Hard to imagine, but he holds his own with this nutjob!
Even manages to say some pretty useful stuff. This is a summary (amidst interruptions) of his book Surprised by Hope, where Wright critiques the common view of the afterlife.

unrefined theological musings, random personal reflections and occasional naughtiness…
nutjob? thats stephen colbert, a legend at the uncomfortable interview. he has had rick warren and all sorts on there, i am not entirely sure why the accept the invite to go on his show as i doubt they will increase their sales with his audience, but good on them for having a go at matching it with the comedy news men.
he’s a great interviewer….the interview with Warren is a beauty
Colbert is a liberal who gives his interpretation of Bill O’Reilly (a conservative host on Fox News). Like Roo said, the only reason people like Wright go on these shows is publicity to a mainstream audience. But I do laugh every time they try to steer the interview in a serious direction. It’s Comedy Central, not PBS (American equivalent of ABC)!
there is a delicious ben and jerry’s which has been named for the legendary colbert. mmm, icecream…
After watching this video this morning I went and bought ‘Surprised by hope’ from our local Christian bookstore. See, it did get him a sale 😉
