Stephen is worried about Google buying up all kinds of robot companies, and buy that I mean companies that build robots, not companies that are run by robots. To protect all of us from that, he is planning on breeding Ewoks because they will be able to save us. He had a prototype Ewok and they are so cute. I feel safe knowing Ewoks will be helping protect us from robots.
Stephen introduced another wonderful idea of his, Total Analog Personal Encryption, which will allow you to disable the spying of you via your webcam when you don't even know someone is watching you. Stephen showed a product in a silver color, but I have also seen it in various other colors.
You will remember that Stephen is up for a Grammy. While discussing his competition and his acceptance speech, none other than Billy Crystal showed up on the show to, um, discuss family matters and relationships, as in who is the son of whom.
Jonah Peretti, Founder of BuzzFeed, was the guest on Monday night. (Yes, I'm slow getting posts up this week. I actually thought and planned that Stephen would have three weeks off, including this week. Silly me.)
Musical Christmas guests were Gregg Allman and The National. You can watch performances over at Colbert Nation if you missed seeing it on the TV machine.

The National
Here's a quick and short summary of last night's show.
* MC Tangerine Dream wants someone to go to jail over the IRS hullabaloo. (I'm assuming he doesn't care who it is, just pick someone and haul them away.)
* Lois Lerner took the Fifth. I thought there were only three bases that a player could take, and then of course Home Plate. Oh, the Fifth Amendment. That's different. Never mind.
* The boys from Kentucky, Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, want industrial hemp legalized. Here's a quote from Rand Paul: "I'm fascinated by the paper thing ... one acre of hemp is equal to two acres of trees. Trees take 15 years and hemp one season. Somebody said the Declaration of Independence is on hemp paper. I don't know if that's true or not. I've heard it though."

* The "Rich" are hiring disabled people for the going price of $130 per hour or $1000 per day at Walt Disney World. To pretend to be one of their family members. In order to go the the front of the line! So they can cheat everyone else who dutifully waits their turn in line. Stephen called them the Resourceful Rich Set.
* Stephen briefly interviewed Matt Berninger from The National and then we got to hear music. Lucky you. If you did not watch them on The Colbert Report, you can go over to Colbert Nation, and in addition to catching last night's show online, you can hear a bonus song.
