BRILLIANT interview with Stephen Colbert

[dillont]

Full disclosure, I love Stephen Colbert, and what he's done with his show, and his political satire.

I just watched an amazing interview with Colbert by Eric Schmidt (CEO of Google). It was a terse, pointed and uncomfortable interview to watch; and to watch Stephen slide in and out of character throughout was just brilliant.

Colbert has got to be the most intelligent comedian the world has ever known. It has to be fun to be a genius in that environment... I've never seen a Colbert interview where the other person could compete with his knowledge and wit.

Good interview. Thanks for posting.

I agree with you! I think Colbert is a genius. Did you see his year long effort on his show to expose the PAC and Super-PAC structure and lobbying power of these things? It was really educational, and showed how these PAC / SuperPAC systems were influencing politics, and he also showed some of their corrupting influences.

I'm in complete awe of Colbert.
