<p>Butler started working on <em>Masters </em>“a week after” his three-year stint as Elvis ended, he told Colbert. “I had a week off after <em>Elvis</em>... it was almost too fast.” </p>
<p>Colbert asked how the transition went, to which Butler responded, “I was just trying to remember who <em>I</em> was, you know, what<em> I </em>like to do... all I thought about for three years was Elvis.” </p>
