When John Mulaney appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, keen listeners might have been jolted by his walk-out song: the title track off Bruce Hornsby’s latest studio output, Indigo Park. In a clip, now shared by “The Way It Is” singer, the comedian gives Hornsby his flowers by way of praise of the new record, which he called “Best album of the year!”
The scene opens with Mulaney greeting the host before pointing a finger at a member of the program’s house band. The video, which can be viewed below, finds the comedian asking keyboardist Jeff Babko if he got the “YouTubes I sent you of Bruce Hornsby?” Mulaney tacks on a quick “Yeah, they’re great,” before Kimmel brings the comment full circle, explaining he found the set of music through a post on Babko’s Instagram.
Mulaney then takes a moment to clarify their back and forth through the declaration: “Bruce Hornsby has a new album out called ‘Indigo Park.’ Best album of the year!”
Before Kimmel could change the subject, Mulaney announced, “Also, June 16-17, live at the Troubador, Bruce Hornsby. I can’t attend, but you should.” As a rhetorical, Kimmel quibbed: “You’re touring so much, you’re plugging other people’s shows.” Watch below.
