angryrobot,

Last Saturday night's show was indeed shot on video by a professional crew. I assume it will be available on DVD at some point, but I honestly don't know for sure.

It was really amazing to see that Colbert/Carell scene, "Maya", again with the original cast. Believe it or not, that final scripted scene was improvised almost word-for-word the first night they did it back in the early 90's. Unbelievable.

Another big highlight that evening for me was seeing Paul Sand doing his classic 1961 Second City scene, "Phono Pal", with Colbert providing the voice of the guy on the phonograph record that Eugene Troobnik originally provided. That scene holds up beautifully after 48 years, and it was really inspiring to watch.
