ByHahahahaha!! If you read Ann G’s latest Zeitgeist post, you saw the Page Six story about Stephen sabotaging the backstage interview between Bob Woodruff and Bruce Springsteen at Stand Up for Heroes.

Posted: 1:05 AM, November 6, 2009Bob Woodruff was interviewing Bruce Springsteen backstage at the Stand Up for Heroes benefit Wednesday, but made the mistake of taping it too near a bathroom. A spy reports, “Every time Springsteen started speaking, the toilet began flushing. They restarted the interview, but the loud flushing continued.” Turned out Stephen Colbert was sabotaging the audio on purpose — to much amusement. The event raised more than $1.3 million for the Bob Woodruff Foundation.
I mention it here because some video from just after that incident has turned up. Delightful!

It never ceases to amaze me how even when I’ve had kind of a crappy day, Colbert comes through and forces me to smile. *shakes fist* Damn you Colbert!! You broke my bad mood AGAIN!

LOL! I guess this would fall into the “Well I thought it was funny.” category.

Haha! Yeah. I think Bruce and Bob were trying to cover their frown with a smile. Whatever. “Oh Bob…”

I know!! He can get away with murder because he’s so polite, and so joyous about it.
