Steven Colbert: smoke machines and cowardice
1August 25, 2004 by Colin
Steven Colbert, of the Daily Show, has a short interview in the September Esquire. Two excerpts:
ESQ: How do you make a candidate feel relaxed and trust you?
SC: I approach all interviews with fear. I’m frequently afraid that somebody is going to take a punch at me. It’s only cowardice that keeps me from laughing …
ESQ: How will your election coverage be superior to the networks’?
SC: One word: pyrotechnics . And lots of smoke machines. All of the correspondents are going to be flown in on harnesses in spider costumes, and our new motto is “We’ll catch you in our satirical web!”
The colbert report is great! I watch it all the time it is the only way i can know what’s going on in politics without getting bored to tears I just hope Stephan keeps doing it.
