Thanks to Jennie who found this enlightening, and hysterical, article from the NBC Olympics website:
Backstage at The Colbert Report with Katherine Reutter
“I just want to be careful of something,” Colbert said toward the end of the segment. “Do you have regular drug testing?”
“Yes, we do,” Reutter said.
“OK, Snoop Dogg is on the show tonight. I want to make sure we’re keeping you on a separate floor from him.”
This was not a joke. Reutter was actually backstage on a separate floor from Snoop — the show’s staff made sure to keep Reutter safely away from Snoop’s greenroom, for reasons that were obvious to anyone within one block of the studio. The scent managed to leak to the sidewalk, where it was noticed by members of the studio audience who were waiting to get in. Fans who arrived without knowing who Monday night’s guest was were momentarily confused, until they were filled in on the lineup.
Can you imagine?! Talk about a crazy audience experience! Here’s the interview with Stephen Colbert and Katherine Reutter if you missed it last night.
That’s hilarious. I love that it was actually true.
And I’d like to meet some of those fans who noticed the scent.
And apparently my re-captcha phrase is having a laugh in my expense: ex ecstasy

I can hear the collective “ooooohhh” moment of the audience when they realized who the guest was and put two and two together.

Reutter has t-shirts available at her website. I bought one to help support a US speedskater and cause she’s hawt.

I can just imagine the conversations people were having:
“Hey what’s that smell? It smells like…”
“Well, Snoop Dogg’s a guest on The Colbert Report tonight.”
“Ohhhhh I understand. Makes sense now.” HAHA!
I loved that interview with Reutter last night. It was 5 different kinds of adorable. :)

Snoop has a prescription for insomnia.
He plays it off legit, unlike some fronters I won’t mention.

I thought Snoop looked even more baked than usual–which is saying quite a bit! I’m sure everyone had a contact high or at least thought they did.
