Because I'm catching up with The Late Show, I just watched the Candice Bergen
episode. The intro and outro music for the second guest (New Zealand PM
Ardern), was mostly the Cole Porter standard "I Get A Kick Out of You." FWIW,
it was much easier to recognize in the outro than in the intro.
They carried the same tune through the short bumper that breaks up the long
commercial break around 12:25.

The Monk insight has been very helpful for me overall in thinking about this
I music on the show (if not about this specific instance). It suggests that,
while he occasionally plays guests on with music related to them, more often he
is working off of some other theme - maybe often related to jazz. We know that
when Aretha died he used her music for all of one show, and he recently used
all Prince music on occasion of a release of new music from his estate. I like
Jazz in general and Monk in particular, but unless it is from well known tracks
I would not recognize many references.
Perhaps the Murder, She Wrote theme was the closest tv reference to something
related to whatever musical theme he was using that night?
<Pause for quick Wikipedia check). The Murder theme was written by British
composer John Addison who died in 1998. He did a lot of film and TV scores, and
some classical compositions. Maybe Batiste studied some of this things in grad
school. I vaguely recognize the story the Wikis tell that Addison had been a
British solider involved in Operation Market Garden, and then wrote the score
to the film “A Bridge Too Far” about the ill-fated operation.
