Wax On Wax Off

Well, if you have been paying attention, you know that Stephen Colbert can be seen anytime in the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Washington D.C. And he is in good company. We know this because Stephen toured Madame Tussauds Wax Museum on his show Thursday night. His guide, Dan Rogoski, was extremely patient.  George Washington was there and what a coincidence that he is in the Washington D.C. location! Other presidents include Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Tiger Woods was there all over the place. Many Hollywood stars were there, e.g. George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, and Johnny Depp.

Stephen sat for measurements, patterns, and molds, in what was somewhat humiliating for him and humorous for the folks taking all the measurements. Then the work began to get a framework, paint eyeballs, sculpt those ears just so, and all the other details in order to get a facsimile of Stephen Colbert. It was well worth it as we got to see, "one, two, me," the unveiling of the best statue in the museum.

About the only problem I can see is that on their sitemap, they have Stephen listed under Hollywood Stars. Perhaps there's not a better category for him, although Cultural Figures (Madame Tussaud, Juliette Gordon Low, Buzz Aldrin, Harriet Tubman) or Music Stars, (Marvin Gaye, Duke Ellington, Taylor Swift) or Presidents (Thomas Jefferson, Richard Nixon and George W. Bush, ) since Stephen is presidential, might be better categories.

Now we can all see Stephen Colbert in wax any time that we want. The museum is open every day of the year. The only thing you need to worry about, and this might be a game changer, is that you are not allowed to lick the statues.
