    EP 133 - Billy Joel On Late Night TV Part 3 (1986-2024)
    Mar 11 2025
    Even though Billy Joel was a superstar by the 1980s, he still had to promote each new album. That included appearances on late night television shows. Billy was never a fan of music videos or performing on television, saying music shouldn’t have to be a visual art. But as the landscape of late night shows changed over the years, he found more opportunities that suited his style. He offset his spotlight moments on Late Night with David Letterman by sitting in with Paul Schaffer’s famed house band. His revamped live band got the spotlight in late 80s and early 90s Saturday Night Live appearances. Later, Billy debuted new songs and revisited his back catalog with his live band and members of the show’s musical groups while visiting other late-night hosts. Then, as his 2010s renaissance blossomed with his Madison Square Garden residency, Billy guested on network programs that made the cultural leap into online and viral videos.

    EP 132 - Billy Joel On Late Night TV Part 2 (1973-1982)
    Feb 25 2025
    With more than 50 years of performances as a solo artist, Billy Joel’s songs and stage show have evolved alongside the formats for musical performances on late night television programs. Spots like these have always been valuable for developing artists to introduce themselves to new audiences. More established musicians often appear on them near the promotional kickoff for a new album or tour. Over the next two episodes, we’re exploring Billy Joel’s appearances on late night TV. Our first installment follows Billy as a budding singer-songwriter in the early 1970s, performing on a handful of post-primetime shows featuring live rock and roll performances. Billy was never a fan of television appearances, and even early in his career, he bends their formats whenever he can. Along with fiery renditions of his early songs, Billy uses his airtime to defend his positioning as compared to his contemporaries, do a few impressions and even jam on a few cover songs. Later, he fulfills the “Live” part of his second Saturday Night Live appearance, but does so from an unexpected location. Join us as we dig deep into Billy Joel’s late night TV appearances from 1973 to 1982.

    EP 131 - Billy Joel On Late Night TV Part 1 (with Steve Mandel of The Tonight Show)
    Feb 11 2025
    Late night television has been an important showcase for musical talent for well over half a century. The casts and crews make producing these shows seem effortless. But the truth is that it takes split-second timing and a tight knit team to get each episode on the air. In this two-part series, we’re exploring Billy Joel’s late-night TV appearances from the mid 70s through the current decade. But before we dive deep into these performances, we’ll get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the machinery behind the broadcasts. First up is our conversation with audio engineer and Roots music supervisor Steve Mandel. A longtime friend of the podcast, Steve has worked with the hip hop group The Roots since the mid-90s. He and the band have collaborated on nearly 3,000 episodes of Jimmy Fallon’s late-night talk shows over the past 16 years. In this episode, we explore the precise timing and careful choices that go into every episode. Steve also recounts his experiences meeting Billy the times he was a guest on the Tonight Show.
