An audio recording has surfaced of President Barack Obama and Stephen Colbert rehearsing “We’ll Meet Again” backstage at the Lisner Auditorium at George Washington University. According to ThatsAPhotoGuy, the YouTube user who posted the audio, “their mics were still live and transmitted the audio to the media room backstage … While there isn’t video from them actually singing (they were backstage away from the media room), I was able to record it.”
While the video doesn’t make clear why the President was cut from the star-studded sing-along, he can clearly be heard rehearsing the song with Stephen Colbert. President Obama was the featured guest on the December 8th, 2014 episode of ‘The Colbert Report’ titled, “Stephen Colbert Presents: Mr. Colbert Goes to Washington D.C. Ya Later, Legislator: Partisan is Such Sweet Sorrow: A Colbert Victory Lap, ‘014.”

Welcome to Better Know a Guest, your weekly guide to the wonderful and diverse array of personalities appearing on ‘The Colbert Report’ and ‘The Daily Show’ each week.
Hello, Colbert News Hub! The news focus this week has been on the racial tensions in America and clashes between white police officers and black men. As much as “Stephen” doesn’t see race, everybody else does. There are protests going on all around the country (and in New York City in particular), and I wouldn’t be surprised if they continue to be covered on the Report. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone ran a story about gang rape at the University of Virginia, which turned out not to be true, and Sony was hit with a major cyber attack that may or may not have been the work of North Korea. In lighter news, NASA ran a successful test run of its spacecraft Orion, which was a major step in developing manned missions to Mars, and Beyonce beat Dolly Parton to become the most Grammy-nominated woman ever.
Stephen’s guests this week are the President of the United States, a comedian, and a podcast host. Jon’s are two authors, two filmmakers, and a national security adviser. As usual, let us know what you’re looking forward to in the comments!

Bradley Cooper, Stephen Colbert Among Dinner Guests
Attending Tuesday’s State Dinner along with lawmakers and cabinet members, are a list of celebrities, sports stars and civil rights activists.
Headlining the dinner is musician Mary J. Blige, who will perform for the guests. While she told reporters that her last name is French, Blige didn’t disclose what songs she will sing.
Hollywood has a strong showing for the dinner, which will honor French President Francois Hollande. […] Comedy Central show host Stephen Colbert — who will be seated at the head table with the Obamas and Hollande — and actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who portrays fictional vice president on HBO’s “Veep,” are in attendance.

Hello, Hubsters!
I hope everyone has purchased America Again by now. If not . . . why not?
Election season seems to bring out the best in Stephen and Jon—if not everyone else—and their shows have been blazing in the past few weeks. Kudos to Jon for some of the sharpest work he’s done in a long time. And thank you, Stephen, for everything (but especially the searing humor of “Four more wars! Four more wars!).
This week looks pretty amazing, with both the Report and TDS having a host of fabulous guests. Got to hand it to Jon this week, though. Wow. His booker SHOULD get an Emmy®.
Tuesday’s debate will likely provide more fodder for everyone—and I’m hoping that this time Mitt is the butt of the jokes. I’m betting that if Obama does as badly as he did last debate, he’s going to get an earful from Jon on Thursday.
I would just like to take a moment to offer my best wishes for a full recovery to the brave Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban, Malala Yousafzai. The 14-year-old is an inspiration and, in my opinion, should received the Nobel Peace Prize–not the European Union. Malala is currently on her way to the UK, where she will receive physical and psychological care.
Now, let’s take a look at this week’s guests! Continue reading
