Watching the diatribe a second time, and including Colbert's remarks from last night (which I've seen apparently misinterpreted by one major media outlet), I'm swayed by the argument that the screwing by Viacom really did happen, and the video was in the works ahead of time (and repurposed). On

The short version: Daft Punk was known for their house and electronica music (I have a couple of their CD and they make regular appearances on my playlists). They wrote and recorded the score for the Tron remake in 2010. For Random Access Memory, they decided to make a shift and pull off a pretty

They've been around for ages, but for a number of years now, they've only appeared in costume with the helmets. And they've not done broadcast interviews. They've given written interviews - but that's all from what I can tell. Their new album is excellent though, and Get Lucky isn't even the best

Except. While I enjoy a Colbert evisceration as much as anyone, I began to have my doubts as the subsequent musical video montage unfolded, one which was clearly created with much planning over the past month or more. So ... they were planning that all along, and just changed the setup? On

The show started promoting Colbchella '013 on the air last week, so I think it reasonable that there's been some work on at least some part of last night's performance well in advance.  Heck, last year Colbert did Colbchella '012 from the Intrepid, which involved melding in-studio and onboard

I was wondering the same thing, but given the amount of setup required for that montage - past guests, visits to Charlie Rose/Fallon/AGT, the Rockettes in their rehearsal studio, Jon Stewart via Skype, HENRY KISSINGER! - I had assumed it was always the setup for Daft Punk's 'live' performance.

That was why I separated the two. I agree with the thinking the second segment was set up well in advance. Colbert tends to use very deliberate language (similar to Dave Berry using the phrase I am not making this up) when he's telling the truth. If you remember the Wheat Thins bit, when he read
