An intern's day on The Colbert Report

Sean Bartlett wrote an interesting piece for The Boston Phoenix about his experience working as an unpaid intern on The Colbert Report. Apparently Stephen is a pretty decent guy to work for, which is nice to hear. I mean, it would have made the story more interesting if the real Stephen (not the character he plays on TV) was the kind of boss who threw a keyboard at your head or kicked a chair out from under you whenever he got upset, but what can you do? As an intern, Bartlett got to shadow staff members, and even sit in on a writer's meeting and throw out ideas of his own. Oh yeah, and it was Sean who Stephen threatened to fire for putting whole milk in his coffee. You can watch that clip after the jump.
