I think they probably also made it bigger for cameras and however many are standing/sitting out of shot and distanced. I also think Stephen was fibbing just a bit. I'm skeptical that the little alcove featured in the short bumper promoting the next night's show is actually in his office.

Doesn't Stephen Wright have a joke about being in a place that's an exact duplicate of another place? It's eluding me.

David Bruggeman, in part, early this morning (8/11): Colbert is doing the show from the office building above the Ed, in what is supposedly a recreation of his actual offices. Various staffers are present, and Mrs. Colbert is off camera as usual (for how long is unclear). Jon Batiste and company are still remote. Stephen had a good interview with Dr. Jon LaPook focused on virus spread and vaccinations. (side note: while I should have deduced this earlier, Colbert was shooting from whatever home he has in South Carolina, and not from NJ) B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
