OT: Colbert takes over "Only in Monroe" Public Access show

Submitted by iawolve on

This made absolutely no sense. He did the entire show which included an interview with Eminem. It was bizarre from start to finish, I would love to know how this was actually arranged.

Scroll down for the "Only in Monroe" show for July.

If he was in on it, his acting skills have improved considerably since 8 Mile.

He looked like he was about to hit Colbert when he asked what he had done in the past and when he was going to realize he wasn't going to make it and get a real job.

Eminem doesn't stumble into an interview in Monroe Michigan and get totally surprised by Colbert.  There is no way he signs on to do something like that without knowing exactly what he is getting into. Would he show up to do the interview if Colbert weren't there? 

"Eminem, this is 'Only in Monroe' calling.  Would you come down to our station for an interview?"

"'Only in Monroe?' Wow!  I'll be right there!"

"Stephen Colbert is our guest host."

"Never heard of him, but I'm already in my car headed south. This is a great chance to plug my new movie!"

He knew.

I want to play poker with any/all that did not get that Eminem was in on it.

(For those that missed the numerous "tells" that Eminem and Colbert gave, simply go to the end and witness Eminem pageant waving with Colbert after the "oh, you were the guy with Elton John at the Grammy's!" chat.)

So Coach Harbaugh could've been interviewed by Stephen Colbert today instead of that fool?  He would've reached a wider and younger audience as well.  Plus, Colbert is on television - Cowturd is on the radio because no one wants to see his ugly mug.

I'm guessing this was a semi-viral campaign to drum up interest? Rather than a big episode that a lot of people will miss, put something out there that people will go check out on YouTube on their own time?

I seriously wish MM was in the dark about the whole thing...it had me cracking up.

Colbert (on driving down to Monroe): "...Plus with all the flooding...You hear the river's raised and has crusted?"

Eminem  "I...did not"

Colbert "The important thing is just don't drink any sewage, for the next 24 hours. Fight it"

...

Colbert (on Eminem preparing for retirement and pursuing music): "at some point you have to be humble and say 'maybe it doesn't happen for me'...maybe it doesn't happen for you, Marshall"

Em  "...you really don't know?.... I mean I put out quite a few albums"

Colbert "I'm sure that feels good"

Em "It does"

Colbert "Well good. Doesn't pay the rent"

Man, Colbert is a funny man. I loved all 40 minutes of this awkward yet comical genius of a way to get people talking about hosting Late Night. Eminem plays his part well and that is the best part, but the Yelp review from 1990...it's perfectly done. If you ever accidentally watched a cable access show like this, when you can't find the remote and are too lazy to get up and change the station, you understand how much he nailed the awkwardness and cheesy feel of it all. Great stuff.

the fake personality on his new show, or if he will be more real like the rest of the late-nite hosts. I thought that when he left his last show that he would be changing his act, but this seemed a lot like the old Stephen.

Colbert is an actor and writer and the self centered bufoon has been his stock in trade for over 20 years now. His Late Show promos thus far have all displayed the same sense of pomposity and surrealism that was present in the Report, only sans politics.
