Thanks for the report! It’s especially awesome that you got to go to that taping, since Stephen was in SUCH a great mood. The fact that he enjoyed the “nuclear explosion” bit so much is awesome. Just imagining him laughing along with the audience at his own sound effects makes me smile. :)

Wait a minute. I think there was a word missing there, but did you mean that Stephen made the lady come over and kiss him?!

Thanks for the report. How cute that he got all shy about D&D role playing:)

You could never be long-winded enough!

Thanks for your report. As a Colbert fan never able to make the long journey to the north, I appreciate these types of comments.

Also thanks so much for your first handed report. I’m glad you had a fantastic time. Were you able to get pictures outside the studio?

Wow, thanks for being so friendly to the new girl!! :-)

As for the taping report, I’ll try not to go on and on, because talking about Stephen I know I could!!

He of course answered questions at the beginning, one particularly funny one involved LARPing (live action role play). A woman asked if he ever LARPed Dungeons and Dragons scenarios. He answered, “If I said yes, no woman would ever desire me again!” Then he said, “No, of course I didn’t,” while nodding his head yes. So cute.

As I mentioned before, he flubbed the intro three times before filming the one that actually aired. In between the first and second segments, he shot off wrist-strong bracelets (one went over my head, I just managed to touch it before the guy behind me caught it. Sad) and then shouted, “Did you two just kiss back there?” to a couple sitting in the back row. They must have answered yes because Stephen said, “Hey, if you bring enough for one, you bring enough for us all,” and made to come over and kiss the woman!!

When the Better Know a Lobby segment aired, Stephen watched it very intently on his monitor and enjoyed the “nuclear explosion” just as much as we all did. That segment absolutely killed in our audience, it was hysterical.

What surprised me the most was the Cevin Soling segment, as filmed, went on for almost 20 minutes! Stephen actually let Cevin talk for quite some time without interruption, which I think we know by now means he respects and is interested in the subject.

He only briefly shook the hands of those in the front row at the end of the show and then headed out. But it was still such a great experience and so wonderful to see him out of character and enjoying the show as much as we all do.

Sorry if this was long winded! Great to finally talk to some of you!

Man, Stephen was on FIRE last night! The push-ups, the portrayal of a nuclear explosion, the sanction, marry, and bomb bits were the best. Especially the portrayal of the nuclear explosion, I was completely cracking up through that whole thing. But also, Stephen just seemed in a great mood, really firing away at his guests.
