The only other time the show has gone the full hour was in September 2011 for an appearance by Radiohead.

The show will air next Wednesday, June 12, from 11:30 PM to 12:30 AM with re-airings the next day. It is expected that McCartney will perform a song or two from his current tour.

Colbert, staying in character, said “I think this McCartney kid’s got something special and I’m gonna put him on the map!”

Paul previously appeared on the show in a cameo in January of 2009.
