This entry is fairly non-specific (we don’t know who, exactly, is being interviewed, what the angle on the story will be or when it will run), but Stephen’s “field” segments usually bring a lot of laughs. From The Blonde Mule:
Today The Colbert Report is coming TO MY OFFICE to interview my boss. They’re interviewing him on a bill he passed earlier this year that will allow people with handgun carry permits to carry their guns into restaurants that serve alcohol.
It’s a multi-location shoot, so it’s going to take all day. Stephen Colbert isn’t coming, apparently his producer does the interview then they edit Stephen in in post. Who knew? Regardless, it’s really effing cool.
I feel like I’m Bff with both the producer & her assistant because I’ve talked to them so much in setting this up. I think I’m going to ask her if I can come take a tour of the studio when I’m up there in a few weeks.
Sounds like fun! (And I have to say it: that taxidermied squirrel on the site is too funny. It lends such an Amy Sedaris vibe to the blog.)
Hey, I’m in Nashville, but who knows where they’ll be? probably downtown somewhere. Wish I could go snoop, but I have to go to class. Looking forward to finding out more…

Alcohol and guns – what a combination! I like the squirrel too.

@ Kina,
That was my thought, exactly. For a split second when I first read this, I assumed TCR was filming in VA; Gov. Tim Kaine just vetoed a bill like this one yesterday. I understand that there are gun owners out there who are very safety conscious and who could probably be trusted with their guns pretty much anywhere … but there are also a lot of idiots out there, and they’re the ones I’m worried about when people start talking about combining drinking with firearms. Yikes!

@Kinasthesia
Those were my exact thoughts too.
I’m looking foward to seeing this segment. I have enjoyed all of the field pieces they’ve been doing on TCR lately.
