Just yesterday while I was
lamenting that Bill Maher forgot to interview Stephen Colbert (seen here with his wife and daughter at last month's Emmys), he was speaking (with his wife!) at the New Yorker Festival in Manhattan. He's known for giving few interviews and even fewer out of character and probably none with his wife, who
puts up with it all, so this was a rare treat.
It appears it wasn't taped, but there are some great recaps.

The group-effort, let's-have-everybody-host format at last night's Emmys
isn't earning raves in the cold light of day, but the election can surely be counted as one of the stars, swiping at least as much stage time as some of
the winners despite
rumors of a ban. Behold as Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart turn an innocent snack into a juicy metaphor for the political landscape.
