Colbert in Detroit? One Group's Campaign to Bring the Comedian to the City

Friday, September 21, 2012

Stephen Colbert as Stephen Colbert

Detroit has been the punch line to many of comedian Stephen Colbert’s jokes on his show The Colbert Report, but one local man is challenging the satirist to visit the city. Josh McManus started the Facebook group, Colbert Does Detroit (and so can you!) and it has gained a large following of metro-Detroiters. He spoke with WDET’s J. Carlisle Larsen about why he started the group.

J. Carlisle Larsen has reached out to both Comedy Central and Mr. Colbert's publicist and is awaiting a response.
