So as Stephen’s first day of filming in Canada closed yesterday, it seems like every media outlet known to man has decided to write a report about it. We’re going to do our best here to gather up the best of what’s out there so far.
- The LA Times has an article describing Stephen’s warm welcome in Vancouver: “‘This was a welcome we would not have imagined in our wildest dreams,’ Colbert said with rare sincerity. ‘I want to take back everything I ever said about Canada.’”
- ESPN asks whether Stephen Colbert would like to be run over by the Zamboni. His answer? “”I would like to try. I’d like to lie down in front of it to see if it could make me smooth. It would be dermabrasion and also lower the swelling at the same time. That would be great. That would be a very expensive spa procedure, to get viciously Zambonied.”
- The NBC Olympic page has some amazing eye candy of Stephen Colbert filming at the Richmond Olympic Oval yesterday, as well as the ‘Colbert Report’ taping in Creekside Park.
- Lest we forget, Canada has some media outlets as well. The Toronto Sun discusses Stephen’s role as Assistant Sports Psychologist for the 2010 U.S. Olympic Speedskating team. His visualization for the team is “Imagine that I have stuffed your suit with meat, and I have released wild dogs on the ice.”
- Thanks to the many Zoners who let me know that the Bob Costas interview with Stephen Colbert that aired late last night is available for viewing on the NBC Olympic page.
We’ve also got lots more news reports, YouTube videos and eye candy to post, and we’ll keep blogging as fast as we can. So stay tuned for the latest about Stephen Colbert in Vancouver!

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 CordovaDuring 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.
. . .
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!

Bob Costas rides the moose for Stephen Colbert
By · CommentsEarlier today, I briefly snorted with laughter when I saw a tweet that said “Colbert showed up in vancouver to 10X the crowd they had set up for… The crowd chanted until Bob Costas rode the giant moose.” There’s really nothing about the idea of Bob Costas riding a moose that isn’t funny (and I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before someone makes up an entry for “ride the moose” on UrbanDictionary.com).
So now my day is that much more wonderful, because now we have art:
I’ll put some more Eye Candy after the fold, but you should check out ShotinVancouver.com for the full set. (Note to the ShotinVancouver people, the name of the “Miracle on Ice” guest you were looking for is Mike Eruzione. He was our team captain in ‘80 when the US beat the Soviets.)

Stephen Colbert ‘Reports’ to Olympic Games
By · CommentsFrom the Vancouver Sun:
Stephen Colbert welcomed to the Vancouver Olympic Games by cheering crowd and Canadian bald eagle
By Harold Munro, Vancouver Sun
February 17, 2010 12:47 PM
Hundreds of fans went wild Wednesday morning as late-night comedian Stephen Colbert brought his faux conservative talk show to Creekside Park, located next to Science World in Vancouver.
He shared the stage with a stuffed moose, First Nations’ thunderbird totem, fake snow, assorted skis, hockey sticks, snowshoes and U.S. and Canadian flags.
There is also a giant poster of Colbert astride an eagle carrying an Olympic torch.
As hoot, cheers and hollers greeted the U.S. comic to the stage, Colbert implored the crowd: “One last thing — if I f—k up, forgive me.”
. . .
I seriously love this gig. I read someone’s tweet earlier that said Stephen and Michael Bublé did a rendition of “O Canada” to the tune of “The Star-Spangled Banner”, and I can only wait with bated breath to see whether it shows up on next week’s episodes.
EDITED TO ADD: You can find more photos from the event here and here.
FURTHER ADDING: The AP has some video of Stephen making his way through the Canadian “mob”. They had a great turnout for today’s taping; here’s hoping tomorrow’s is equally impressive.
