“In 2008 Stephen Colbert, the mock pundit for Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report, contacted the National Portrait Gallery hoping to donate his portrait from the show. The museum agreed to go along with the joke and temporarily installed the portrait. As with many other items that bore the Colbert stamp of approval, the museum experienced a ‘Colbert bump’ — crowds lined up to get their picture taken with Colbert’s portrait.
Now, in recognition of the end of his decade-long persona and Colbert’s move to CBS’s The Late Show in September 2015, the museum has borrowed the portrait created for the final season of The Colbert Report. The work is installed where the earlier iteration of his portrait appeared: between the bathrooms and above the water fountain.
This portrait will be here for a limited time, so refresh yourself at the drinking fountain while contemplating the satirically self-important talk show host the ‘Colbert Nation’ came to admire.”

I went to the rally in D.C. today, there was a gigantic crowd, had to be at least 200,000, they whole event was great and the message was one that we should all pay heed too. Jon Stewart for President 2012! They have clips of almost the whole rally on the comedy Central website now, check it out at... www.comedycentral.com/shows/rally_to_restore_sanity_and_o...
Stephen Colbert was in town for the Olympics, and I got to see a taping of The Colbert Report.
I totally lucked out: I arrived relatively late (some people had been there since 1 or 2 AM), and there was a lineup that snaked around by the entrance to Science World. By the time I was there, it had snaked back to near where it began. Then, all of a sudden, everyone just started running, and since I was near the start of the line I got a reasonably decent spot to stand -- and plus I got to sleep in a bit!
#transbearency bears on the loose defending open government, happy hours, and awesomeness at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.

So, I went to the Los Angeles version of Jon Stewart's "Rally to Restore Sanity." I was standing and watching the jumbotron when I felt a tap on my shin. I turned around and a guy sitting in a beach chair gave me an annoyed look and a "hey, move out of the way" wave. I said "Don't you think it's kind of funny that we're at a Rally to Restore Sanity and you expect people to move when you're sitting in the middle of a standing crowd?" He said "No, I got here at 9 am so I'd have a good seat and I expect people to let me see."
So I stood in front of him about five times longer than I originally planned.
As I left, he pointed his camera at me and took a picture, as if that would somehow annoy me. Instead, I took it as an invitation to take pictures of him. He seemed really happy about it.

The DVR was paused and I hit the skip forward button; the frozen frame advanced a click or two. A promo is ending and the Report is resuming, and in the flickering interim we get Bob Saget's head on Stephen Colbert's body.
