This use of recognizable tunes is pretty recent - within the last week of shows. Friday, since Beethoven and Mozart were part of the Friday Night Fights segment, the band played some of their pieces during the remainder of the show.
I am assuming some money has been cleared up to handle the rights fees. Maybe they have finally stabilized the roster of musicians backing up the band and can use some money on music. There's now an EP out of band music from The Late Show - https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-late-show-ep/id1079053639 (all the tracks are also available via YouTube). FWIW, there's a repeat on Friday, but the rest of the week should be new shows.

Was something different? Well, it appears they're allowed to play actual songs for guest walk-ons now, as opposed to bizarre jazz odysseys written by their bass player. So that's something. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
