Edward Norton performed a spectacular rendition of a Walt Whitman poem on Colbert tonight [View all]

Colbert is winding down. The last episode is May 21.
Norton joined the procession of guests seeing him off. Norton performed the work after talking about he is coping with the unrest most are experiencing.

The poem basically says that those who preceded all of us also faced turmoil. It was comforting in the sense that not only are we are not alone but that we too will survive and it gave a nudge to savor life in the present moment.

It’s not on YouTube yet just facebook and TikTok so I didn’t post it but they both show up on Google. I’ll add it if it shows up on YouTube.
