From Brian: Five Things About Appearing on The Colbert Report
Thursday, November 07, 2013 - 08:57 AM
On Wednesday night, Brian was invited to the Colbert Report to
speak with Stephen about the New York City mayor's race and more. A few
of Brian's takeaways:
- The entire staff is gracious and professional. Some are even listeners!
- They pre-interviewed me on the day before, which I guess helps Stephen and the producers write jokes.
- Stephen himself was very nice, touching base with me out of character before the taping.
- It's a real trick to be a guest on that show, because you're there to deliver some kind of real information or opinion, but wrapped in the context of talking to the fake blowhard character.
- The best advice I got from his producers was to talk to him like he was some rich drunk idiot at a bar.
