The interweb is abuzz this morning with praise for Stephen Colbert’s<\/strong> eloquent, poignant homage to his 92-year old mother, Lorna<\/strong>, <\/strong>who passed last week (which you can watch at the very bottom). It was fitting, then, that The Postal Service<\/strong> chose to make its first appearance ever on television on Colbert and sing their much-loved song Such Great Heights<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 After, they performed newish song A Tattered Line of String. \u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

After the band’s two songs, watch Colbert’s<\/strong> hilarious, insightful interview with the band.\u00a0 Hometown Santa Barbarian Jimmy Tamborello<\/strong> manages to get into the interview before Colbert<\/strong> properly embarrasses Jenny Lewis<\/strong> with a video of her in a commercial as a kid.<\/p>\n

Tamborello<\/strong> returns home with the band to play the Santa Barbara Bowl<\/strong> on July 20th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
