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. 

Give this amazing interview a watch now. Parts one and two.

UAE to Release Shez Cassim After 9 Months of Imprisonment Over an Internet Parody Video

After months of wholly undeserved jail time and a recent public outcry, Shez Cassim, the maker of an Internet parody video on youth culture in Dubai, will be released and come home to the U.S.

Good job, Internet.
