Not only did my face manage to make it’s way onto the The Colbert Report last night, as I slept, but it did so as the voice of the Twittersphere.
Last night’s episode of The Colbert Report featured a special shout-out the Xbox 360 during the Tip/Wag segment. I guess we should all thank the Jonas Brothers for bringing it to Mr. Colbert’s attention with their public support for the console.
Microsoft’s Project Natal has been getting some of the best mainstream coverage to come out of E3, thanks to “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” and, now, Stephen Colbert. He mocked the tech last night during his “Bears & Balls” schtick.
Perhaps Neil Peart feels handicapped by a drum set with only five pieces or perhaps Alex Lifeson simply demands strings on his guitars. It’s certainly not the smooth vocals stylings of Geddy Lee that cause prog rockers Rush to fail one third of the way through their own “Tom Sawyer” on Rock Band. Perhaps it’s the “Expert” difficulty? The performance, which really should have included Lee on vocals and bass, for ultimate accuracy, was taped prior to the band’s appearance on The Colbert Report for posterity (and future embarrassment).
The video is after the jump!
Funnyman, warrior-poet and host of The Colbert Report Stephen Colbert was this close to being immortalised in collectible trading card by artist Todd Lockwood. Unfortunately, it would appear that Colbert will have to settle for a television show and best-selling book, as the World of Warcraft card from Upper Deck featuring “Stefen Colbear” doesn’t look like it will see commercial release, in spite of its brilliance.
