On Thursday, Feb. 6, the LATE SHOW welcomes The Flaming Lips, joined by special guest Sean Lennon, son of the late John Lennon, who will perform “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” The music lineup for Friday, Feb. 7 will be announced next week.

Also visiting the LATE SHOW the week of Feb. 3 will be actor Will Arnett, star of the hit CBS comedy series THE MILLERS, who lends his voice to the upcoming “The Lego Movie” (Feb. 3); actor George Clooney, who stars in the new film “The Monuments Men,” which he also co-wrote and co-produced (Feb. 4); actor Matt Damon, who stars with Clooney in “The Monuments Men” (Feb. 5); actor Michael Keaton, who stars in the upcoming remake of the classic “RoboCop” (Feb. 6); and actress Amy Adams, who recently received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for “American Hustle” (Feb. 7).
