The Beatles on Ed Sullivan. Nirvana on Saturday Night Live. Warren Zevon on David Letterman. Sometimes, late-night TV musical performances live on forever. Most don’t. But we still want to talk about them.

Each week on “Tonight’s Musical Guest, Today”, long-time friends Alex Beaton and Jon Hillman dive in on the music and cultural memory of a band through the arc of their late-night TV performances. Watch along with Alex and Jon as they examine and react to these musical history moments preserved in the amber of time alongside two celebrity guests and a talk show host.

From Conan to Colbert, Letterman to Leno, or SNL to MadTV, there is no shortage of iconic late-night musical moments. And no end to the ones you don’t remember.

  • Björk
    2025/05/04

    She emerged from the caves of Iceland with a singular voice and singular vision. As the ultimate blank check artist, she combined international textures with innovative electronic landscapes to both astound and baffle listeners. It's BJÖRK week!

    Björk leans into her Sugarcubes and London club influences early with quirky and catchy performances on Conan and Leno. A turmoil-filled run up to Homogenic produces an intense 1997 performance on Jools Holland with an Icelandic string octet. The swan dress overshadows a sparse and haunting Oscars performance of I've Seen it All. Björk is backed by a renowned harpist, found sound DJ producers, and a Greenland Inuit women's choir on Japanese television. And Alex and Jon display a shocking lack of knowledge regarding the female anatomy.

  • The Pogues with Kevin Bogart
    2025/04/20

    Mix 1 part traditional irish folk, 2 parts punk, and 3 parts irish whiskey (just not the protestant kind): stir and drink well. Grab a Guinness and sing along: it's THE POGUES week!

    Joining the show is a long-time friend who played many a sweaty Boston punk show with Alex and Jon over the years, Kevin Bogart (Trophy Lungs, Better Sense)! Kevin and the guys discuss the upcoming New Warden/Trophy Lungs reunion show at O'Briens before tackling the idiot savant genius nature of Shane MacGowan. We kick off the show with The Pogues baffling a crowd of hip London teens on The Tube. A French filmmaker produces a TV documentary for British television at the height of Rum Sodomy & the Lash. The Pogues join the nation of Ireland by honoring 25 years of The Dubliners, and it is the most Irish thing you'll ever see. And Fairytale of New York sends Shane and the guys off on a path of fame and messiness that ends today with a Letterman clip in 1993 (without Shane).

  • Dinosaur Jr. with Evan Minsker
    2025/04/06

    This western Massachusetts trio combined elements of hardcore, folk, and guitar virtuosity to become unlikely godfathers of grunge. But in between classic 80s indie releases and 2000s reunion albums, lots of other stuff happened too. We discuss. It's DINOSAUR JR. week!

    Joining the show is the creator of the indie punk and rock publication see/saw and former Pitchfork News Editor Evan Minsker! After giving the first Lou Barlow era its needed time up top, the guys watch the band's network TV debut 7 years after its formation on Letterman. It's a very World's Most Dangerous Band episode, featuring punk chimes in a '93 clip. Dinosaur Jr. performs a forgotten rap-rock jam on Arsenio with the ridiculous lineup of Del tha Funky Homosapien, Mike Watt, and Mike D. The Mike Johnson era of the band reaches its pinnacle with Feel the Pain on Letterman. The guys are too old to party with their daughter on the Jenny Jones show. And the triumphant return of Lou kicks off on Craig Ferguson in 2005.
