As soon as it was announced that the first proper band appearing on Stephen Colbert's version of the Late Show would be a mysterious Paul Simon tribute act called Troubled Waters, it was kind of assumed to be a joke. Maybe it was a reunited Pavement, or maybe it was sort-of-actual-Paul-Simon-tribute-act Vampire Weekend? Speculation abounded! But no, it turned out that Troubled Waters' lead singer "Alan" was none other than Paul Simon himself (Colbert: "Can I call you Al?"), and he closed out the first week of the new Late Show with performances of "Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard" and "American Tune." Colbert -- who has some experience with tribute bands himself -- fulfilled his dream of doing the whistling solo on "Me And Julio" and also joined in for a verse. Watch below.
