Colbert's Cover Blown

Next month, comedy sensation Stephen Colbert will be filming his show on the road, but he has not disclosed exactly where. However, Sarah Palin, via Twitter, accidentally blew his cover with the following post:

"Getting ready to tape shout-out for our awesome US troops serving overseas! Will be on ‘Colbert Report’ next month, broadcast from Iraq…"

Stephen Colbert has not yet commented on this.

NASA Loses It's Humorous Side

Although I'm not entirely sure that NASA ever had a sense of a humor, it just lost it.

If you're a fan of The Colbert Report, you'll know that Stephen has been encouraging his viewers to write in the name Colbert for the name of a new node that will be placed on the International Space Station.



The name won the competition, but NASA has disqualified the name, instead opting for Tranquility. They claimed the reason for this was that they don't name space station hardware after living people.

Instead, NASA has named their new training treadmill "COLBERT" (Combined Operational Load Bearing External Resistance Treadmill). NASA has invited the star to Florida for the launch of the node, as well as a chance to test out the treadmill named after him.
