This is somewhat off-topic (as if I actually have a topic to stay on) but Stephen Colbert is a hero of mine, and this article is really quite fascinating. I agree with Jon Stewart’s comment in the article, about Colbert interviewing subjects while in character:
“[The whole show] depends on Stephen’s ability to process information as this other person,” says Stewart. “I’ve seen talk-show hosts who can’t do that for real.… And then you watch Colbert and it’s like the first time you use broadband: ‘How the fuck did that happen?’ He’s rendering in real time. He’s basically doing his show in a second language.”
