Antony Blinken jammed with Stephen Colbert’s house band at the end of his interview on Wednesday’s broadcast of “The Late Show.”

“I long wanted to be a musician as a kid. As a teenager, that’s what I wanted to do. There was just one missing ingredient: talent,” Blinken joked to Colbert before joining the musicians onstage.

Blinken’s love of music, history of playing guitar and band ABLinken is long known, with himself describing his sound as “wonk rock.”
