TiVo Alert: Reminders for Stephen Colbert on NBC, CTV and PBS tonight

I can’t imagine that anyone’s forgotten about the abundance of options we’ll have for Colbert-watching tonight, but Comedy Central gives us some hints on when to watch the various channels (internal links omitted):

Stephen Colbert Is All Over The TV Landscape Tonight
Posted by: Gonzalo Cordova

During NBC’s Olympic coverage, Bob Costas will be interviewing Stephen Colbert. The interview will air sometimes between 9:30 and 11 pm / 8:30 and 10 c. Also, Colbert will be featured on the second episode of the PBS series Faces of America airing tonight at 8 pm / 7 c.

. . .

Full entry available here

I’m not sure how much our friends in Canada will see of the NBC coverage, but CTV News will be re-airing a brief interview with Stephen that they conducted earlier today; according to this, their interview will be rerun at 7 tonight. Happy TV watching, folks!


UPDATED TO ADD: As was obvious to all of you who watched NBC’s coverage tonight, Stephen’s segment did not air as scheduled. We’re not sure whether he was bumped to later tonight, to tomorrow, or some other channel, but we’ll let you know if we hear any news.

I’m disappointed not to have seen Stephen’s segment tonight but, in fairness, I’m not sure how much could have been trimmed from the broadcast to squeeze him in. I really wouldn’t have been happy if NBC had cut away from the athletes it showed tonight, either. I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for some Stephen Colbert extras in the near future — are you listening, NBC?


FURTHER UPDATED: Stephen’s interview should be coming up shortly (before 12:30am), so night owls will be rewarded if you keep watching. Thanks for not leaving us hanging for too long, Bob Costas!

      I second that! At least for the Olympics. I haven’t got a TV, and I’m not sure I want to download all the stuff NBC wants me to in order to see streaming coverage online. Pleeeeease?

        Yes! Uploading will be much appreciated. And hopefully in a format that can be viewed from outside the U.S.

          That’s pretty doubtful, tomorrow is the finals for men’s figure skating and that’s a major thing for them that will probably run over on it’s own…Maybe they’ll stick it in on another speedskating full night?

    He will be on in a few minutes. Just wanted to say that I watched tonight’s show on replay and it was so great to see Shani win and smile like that! After the way the men’s curling team has lost, I was afraid someone would accuse Stephen of being a jinx!

      I loved how he had Bob giggling with the fireplace.

      Reutter did good, just sorta got pushed into the blocks and was playing catch up from there. Look forward to seeing her in the other events.

      • lockhart43 says:

        Me too! He had the crew laughing throughout the whole interview as well, it was great. :)

        Was sad to see Reutter get pushed out in the semis. But I am looking forward to seeing her in the other events, especially the relay. And I definitely loved when they cut away to Reutter’s dad and he was sporting the red Colbert Nation hat!

          Reutter has merchandise for sale as well. I bought a sweatshirt that says rooting for reutter.

          I love our speedskaters.

          I think post Olympics we all need to give an additional donation and I hope that we set up a non-profit organization to support the speedskaters. I think they are the most entertaining sports in the Olympics, and we as a nation need to support their effort.

    Someone has posted a very little bit on YouTube (the part with Stephen climbing into the fireplace), so you can at least watch as Stephen cracks up Costas and crew here.

    Aww, you gotta be kidding me. I was watching NBC all nigt last night and was thinkng “hmm, I thought Stephen was supposed to be on tonight…” But since I never saw him and they never mentioned anything about him, I ended up just turning the tv off at 12am since I was falling asleep anyway. I clearly should have been checking nofactzone for updates. Well, here’s to hoping that the whole interview gets posted online soon.

    But every event was sooo good last night! I loved the mens half pipe.

    NBC-bad network, very bad. You don’t bump Stephen to after midnight–that is wrong.
    That video better be online. They said it would be between 9:30 and 11. I think I fell asleep at like 12 right before it came on, dammit!!!

    I’m sad (and almost mad) that NBC didn’t air Stephen’s interview until 12:25 since I was hoping this would be his chance to reach a wider audience, but I’m glad they aired it and hope they repeat the fireplace segment during primetime tonight. Never have I seen Bob Costas laugh so hard. Stephen brings out the best laughs in everyone:)
