Description

Interview desk from three seasons of The Colbert Report

Screen-used circular interview table from Comedy Central’s late-night talk show and satirical news series The Colbert Report, used by host Stephen Colbert to interview hundreds of guests between January 2010 and December 2012 (seasons 6-8). The dark brown extendable Crate & Barrel table with curved pedestal base stands approximately 30″ tall and 48″ in diameter, with the tabletop bearing numerous marks and scratches made by Colbert himself. Included with the table is a four-page list of the over 400 guests that sat opposite Colbert during the show, which is signed on the final page in blue ink, “It’s all true! Stephen Colbert.” Also included is a notarized letter for the aforementioned guest list, as well as a color glossy 10 x 8 photo of Colbert, signed in silver ink, “Stay strong! Stephen Colbert.” In fine condition, with expected wear from use.

The Colbert Report premiered on Comedy Central on October 17, 2005, and enjoyed a 10-season run that included numerous awards and a broad and diverse array of celebrity guests. During the three seasons this table was used, notable interviewees included: Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, Al Gore, Bernie Sanders, Charlie Rose, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Elon Musk, James Cameron, Itzhak Perlman, Joan Rivers, Ken Burns, Bill Bryson, Caroline Kennedy, Laird Hamilton, Charlize Theron, Daniel Craig, Dolly Parton, Mark Cuban, Nancy Pelosi, Rachel Maddow, Richard Branson, Samuel L. Jackson, Steve Carell, Steve Martin, Tom Hanks, Werner Herzog, William Shatner, Claire Danes, David Copperfield, Dean Kamen, Diane Keaton, Geoffrey Rush, Henry Kissinger, Jon Krakauer, Kevin Spacey, Martin Sheen, Morgan Freeman, Newt Gingrich, Patti Smith, Quincy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, Vince Gilligan, and many more. On September 8, 2015, roughly nine months after taping his final episode, Colbert made his highly anticipated CBS premiere as David Letterman's Late Show successor. Backed by provenance from its hilarious longtime host, this interview table palpably represents the show’s influential union of comedy and politics—a phenomenal piece of television history.
