SPOILER ALERT: Breaking news! Sir Paul McCartney to be on ‘Colbert Report’ January 28th

According to to a press release just announced by Comedy Central, Paul McCartney will be appearing on ‘The Colbert Report’ on Wednesday, January 28th. According to the release, “McCartney’s appearance will be his first and only scheduled U.S. late-night appearance in support of the new album, Electric Arguments, released under The Fireman alias used by McCartney and producer/musician Youth.” What a score, Team Colbert!

This abounds with so many possibilities. I cannot WAIT for this! Of course, the first thing I thought of when I heard this was Lost Beatles Moments from the Dana Carvey show (starting at 2:58).

    HAHA, great idea, vigwig! Or since Stephen is now “black”, maybe they can do Ebony and Ivory. (I never did like that song, though).

    Wow! Fantastic “get”!

    Of course, the mere mention of Paul McCartney appearing on the show reminds me of one of my favorite jokes from The Report, just before the Starbucks ThreatDown Shower Scene.

    OK – this is the 2nd time today this has happened – I’m getting that the video is not available in my country. Is this happening to anyone else? I’ve never heard of YouTube videos being blocked by country.

    Sorry to rant, but it’s really bizarre. Why would it be blocked? (I’m assuming it’s not just Italy…)

    What’s really weird is that I’ve watched this video before. It just would have been nice to see it again. :(

    Oh… and it’s cool that Sir Paul will be on the show. At least I can watch that. [goes in corner and pouts some more]

      I’m in Canada, and I got the same message (first time I’ve seen that on YouTube as well).

      It happens to us all the time here in the Philippines. We can’t view select Madonna or Britney Spears videos. I don’t know about this one because YouTube is blocked here at work, I’ll have to check at home later.

    That’s just great — and I’m going to miss it! If there’s decent internet connection at the hotel in Jamaica, at least I’ll be able to experience it vicariously via NFZ in proper Sir Paul fashion. ;) j/k
