MTV Nets: We’ve got connections
Celebrates relationships at its upfront presentation
May 8, 2008, 07:38 PM
After a year of upfront presentation silence, MTV Networks rocked the house with a celebration of its connection to its audiences and advertisers.
. . .
Colbert and Stewart riffed on the commercial partnerships, with Colbert coming out with a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and integrating it into their bit.
Stewart opened the show’s remarks, saying that he didn’t think upfront presentations like this were done anymore. “I thought that was the point of the writers strike … so we didn’t have to do this s#!t anymore,” he quipped.
Stewart and Colbert poked fun at the advertisers, thanking them for their mini-operas (30-second spots) “extolling products both needless and unwanted.” Stewart noted that their two talk shows on Comedy Central score well in adults 18-34.
“They trust us, and I think you can exploit that,” he said.

Was there ever footage of this MTV Networks thing in the past? Because I remember seeing pictures of Stephen with his khaki “field report” outfit on, since he was doing a bit in front of the green screen, but I have never seen video footage of that.

Stewart and Colbert always (well most of the time) make for some great television programming. Always funny stuff, but also really intelligent.
