So are you suggesting Colbert is involved in the kidnapping?

I'm sorry.

Emily.

Emily, I guess I don't find this story the least bit interesting, except how these late night comedy shows have strayed so far from the premise of late night comedy that they're not even trying.

Now it's just these stunts, these to stoke some kind of melodrama.

And I mean, I think it served him quite well because he got five million views of the interview on YouTube, which was his most watched interview in months.

I think it's sort of a hilarious pre-capitulation to something that really wasn't that big of a deal.

We work for corporations, too.

Right.

And you get legal advice and you get production advice.

And they could have gone around this quite easily.

Oh.

oh, okay, so either A, pre-tape an interview with Crockett, or B, put the whole thing on YouTube.

Like, they could have absolutely met their interests on a substantive level, i.e.

getting Tallarico out there, and then be like, okay, we don't really want to do Jasmine Crockett.

Do a pre-tape with her, and then put it on two minutes at the end.

And the other thing is, if they're attorneys, if they're listening, because attorneys, we know them, they're always risk adverse.

They are always going to say, oh, you guys, be careful.

I know, we all are.

But, like, I see this as just sort of clearly their jelly need about it.
