Bonus Elvis Costello on Letterman

CBS Late Show with David Letterman is offering bonus web-only content from tonight’s Late Show with David Letterman: “Elvis Costello presents an exclusive web-only bonus performance of Jimmie Standing in the Rain from his new release, National Ransom.”

Understandably the Late Show is not allowing folks to embed this web exclusive content, but I am able to embed Dave’s 2010 Halloween costume sketch instead. This sketch is one of those rare ones that Letterman does every year where he gets to work with kids. I love when Letterman works with kids.

Monologue: Elvis Costello from March 2003

Last night I enjoyed seeing Elvis Costello play at Atlanta’s Tabernacle. As much as I love his music, I appreciate Costello’s wit almost more.

Rather than trying to describe his wit, I offer a March 2003 example from when he substitute hosted for David Letterman.

The line-up for that night was amazing, it included Eddie Izzard and the late Mitch Hedberg. I wonder if Costello got the itch to do his recent series, Spectacle, from this 2003 experience.
