The Colbert Report

We mentioned last week that Daft Punk were scheduled to appear on the Colbert Report last night, but apparently that dream was thwarted by the president of MTV, who had been holding a surprise Daft Punk appearance at the Video Music Awards in his pocket and cited some sort of Viacom exclusivity clause (the parent company of MTV and Comedy Central) to bump the French duo off Colbert.

Somewhat predictably, Colbert discussed the debacle on his show last night in a hilarious fashion.

  1. Colbert made it abundantly obvious that the Daft punks did not get lucky when they skipped his show for the VMA. Well done Steven, well done.

  2. Without Stephen Colbert, I never would have heard of Daft Punk. And now after listening to them, I’m feeling punk’d. Would Stephen come clean if MTV “suggested” that he pimp Daft Punk?
