Author Michael Wallis was on the Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” last week to plug his new book, “The Lincoln Highway.”
Here is the video clip of the interview:
Wallis also is well-known for the best-selling “Route 66: The Mother Road” and mentions ol’ 66 during the bantering.
UPDATE 8/23/07: YouTube removed the video because of its ongoing copyright lawsuit filed by Viacom, a parent company of Comedy Central.
You can watch the Wallis interview from Colbert’s site here. Warning: a high-speed connection is recommended, and the site still may jam up your browser. That’s the reason the clip was placed on YouTube; it’s far more user-friendly.
The irony is that Colbert and Comedy Central cohort Jon Stewart both are listed as defense witnesses in the upcoming trial. Both have greatly benefited from YouTube clips providing publicity for their shows.
Hi Ron,
I’m in sunny Vega when I got the chance to watch the interview.
I thought, it was pretty good. Mike held his own and then some.
I do hope, the interview will help sell a few copies of his book[s].
Real flat and open out this a-way. Windy, too.
