Stephen Colbert’s Reluctant @midnight Appearance

You can’t call it a run-in because he didn’t move. You can’t really call it a cameo because he never left his own set. But Stephen Colbert did visit @midnight on Comedy Central. The late night internet driven game show was taping in NYC as part of the New York Comedy Festival and while host Chris Hardwick was in town, he wanted Stephen Colbert as a special guest to introduce @midnight’s #Hashtag Wars segment.

However Colbert is the type of person who is extremely busy even when he isn’t. It took some traveling between studios and $60 in cash, but Hardwick finally got Colbert on the show. The #Hashtag Wars topic was #NYCin3Words.  Guests comedians Jim Norton, Kurt Metzger and Jesse Joyce were set to play when Stephen Colbert threw out the first answer, “Colbert’s Town Bitch”!
