I'd totally leave Smash for him.

No, really.

Colbert Portrait in the Smithsonian

Quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Stephen Colbert was denied when he tried to run for president this year in South Carolina. Now the fake TV pundit is getting some love from the city of his birth.

His portrait was hung Wednesday at the Smithsonian Institution's National Portrait Gallery in Washington for a six-week showing in what the museum considers an "appropriate place" -- right between the bathrooms near the "America's Presidents" exhibit. Museum officials stress it's only temporary.


Smiley: grin

"It's kind of sad that this is the first time we've been here," Canales said Wednesday as a steady stream of young admirers took their pictures with Colbert's portrait.

"We might look at the rest of the museum, but we really came for Colbert," Bexley said. "I needed a new Facebook picture, so it might as well be with Stephen Colbert.


Guess that's one way to get people interested in the Smithsonian.

Yes, sans writers.

So less with the skits, more with guests, and "flashbacks" of earlier episodes.

The only people not interested in the Smithsonian, sadly, are the locals. Their collections are world-renowned, and you can't really quantify how amazing it is that they are completely free to the public. Before I moved, the Portrait Gallery was just about to open after a few years' renovation. I can't wait to go see the new digs.
