TV: Recall that we reported here first — well, on the TV blog, then in Newsmakers — that “The Colbert Report” was taping a spot at Bikinis Bar & Grill on Interstate 35.
The “No Fact Zone” blog picked up the tip and interviewed manager Jason Landtroop afterwards:
“The shoot revolved around a gentleman named Brett. The theme of their part of the segment is ‘Guy’s Night Out.’ … The film crew followed Brett around all day in a ‘Day In The Life’ type theme, filming him both at home doing the dishes as well as at Bikinis… . At one point, Brett and his group of friends were watching Bikinis Bar & Grill’s two 50-inch plasma-screen televisions. And what were they watching? The Home Shopping Network.”
The segment is aimed for a late January airing.
