Richard Garriott to guest on ‘Colbert Report’ tonight
Austin’s soon-to-be-spacefaring game developer Richard Garriott is scheduled to appear on “The Colbert Report” tonight.
The show airs at 10:30 p.m., right after “The Daily Show.”
Will Garriott talk about the history of “Ultima,” or maybe about the many cool things to be found in the House of Garriott?
More likely, he’ll be discussing Operation Immortality (sorry, still not sold on it), his quest to take the best and brightest Earth DNA into the heavens in case we should, you know, blow ourselves up or something. It was recently announced that Stephen Colbert’s DNA would be part of the “Immortality Drive” to go into space with Garriott in October.
He will also likely be promoting his latest game creation, “Tabula Rasa” and to totally not talk about recent layoffs and headquarter relocations of NC Soft.
We’ll let you know what goes down after it airs.
Edited to add: I’ve asked Garriott’s peeps to please confirm that he’ll be on tonight since the Colbert Nation Web site says tonight’s guest is Maria Bartiromo, and they assure me he’ll be on. So instead of the main guest, maybe he’s part of an extended comedic bit? Even better!

I'm sure your invite is on its way. Make sure you've got that DNA ready!

Um, if they are taking the best and brightest's DNA into space why haven't I been contacted? Are they behind schedule collecting samples?
