Carlbert Report

By Ashley Carter

Globe and Mail music critic turned 33⅓ media darling Carl Wilson has posted a full roundup of his experience as a guest on The Colbert Report. Hard-hitting highlights include: A fruit plate in the green room! Colbert’s voice = a half-octave deeper than his television affectation! But really, a pretty interesting read if you’ve ever wondered how the show works or what the reach of the post-airdate “Colbert Bump” really is. Kudos to Wilson for holding his own during the interview despite appearing suitably nervous and seemingly falling for Colbert’s made-up hipster pop band Ogre Milk. And handclaps to whoever whipped up the Ogre Milk MySpace moments after the show aired, giving Wilson tons of early adopter cred.
