Colbert & Kielburger
Nov 19th
When we heard about this last week I wasn’t sure how well it would go over. Apparently my boss was contacted by some peeps over at the Colbert Report and asked to come on the show to talk about Child Labor. See, the thing about Stevie Colbert is that he lives in a giant pool of ridiculousness and sometimes not everyone understands that the entire show is basically an act.

Ah yes, my inevitable return to the dark side… Alright, so it’s not that bad – in fact it isn’t bad at all after the first day. After last night’s jitters I was almost certain I was going to make the biggest fool of myself out here. You’ve heard the story (I’m pretty sure someone like Ryan Reynolds has played this in a movie or something), small city kid moves across the country to the bigs only to realize he never should have left, only to then realize that he is becoming a man… blah blah blah.
