To my joyful delight Stephen Colbert is making his rounds onto several of America’s most trafficked media outlets, The Larry King Show and NPR’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross.
While his recent media blitz is designed to pump his new book, “I Am America (And So Can You!)“, it’s also been an enlightening trip into the mind of a man who (like his predecessor, Jon Stewart) has rekindled a generations interest in politics and world news. And while the show may technically be a news spoof on those of a more serious nature, watching Stewart and Colbert’s shows has been proven to significantly increase their audiences awareness of the world over other more traditional media outlets.
In last nights interview with CNN’s Larry King, Colbert quickly explained his duo personalities, or as King says, “The ‘play’ Stephen Colbert and the ‘real’ Stephen Colbert”. It’s interesting to catch him fading in and out of his very different “faces”.
Watch a clip of the “Colbert vs. King” interview here.
Also, on Oct. 9th, Colbert spoke with NPR’s Terry Gross. If you have the tenacity to listen to the 45+ minute interview, check it out here.
Assuming you’ve made it through the complete broadcast (and lucky for me, it’s exactly as long as my drive to work), you should now be privy to:
1. Behind the scenes commentary on his broken wrist.
2. Colbert’s (the real guy, mind you) reaction to taking Bill O’Reilly head on.
3. How exactly President Bush reacted to Colbert after his White House Correspondent’s speech.
4. The shattering childhood event that changed his life.
5. And his explanation of God, Heaven, and Hell.
Enough swooning on my end. Enjoy.
