Stephen Colbert supports the troops on his journey to Iraq

Looks like Stephen is already hard at work, and the troops are loving it!

Just another day…. with Stephen Colbert!

Today at work I ran into Stephen Colbert. From Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report”. He is one of my favorite comedians. Anyhow, he’s flying to Iraq to do a series, and had a layover at my airport. So I went right in and started chatting with him. Hilarious guy.

    I *thought* they might have left either Wednesday night, or Thursday.
    The ‘Thursday’ show was a perfect patchwork quilt of stuff recorded on Monday night (after Monday’s show), and stuff from when David Byrne was on the show.
    Very Tricky! hahahahaha!

    Be careful out there kids!!!! =D

    Good vids; thanks for the link.
