I'll never forget Nathan Lane in the Birdcage when Robin Williams was trying to teach him how to be butch and Nathan attempted his John Wayne impression. I still laugh to this day when I think about it. He has had so many great roles. He is a stellar Broadway star but he shines on film. His characters are always scene stealers. Even an adorable dog could not steal his thunder. What a treasure.

2:22 "You're a gem" damn straight Stephen! Nathan Lane is a national treasure!

At 1:34...that moment got me! Between Nathan's ADORABLE laugh, and the hilarious way Stephen was trying to stifle a laugh...I'm dying!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

When a really funny host knows his guest is funnier. That was gold.

I would love to hear Nathan Lane singing Springsteen.

Nathan Lane and Martin Short are two guys who bring the party. They are what late night TV used to be at the best of times.

I have nearly broken my face this week smiling at the joy that is Stephen and Jon B. on stage.

[kalieris]

Now I want nothing more than to hear Nathan Lane do Springsteen covers.

[johnathandavis]

Who doesn't love this guy. He's a treasure...

[killakann]

A gem, indeed; great guest, host, music and all.

[kartube]

Always a special occasion with Nathan! Cheers!

Did anyone catch that at the end?
“You’re a gem, ” says Colbert. That is adorable. Don’t know if I would refer to my elder, show-biz contemporary as a “gem, ” but then again, I ain’t no Stephen Colbert.

[heartnurse]

It is so nice to have you back! And Nathan Lane is a true gem!!❤❤

[kelgreen]

I want to see Nathan Lane in the new Broadway show, "Cicada, Cicada."

[bigsong]

Nathan Lane as Bruce Springsteen is the best show idea in the past 30 years

With guests like Mr. Lane, pretty much anyone can be a late night show host.

[Slambam]

Love Nathan Lane--anything with him in it is worth watching!

[penkast]

Such a pleasure to have Nathan Lane on this show! Or any show!
