In the late night talk show showdown where talk shows are really booking something big in order to compete with Leno’s last week at The Tonight Show, perhaps what will be one of the most interesting and funniest interviews is Stephen Colbert interviewing members of the punk group Pussy Riot on The Colbert Report.
First off, there’s a translator adding a whole new element of comedic timing to the interview as well as the two members of Pussy Riot being pretty great in the interview. Also, Colbert clearly takes interest towards the end of Pussy Riot’s aims and invitation for Putin to put them back into jail over maintaining the Colbert character.
