Stephen Colbert Gets Waxed!






Who's honoring Stephen Colbert now? Why, Madame Tussauds, of course.
Yes, finally, the waxy shrine that The Colbert Report's eponymous host's mind deserves is here, and the go-to celebrity immortalizers have offered up a sneak peek at Stephen's most notable asset.
Namely, that big ego head of his.

Madame Tussauds today gave fans a sneak peek of its soon-to-be revealed wax figure of the fake newsman's noggin, showing off the sculpted-clay mold ahead of the figure's full Friday unveiling.
Come the week's end, Stephen's complete wax likeness will be loosed upon the Colbert (and non-Colbert) nation, with the satirist himself on hand to show off his form, which will be outfitted in clothes donated from his own wardrobe, including suit, tie, shirt, cuff links, socks, shoes and lapel pin (clearly no detail is too small for the Colbert touch).
Ultimately, his doppelgänger will be seated behind a desk in a replica set of The Colbert Report. As if we needed more proof that Colbert was a national treasure.

MY KING!

So annoyed that even though I never used my tickets from a few months ago for his show I can't order new ones again til the spring.

Find a friend that wants to go and put the tickets under their name. My friend wanted to go to the Morrissey taping but she had already gotten tickets recently so she just asked me if I wanted to go and we did and it was AWESOME!

JEALOUS you got to the Moz taping. I think I'm just going to put my sister's name the next time I try since she's never been and we look a lot alike on our IDs.

If I may ask, how do Americans get the tickets for show taping? I plan to go next year and visiting Daily Show and Colbert Report are on my list.

They release tickets through their pages on the Comedy Central website but if you have twitter follow @DailyTix and they post when sets of tickets are released for various dates. Usually it's a lot easier if you don't know a specific date to wait the day of and they release a few then.

That makes sense. Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it!
