Tuesday night marked the start of the first episode of "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert." And the funnyman kicked things off with a patriotic tone — by singing "The Star-Spangled Banner."

Let's look at how Colbert started his "Late Show" era and the surprise he had at the end of his performance.

The show starts on a baseball diamond in New York City's Central Park with Colbert at the mound as he begins to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner."
