Mad props to Hilary for sending us this link from CollegeHumor.com (and to DB for sending it my way)! Here’s Stephen, from his office at The Colbert Report, giving Dan Levy (of The I Have To Go In A Minute Show) advice on how to be a better host:
My goodness, isn’t that wonderful! He’s so relaxed and casual. Thanks to Hilary for sharing!

If I ever have the opportunity to meet Stephen again, I’m packing a necktie. I need, ummm, lessons.

i want stephen to comb my hair. also, i think i would classify his casual style as “sexy frumpy.”
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
“Sexy frumpy.” Brilliant! You captured it! Only Stephen could pull off that look:)

OMG THAT WAS MADE OF WIN! So many squeal-tastic moments!
He eats! I never thought he’d get the time!

And he has a LOTR pinball machine! Of course. How cute!
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
We had that same pinball machine at the place I worked at a few years ago. It’s sort of the best pinball machine ever. :P Of course it’s one of those lame things where I can say, “omg stephen has the same pinball machine that i used to play on my breeeeaaaks.”

LOL That was great.
But now I want a sandwich.

Omg. Stephen combed his hair. I’d never heard of this show before but this was amazing. I’m wondering if he knows Stephen or if he just lucked out on the interview. I love the glimpses into Stephen’s office.
ooh weird recaptcha just gave me numbers, that’s new.

also, this interview feels like student host going in for office hours with dr. stephen t. colbert.

THAT is excellent my friends. I was actually laughing (the way I do for TCR) when Stephen was offended that he was “just a guest.” I like the guests on the index cards in the office too!
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
That was so wonderful — I love watching Stephen out of character. *sigh*
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one trying to read the index cards in the background. I loved looking at all the trinkets and things fans have sent in over the years all over his office. Gotta love the Nation…

Tiger and Lisa, I was trying to read the index cards in the background too.
This video was a great find! I love seeing Stephen out of character. Thank you Hilary, DB and MsI.

Thanks for posting that! Can I just say that Stephen looks good enough to eat in that clip? Oh my. And the hands..okay, I have no idea where that fangurl came from, apologies.
I agree, glimpses of the office were great and I love Mr. Colbert out of character.

All I’ll say is:
he has a guitar! he has a guitar!
(that just made him 10 levels sexier just by having one casually put in the corner of his office.)
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
I agree with this comment; I thought the same thing when I saw it, too.
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
this was such a great vid. is hilary siegal a staff member on TCR? cuz I think I remember the name from the credits.
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
She is (or was) his assistant, I think.
God I love this video. I wish there was a way to save it permanently. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
SO. MUCH. WIN. *flails*
Anybody else notice the award he decided not to give Bush hanging behind his Emmys? “From: Stephen Colbert; To: George W. Bush; To Recognize That You Are President of the United States.” HEE.
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
I noticed that, too. I feel bad that he has a ‘shoulda, woulda, coulda’ about that night.
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
That was awesome! I love when Stephen was on the elliptical machine in the beginning, and when Stephen was showing him how to tie a tie. Thanks to Hilary, DB and Ms I for sharing! :)

Great vid; thanks for sharing.
Really funny interview…and *definitely* the live version! ;D
What a neat office!

Hahaha, that was so great! I love seeing all the little decorations in his office.

i looked dan levy up. apparently he really did get a jumpstart to his career as a comedian:
Enrolled at Emerson College in Boston, Dan jump-started his career as a stand-up comedian while maintaining his full-time student status. By the end of his freshman year, Dan performed regularly at The Comedy Connection, Nick’s Comedy Stop, and The Comedy Studio. He spent that summer interning for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and performing at various New York City venues, such as The Comic Strip Live.

note that last sentence. :D

Ah that explains a lot. I take it Stephen was still at TDS at the time. Nice of Stephen to take the time to help out a former intern.
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
Knowing how thoughtful and generous Stephen is, I’m not surprised, but cool just the same.

I can’t get enough of this video. Has there ever been another segment where we’ve seen so much of his office? Just love the casual feel of the segment and that wonderful retro music.
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
i agree it really is a great segment
Shout Out (Hey!): 0
The kiwi frame reminds me of tonight’s segment, when he did the “tickling of the rocks”.
