when I was there the week before you they also had the outside of the building blocked off for the whole weekend, with the same signage.
I feel like the phrase “Christmas special” might have been uttered at some time…but like it was a bit of an overwhelming experience so I am not positively sure…

Sorry for taking so long to chime in on this, but I was at the July 31st taping (Go, Buzz!) and there were signs up all along the street in front of the studio stating No Parking for the week because the Colbert Report was shooting. While I waited on line, someone came out and hung new signs with dates through the end of following week. Once we were all inside, Mark (adorable, sweet, incredibly patient audience-wrangler Mark) had to stall for time while the show got tweaked after rehearsal so, among other things, he asked if anyone had any questions. I asked what the show was taping out on the street and he replied with something vague about “a special”. I got very excited and mouthed, “A Christmas special?!”, and he paused for a second before doing the whole ‘can’t confirm, can’t deny, can’t give details” thing. I had to try very hard not to squeal.

I also won a Colbert Report tee-shirt for the friend I was with by naming 5 things on the set (geeked out and proud).

I like the stockings too. It looks like his clothes still have the anti-theft devices on them. That’s too funny!

A Colbert Christmas: For those who can’t get to Branson, Missouri, to see Andy Williams!

If you want a shock, listen to Perry Como’s speaking voice and then his singing voice (YouTube has a lot of clips from his 1950s television show). You wouldn’t believe it came from the same person!

Good call on Perry Como! He’s got that image down to a tee (or T?). However, Stephen is far sexier in a cardigan:)
