Seven Seconds With Stephen Colbert at the Peabody Awards
HuffPost TV: Have you named him? I know this is your second [Peabody Award].
Stephen Colbert: Ah, I think I’m going to call him deuce. It’s my second. This is deucey.
“The Colbert Report” won for its Super PAC segments, and Stephen Colbert thanked Comedy Central “for all the freedom they gave us to do this thing that was possibly illegal, and especially Viacom for strongly resisting us doing this thing that was possibly illegal.” He went on to add, “This is our accidental Peabody… I was just trying to mock a Tim Pawlenty ad and we didn’t know how to finish our ad and I said, ” ‘Well, what’s at the end of his ad?’ and they said, ‘Libertypac.com’ and I said, ‘So just put Colbert PAC on the end of our ad.’ “
