HW's Will Koch to appear on "The Colbert Report"

[Shavethewhales]

hmmm, it was this wensday that Will Koch was appearing on the show right? Cause I didn't see him. Although I did miss on segment before the final

interview, but the final interviewee was a guy from Jeopordy, so was the part with Will in the bit before that?

[Jonathan]

Congratulations you've all just been PUNK'D by Paula Werne

[Three]

No, he did Formidable Opponent before the interview.

[TheGreatOne]

No Will tonight...perhaps Paula will let us know when it will air.

 

Perhaps they were just taping the segment today for a later airing?

[VegasCoaster]

So yeah, I just finished watching and apparently no Will. The guest was Ken Jennings they talked about the guy who wrote A Million Little Pieces and that was about it.

[DRWP2005]

Yea maybe the shows are taped one day in advance? who knows I guess we'll find out soon enough

[Raven Maven]

No...I'd triple checked with the producer before sending out the news release and it was definitely slated to air tonight. There was an interview with Sarah Vowell that tied in with Will's bit ... that was shot in-studio immediately after the satellite interview with Will; it didn't run either.

 

I hope to find out what's up in the morning and will post an update.

 

Wah!

 

Paula

[Three]

Well there's certainly some explanation. Keep us posted.

 

And to a poster up there, the shows are definitely taped the same day. I mean, it's a fake news show. They parody that day's news. And I don't think the writers are prophets. Sorry.

[Wes]

There's a possibility that the segment was going to be for a "Colbert Report Special Report" episode, which they do from time to time. These episodes usually focus on one topic, thus being current with the daily news doesn't need to happen. Theoretically, it could air any time.

 

Seeing as Sarah Vowell was supposed to be the in studio guest, and she wrote a book about the Lincoln Assassination, I'm thinking it's going to be a CRSR all about Lincoln. Hopefully they'll air it tomorrow night.

Up on Holiblog now. lol

 

The conversation with Will is priceless.

 

"And to think we never heard of the guy until last month."

[Primogen18]

Lets just hope we don't have to wait until Feb 12th or April 14th to see this episode lol (Lincoln's Bday and assassination day). But it might be on a special report show sometime.

[ParkTrips]

hahah they put Colbert on notice, I hope Stephen declares him "dead to me"

[bgwfreak]

It's been put on hold for several weeks.

I'm sure Paula will let us know when it's ready to go again.

[Gnome]

I was watching last nights re-run today and was dissappointed when the Jepordy guy showed up. I guess going onto the holiblog before hand would have kept me from being disappointed, but w/e. I'll wait for it to actually happen.

[Raven Maven]

The latest (as of a few hours ago) ... a Colbert staffer is coming to the park tomorrow with a video crew.

 

Between their time at the park, the town, plus over at Lincoln City, they should have enough for a miniseries!

 

I do have the impression they want this to air very quickly.

^ Wow, they actually sent a crew to the park?? That's great for you guys, they must have been impressed to go to that trouble, or just figured the friendly people of Santa Claus were just ripe for a parody.

This is from screamscape...

You were were watching the Colbert Report all week looking for a peek at Holiday World’s boss Will Koch, it never aired it seems. According to the HoliBlog there were some technical difficulties along with other show segements going long, so the Holiday World bit was to be bumped to a later episode. However it now seems that the Colbert Report isn’t going to be satisfied with a simple interview by satellite and instead now wants to come down to the park in person with their crew. I guess they needed to come see Santa Claus for themselves over the weekend. More on this and when it will air as we find out.

I really can not wait for this episode...It is going to be one of his best segments...

[ParkTrips]

Tomorrow is the night.

^ Actually tomorow is the night.

 

Blog says thursday and today would be Wednesday.

[ParkTrips]

That shows you how lost in life I am...

[obeygiant]

Did someone say Lost?

Seriously, finally this episode is on...I thought it would be longer till it aired...

[imbordisux]

Saw it last night, and, as a coaster-enthusiast, it was pretty disappointing - not one word about (or shot of) the park.

 

The segment itself was definitely funny, but didn't include anything that would be of any interest to us.

[bgwfreak]

I really didn't find it all that funny.

 

And it's not because they didn't show the park. I've been there twice so it's not like I need to see the park.

 

I just really found it rather flat on the writing side of things. Colbert though has always been kind of hit-or-miss with me.

 

I tend to prefer the Daily show over Colbert. Which is probably why they won the Emmy.
