The Colbert-Branson Interview Trainwreck

First, check out how Colbert hyped this interview last Thursday. (This embed will die eventually, here is a backup link.)

Without further ado, the much anticipated Richard Branson Interview.

Branson knows how to get publicity, throwing water on Colbert certainly worked. This story was all over the Internet over the past couple of weeks. Colbert seemed to play along accepting an airliner named after himself and be-friending a billionaire. Let's speculate, are Colbert and Branson still cool with each other? I just read this from the AP wire.

Virgin America's scheduled 10 a.m. flight lifted off about 10:50 a.m., said spokesman Gareth Edmonson-Jones. On-board were billionaire Richard Branson and chief executive Fred Reid, who was late arriving at the airport.

Comedian Stephen Colbert, scheduled to attend a ceremony at the airport, didn't make it.

"He was in a car for 4 1/2 hours and turned around in the end," Edmonson-Jones said.
