Yesterday, together with my two small thin slobs, I travelled to the big City for a taping of the last Colbert Report of 2006.
We were the last ones to gain entry -- about twenty behind us, with tickets, were turned away with promises of VIP tickets (guaranteed entry) when the show resumes in January. Before the show, Colbert entertained the audience with several verses of his favorite Christmas carol -- O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.
What a great show it was. Featuring Henry Kissinger, in an appearance reminiscent of his former boss's turn on Laugh-In, and NY Governor elect Elliott Spitzer, participating as judges in Colbert's "Rock and Awe" Guitarmaggedon Showdown featuring performances by Peter Frampton, Rick Nielsen (who tossed Cheap Trick picks into the audience, one landing in my lap), the guy from the Decemberists, among others, and an on-camera appearance (of a sort) by ABFS.
