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.

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