Joy! HuffPo got its hands on videographer/journalist Liz Glover‘s video from Rahm Emanuel’s roast of Stephen Colbert at last night’s Roast for Spina Bifida event! I can’t embed it here, but click here or on the photo below to go to HuffPo’s full coverage.
H/t to wildlymissingthemark for the link!
EDIT:
It appears that the video has been removed, but HuffPo does have a large quantity of quotes written out from the appearance. Hope you caught it while it was available. -DB
EDIT II:
Thanks to Lisa, who found another copy of the vid. And it’s embeddable! You rock!!

Stephen’s speech is included too!

So great. It was king of hard to hear sometimes, but wonderful all the same. Man, can Stephen skewer people!
I hope people take him up on his offer, and come on the show with the receipts from their donations.

hehehe! I like Stephen laughing/clapping at footage of his own program!
overall, that was fun to watch! (it seems like Mr Emmanuel spent most of the time roasting himself…)

Never gets old. ;)
I was expecting to see the picture of Rahm pecking Stephen on the cheek here, but laughing Stephen is great too! (C’mon Dana, crack a smile).

THANK YOU to Liz Glover. I had hoped so much that someone would come through in lieu of official video.
This was hilarious. Stephen is so on top right now.

Yes, we are eternally grateful to Liz Glover. Be sure your video goes into the National Archives or the Library of Congress. Seriously, get on it;)

I didn’t realize that Stephen would get the chance to roast his roasters, but he was amazing! Everything he said was hysterical, and it looked like he really enjoyed himself last night.
I agree with Jentaps. I would love to see people go on TCR with their receipts.

No wonder Rahm’s afraid of him! He dealt with the powers that be like the knife wielding chefs at Benihana deal with chicken breast. :)

What am I missing here? I thought the video would be an easy find. Your comments make me want to see it – help please? I can see the article but must be missing something somewhere.

Looks like HuffPo and/or LG was pressed to take it down. I did manage to save it; shoot me your email address and I’ll send you a link.

Oh wait, never mind. Now I don’t have to upload it! It’s on Google Video.

Cool – thanks. Nice to get an e-mail that there was a response to this. I love the non-Report side of his career antics. We probably agree that we can see that a real star is being born. I’d be freaking out if I were on the big screen in Times Square AND being inducted into The Smithsonian!

Thank you Lisa!
Brilliantly incisive, as always – and he looked like he was having a lot of fun, and nearly broke character a couple of times. At least we could hear the audience’s laughter (unlike the WHCAD!).
