Colbert: The Harvard Interview
Here's a talk with someone whose candor levels are unusually high. Someone at work forwarded this to me:
Conversation with Stephen Colbert at Harvard's "John F. Kennedy Forum"
Unfortunately, you need to install the Real Player to watch it, something I normally wouldn't recommend anyone do, but you can always uninstall it when you're done. This interview is worth the trouble, since it's a fairly candid and, at least in my experience, rare out-of-character interview (done town-hall-style) with one of the finest political satirist-performers working today. It's also very interesting to see him in a Q&A with students -- some of the questions are obnoxious, but the reality and honesty (i.e. candor) found in this interview makes it way more entertaining and meaningful than it would have been in a more controlled environment.
Also, if you haven't seen the video of Stephen's already-legendary remarks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, go here:
