He explained his ideas clearly, he made important points, and Colbert didn't appear fluster him at all. Most people Colbert has on don't do nearly as well! Yes, we just watched it and Ian did great.

News-wise I've seen Wright on 60 Minutes, EA execs once or twice on Charlie Rose, Janet Murray on Lehrer News Hour, various people on NPR, Chris Crawford on Nightline, etc. Anyone know the history of videogame industry folk appearing on the big late night TV talk shows, like Leno, Letterman, Conan, Stewart, Colbert?
