'Colbert Report' Heads To Iraq

  • June 5, 2009
"The Colbert Report" will spend a week shooting shows in Iraq, June 8-11, in conjunction with the USO. Called "Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando," it will be taped at an undisclosed military base in Iraq. The audience will be comprised of U.S. troops. Segments show Colbert putting together care packages for the troops. Guests during the week will include Iraq's deputy prime minister Barham Salih and General Ray Odiemo, commander of the Multi National Force-Iraq. Burger King was signed as a sponsor for the week; all proceeds from sales of 'Colbert' on iTunes go to the USO.
