The Colbert Report

Gary Rosen (4x2)

Air date: Jan 08, 2008

Stephen begins by discussing GM's self-driving car. He then gets dismayed over the writers strike, takes his glasses off and starts sobbing. While reaching for a box of tissues under his desk, he finds his house keys, a lost Mozart sonata, Amelia Earhart's skull, and a previously written script of the show from October 29, 2007. He then reads from the script, which deals with the economy and meteorites. Next, Stephen interviews Chris Beam of Slate about the New Hampshire presidential primary. Finally, he interviews Gary Rosen of Commentary about his political views.
