Breaking: Colbert Report Going to Persian Gulf
If you like The Colbert Report but always thought Stephen would be funnier if the craft services table had more authentic hummus, you're in luck! Stephen will soon be taping the show over there, so we don't have to tape it over here. From the Stripes Central military blog:
“I’m not supposed to tell anyone where I’m going, but just say it’s sandy and they’d like us to leave,” Colbert told Stars and Stripes on Tuesday.
The host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” said he was invited by Gen. David Petraeus, head of U.S. Central Command, to entertain U.S. troops downrange.
“I’m hoping they’re just going to blindfold me, fly the plane around in the air for 12 hours and drop me in New Mexico and tell me it’s the Persian Gulf, because I wouldn’t know the difference,” he said.
We will continue to update you with information as soon as it comes in. Check back often!
