So did Stephen Colbert do an interview with Lou Dobbs tonight, then retape all of his questions in Spanish, and edit the two different interview segments together? That was so disorienting, they just needed a clock behind them that’d jump back and forth in time to complete the effect.
The last time I saw editing that weird was…well, the night before, when it seemed like a 30 minute interview on the Daily Show was clipped into a 5 minute montage of John Stewart absolutely killing the guest. (Actually, the guest was killing himself, but the host was more than willing to help.)
I guess no writers mean a lot more work for editors.
