Late Night With Stephen Colbert Opening Credits Feature Roosevelt Island Tram Cabins Passing Above East River

On Tuesday night I was watching the debut of Late Night With Stephen Colbert. The opening credits came on with scenes from NYC when all of a sudden I was stunned to see the Roosevelt Island Tram passing over the East River

with the name of the Late Show Band - Jon Batiste & Stay Human on the sides of the cabin.

Just saw Roosevelt Island Tram featured in opening credits of Late Show With Stephen Colbert
