Howard Stern has branched out into TV and is now a judge on the TV show America’s Got Talent. If you don’t listen to his radio show, then you probably don’t know that he has the tendency to complain about anything and everything. Last week on Howard’s Sirius radio show, a caller asked about the “America’s Got Talent” taping with Stephen. In typical Howard fashion, he lamented having to be involved with something outside of the regular AGT show taping, however, he did say some nice things, I assure you.
His beef wasn’t as much with our hero, as it was with the AGT schedule itself and all the extra things that it involves like bits and interviews that aren’t for the actual show, and that they spring on him at the last minute.
As a former avid Howard listener, I can attest to this fact: Stephen got off light. It could’ve been way worse.

Stephen Colbert and his viewers learned the hard way on Tuesday night that MTV’s Video Music Awards are still a force in television and the music industry that is not to be trifled with.
“The Colbert Report” had advertised with fanfare that Daft Punk, the elusive French D.J. duo, would appear on its annual music show. The booking was a coup, since Daft Punk’s media appearances are very rare, and also demonstrated the cachet that Mr. Colbert and his show have acquired. Even the night before, it seemed, everything appeared to be on track. “Stephest Colbchella ’013 starts tomorrow 8/6 with Daft Punk!” Mr. Colbert tweeted late Monday.
But as revealed on the show, the band cancelled because of its obligations to MTV’s awards, where, Mr. Colbert seemed happy to note, Daft Punk was set to make a “surprise” appearance on Aug. 25.

It’s time to get excited, Daft Punk fans!! As we here at the Hub had reported earlier this week, it’s now official:
This Tuesday 8/6, don’t miss Stephest Colbchella ‘013: The Song of the Summer Of the Century with special guest Daft Punk. Details to come.
— Stephen Colbert (@StephenAtHome) August 2, 2013
Not a lot of notice for this special episode, but we’re glad to see a wonderful “Colbchella” taking place after all, especially with the marvelous, helmeted duo. What songs are you hoping to hear on the special? Let us know your thoughts. Special thanks to Daft Punk-ers for almost crashing our site with their interest in this upcoming event.
2012 was definitely a year to remember for all of us in Colbert Nation. It seems as though the show started to steer its own course this year. The tosses have ended and the show seems to be breaking away from its’ connection to Jon and The Daily Show. This year’s election show, much like in 2010, was not a joint venture between The Daily Show and TCR. In addition, there were many more “out of character” moments where it just felt as if Stephen couldn’t help but bust out of his persona and be himself. Moments like Hobbit week and dozens of musical acts and performances. As we look back to 2012, what do you all think of the direction the show took this year and where it may head next year?
Even though the show did appear to be cutting the ties to the Daily Show, we had some great moments between Stephen and Jon. It was almost just enough to satisfy those of us who still love to see these two great men working together.
Here is a recap of the best and most memorable moments in 2012.

WARNING-This account is loooong, but it was about 6 hours long, well 9 hours including waiting. I like to include as much as I can remember. It may be choppy as I am writing stuff down as I remember it. I’ll try to give as much context as possible. I tried to film as much as I could of the backstage stuff that Stephen did, or anything interesting that won’t air. Photos are here and videos are here.
Here’s one pic that I took with my phone, the stage before the sun went completely down:

All that stood between Stephen Colbert and his fans Friday night was a few millimeters of plastic as he rolled across the audience inside a giant plastic space bubble, trusting his diehard fans to keep him from cascading off the USS Intrepid into New York’s Hudson river.
It was The Colbert Report host’s final performance at Pepsi Presents StePhest Colbchella ’012: Rocktaugustfest, a musical festival Colbert presented as a fight against the “half-naked patchouli-soaked white-guy-dreadlock festivals” like Coachella and Bonnaroo that occur each summer.
On board the retired aircraft carrier on a stage lit by bright bulbs spelling “COLBERT,” the comedian managed to cajole more feelings of hippie-love and camaraderie than his conservative television alter-ego would normally hope for – except that these feelings were directed entirely at the empire that is Stephen Colbert.
