Late night hosts Stephen Colbert and James Corden teamed up this week to bring fans a Broadway-style musical number- complete with tight harmonies and dancing! Below, watch the pair sing "Me and My Shadow" to close out THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT.

Though they are now primarily known for their respective hosting gigs, we in the Broadway community remember them as Stephen Sondheim musical actors, with Corden as the Baker in Disney's film adaptation of INTO THE WOODS, and Colbert as Harry in Lincoln Center's 2011 production of COMPANY. Maybe next time the pair will get back to their Sondheim roots. What Sondheim song do you want to see them perform?

THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT premiered on Tuesday, Sept. 8 on CBs.The show is broadcast from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City.

A multi-talented and respected host, writer, producer, satirist and comedian, Colbert is well-known for his previous late night show, "The Colbert Report," which concluded on Friday, Dec. 18, 2014. The program received wide-spread critical acclaim and earned two Peabody Awards and 29 Emmy Award nominations, including two Emmy wins for Outstanding Variety Series (2013, 2014) and four Emmy wins for Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program (2008, 2010, 2013, 2014). Prior to that, Colbert spent eight years as a correspondent on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" as an on-air personality and writer of news satire for the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning series.
