It is an amazing array of folks, ideas and connections that TCR lifted up. Even the famous ones got into something different in a Colbert interview. My only quibble is whether the array really reached the level of public conversation. Exposure, yes. Intriguing or off-beat ideas/exchanges – yes. But the Colbert persona and need for laughs often limited how much conversation occurred. Certainly more than in other late-night settings. And your hope the CBS will provide the space to try things is well put. From the peanut gallery, JBS
