WHEN JOHN AND I SANG A DUEET

THAT WE NEVER BROADCASTED PUT WE'D LIKE TO NOW.

>> Stephen: HEY, JOHN, HOW ARE YOU?

>> I'M DOING GREAT.

>> Stephen: THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

>> THANK YOu.

>> Stephen: I WOULD BE SO HONORED IF I COULD DO A SONG

WITH YOU TONIGHT.

WOULD THAT BE ALL RIGHT?

>> I THINK THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

>> Stephen: OKAY, GOOD.

WE'LL PROBABLY DO THIS FOR THE INTERNET, UNLESS, YOU KNOW,

SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS, AND WE HAVE TO CHEER UP THE WORLD ON

THE TV SHOW.

( LAUGHTER ) ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GIVE IT A TRY.

I WOULDN'T MIND DOING "THAT'S THE WAY THE WORLD GOES ROUND."

>> I KNOW THAT ONE.

>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.

YOU SHOULD.
