Yup. Steven Colbert has commented that he is frustrated sometimes by wanting to sincerely engage a guest but can't because of the limitations of his character. So when he likes a guest, he lobs softball questions and lets them talk.

Is it actually still region blocked? Comedy Central online worked for me when I was in Indonesia, with lots of ads.
Yes, it's blocked in Canada.

I think this is the first video embed I've seen on Less Wrong. It just...doesn't feel right.
Well that went better than I expected.
