I really hope footage of this turns up somewhere …

Evidently, Jon is hosting the “upfront” for MTV Networks right now. And, according to The Washington Post, he was joined onstage by Stephen (and a bag of Doritos).

[In progress] MTV Networks (NYSE: VIA) is bringing out as many diverse stars as possible for what is nevertheless considered a more scaled down upfront presentation this year. Justin Timberlake, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Rock, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, George Foreman and Sarah Silverman have been enlisted to help convince advertisers to part with more of the budget.
. . .
MTV is hosting its event around the corner from its offices at Times Square’s Nokia (NYSE: NOK) Theatre. The show is beginning now with a performance by hip hop dance troupe Jabbawockeez, with Jon Stewart taking the stage to host. “I thought we don’t do these anymore; that’s why we had the writers strike,” he quipped at the opening, as he was joined on stage by Stephen Colbert with his ever-present bag of Doritos.

The original article is being updated as the upfront progresses; read it here
Jon and Stephen, together again! A job in advertising hasn’t sounded this exciting since Cary Grant played an ad man in North by Northwest … and I doubt many people would have gone into the ad biz after watching that.

I’m crossing my fingers that there is a responsible YouTube poster out there! Think how less we would see of Stephen if it was 15 years ago!

Perish the thought!
But, seriously, I sometimes wonder how different my adult life would be without the internet — to think I went my entire childhood and young adulthood without it! The good news, of course, is that I never had to deal with “cyber-bullying” on top of actual bullying during my pre-teen and teenage years.
Anyway, yea for more available Stephen footage!!

Oh I hope hope hope it gets posted somewhere!
The quote in the article “Who knew kids would be into classic rock? Long live Led Zeppelin” reminds me of the new Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, SC. Who doesn’t love a rock ‘n roll themed … well, theme park? (Sorry for the OT-ness.)

I guess they taping late today?

Oh yeah, actually, they may have taped earlier. Like when Stephen was interviewing that cosmonaut earlier today, it sounded like there was a studio audience there.
And I honestly cannot imagine my life without the Internet. We really would see so much less of Colbert. And no NoFactZone! What a sad thought!

Looks like Stephen really is all that, and a bag of chips. (Sorry, I had to.)
Just checked the Internets, and I wasn’t able to find anything yet.
