Stephen Colbert, “Meet The Press” online interview, sounding strangely familiar

You think “Meet The Press” and you think stalwart Inside the Beltway folks. Broder. Novak. Dowd. The usual suspects.
You don’t think Bill Cosby. (For the 3,000 broadcast, by the way. Thanks, FishbowlDC) And you really don’t think Stephen Colbert.
And yet, there was Bill Cosby this past Sunday – along with Harvard Medical School Professor Alvin Poussaint, M.D. – discussing his new book and America’s ongoing discussion of race for the entire hour.
Then it was reported that Stephen Colbert will be appearing this week to discuss, this writer presumes, his new book as well as his decision to enter the South Carolina presidential primaries – in both parties.
What gives?
If It's Sunday, It's .... Who?

It's Just A Restless Feeling By My Side
On Sunday mornings around 10:30, political junkies (read: nerds) like myself can face a conundrum: Tune into CBS for "Face The Nation," NBC for "Meet The Press," or ABC for "This Week?" Depending on where you live, you might not have the same timeslot conflicts, but if you're in the same boat as I am, there's now at least something of a solution. From an NBC press release:
I don't, to be honest. But it's going to be great to be able to catch "Meet The Press" online. Now instead of having to choose between three shows I want to watch I can get "Meet The Press" anytime, provided I'm willing to wait a couple hours.
"Meet the Press," now in its 59th year, will be the first Sunday morning public affairs program to be available in its entirety, free of charge, on-demand and online beginning at 1:00 pm, ET on Sunday afternoons.As Lost Remote notes, "NBC says its Meet the Press podcasts are doing well, with 90,000 downloads in November and 25,000 already in the first week of December." TV Newser, meanwhile, has a question in light of all this web hosted programming: "NBC started netcasting the Nightly News several weeks ago. It may offer Today on MSNBC.com too, but do online viewers want to watch three hours of Katie, Matt, Al, and Ann?"
I don't, to be honest. But it's going to be great to be able to catch "Meet The Press" online. Now instead of having to choose between three shows I want to watch I can get "Meet The Press" anytime, provided I'm willing to wait a couple hours.
