The Colbert Report's Dem Three-Way: What You Didn't See

Last week was a huge week for The Colbert Report, culminating in Thursday night's unprecedented show featuring Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards. But if you weren't there, you missed a lot, as the Philly-area blog Scene and Heard tells us:

What didn't you see in terms of entertainment that I did?

Benjamin Franklin rocking out on his walking cane like a guitar.

Some excellent music between sets, Green Day, Rancid, REM, Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros.

Colbert feeding Ben Franklin Doritos. Franklin losing them in the air and having to dig through his coat to find them.

Colbert doing show-stopping handstands.

Colbert: "To give you an idea of how much hairspray is in my hair, I just held a handstand and my hair did not move."

Profuse apologies from anyone involved with the show for making us wait long, before dissing Penn State alumni.

Colbert
fielding questions from the crowd, out of character. One such question
was "what is your idea of a perfect date. His reply was goofy and
swarmy turning serious, "getting home in time to see my kids these days
is good enough for me."

Much more quality air time from all the
guests that was cut from the final half-hour product. Hillary's fixing
of the screen was much more involved, asking more questions of Jimmy,
before fixing it to ironically make way for Obama's video conference at
the end of the show.

The first third of the show, or so, also
had to be re-shot because the producers played the wrong footage of the
previous night's debate.

Scene and Heard promises more recap today. I'll be sure to link to it when it goes up.
