I think it was good. It seemed to me that Colbert was laughing at the guest because the guest was trying to downplay Bitcoin. Strangely, he did not feature someone who supports Bitcoin. Colbert position is very interesting regarding this. He was being very careful about what he said. Neither, did I hear any criticism from his side regarding the currency itself. His "closer" seemed to me as though he wanted to show that the guest's opinion was really of target and he actually accomplished that at least for me. Good news, Colbert is for it!

I laughed a bit, but agree no need to mention drugs & porn... do we mention those for Euros and other currencies when discussed?
Has it ever been possible to order drugs from your own home without getting caught before by sending pseudo-anonymous internet fun bucks? It's a relevant topic, especially for the Colbert crowd (mostly libertarian college students).

E-mail sent... telling him to mention bitcoinstore.com next time he's asked what to spend bitcoins on.

Have there been any statistics put together on industry dollars being spent? So that we can put a nice chart to show that legitimate businesses are taking over illegal industries yet?

This spot wasn't entirely bad. At least they pointed 'Bitcoin is money.'
Any speculative trader would have keyed in on the 260, 56, 100, 90 volatility, and if they are a risk taker, might come on board.
There is no such thing as bad publicity, and it's a comedy show after all.

Colbert has stated in the past, and I think he was being serious, that he was supportive of Ron Paul.
You be the judge. The whole video is worth watching but Ron Paul "endorsement" at about 1:05.
http://youtu.be/43hlXKg5FOo
Also, at the start of the above video he makes a joke about Ron Paul and gold and in last night's video he alluded to gold and intrinsic value. I suspect that Colbert probably understands a bit about sound money and may himself have libertarian leanings.

Always great to see Bitcoin in mainstream media.

I enjoyed it. They could have had a more knowledgable person interviewed, but this is still good news. Reaches an average audience of 1.9 million, with the majority being adults 18-49.

Video is linked now in OP. Enjoy.
I'll approve of the awesome Mithril for Nerds but sadly, the intro is about the coolest part... that's not saying much.

i have not seen this yet, but NPR planet money did bring two very fair pieces on Bitcoin in their audio podcast. And they are also sponsored by banks.

Once again, comedy is wasted on bitcoiners. I loved it.
