Klassic Kolbert: OMG! SPACE!

reisman_interview_2

Those of you who have followed Stephen’s love affair with NASA over the past few years should know the name Garrett Reisman very well.

In honor of his service to NASA and his status as one of the heroes of the Colbert Nation, I thought it would be appropriate to revisit that first interview from the International Space Station. “We’ve gone galactic!”

Pop Culture references from the Colbert Report

Sholem-aleykhem Zoners! I hope your Daylight Savings Time was…ok, maybe not enjoyable, but I sure hope you remembered it! Hey, it’s the only bit of time travel I’ve ever done, so at least I have that going for me. It was a great week of shows, and it sure challenged my fact finding noggin, which I always enjoy.

Stephen Colbert, on what he’s giving up for Lent

In 2007, Stephen famously gave up sweets for Lent, which was a massive deal considering that in that Lenten season was the debut of the Ben and Jerry’s Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream ice cream. Last year, in a Q&A before the show, someone asked Stephen what he gave up for Lent and he said he said “myself”. He said he’s not reading press about himself, the show, or the character, because it can get kind of poisonous to read about yourself all the time. But he needs to know about responses to the character for the show, so he has his writers fill him in.
