Episode 18: The Colbert Rapport

Episode 18

31st March 2011

When is it appropriate to request a photo with a celebrity seen in the wild? Andrew and Britt bring this case of a Hollywood party, Stephen Colbert, and potential Facebook popularity before the judge.

Episode notes

Andrew and his girlfriend Britt attended a Hollywood party, at which they spotted television’s Stephen Colbert. Britt requested assistance in taking a photo with Colbert, but Andrew refused to comply. He argues that when it comes to photographs with celebrities, discretion is key; Britt claims that accepting adoration by fans is part of a celebrity’s job.
