Mika B. pushed her book on Colbert. Joey backstage "for support."

[CTyankee]

Nice little Huff Post blurb and video of the interview she giggled her way through with Stephen Colbert.

I think it is interesting that Colbert pointed out that Joe was backstage and queried Mika on that. "He's here for support," she replied.

I've never been one for the rumor mill about the relationship between Joe and Mika but my radar picked up something that indicates a little bit more than just "support." Either she's totally incapable of being on her own in a very brief interview with Colbert or she and Joe have something more serious going on...

1. dead intern joe has a girl friend?

is`t mika the mouse married?

[MineralMan]

2. Since when did being married stop the boinking?

In any case, I don't want to think about Mika and Joe that way. In fact, I really don't want to think of either of them much.

[CTyankee]

4. They are both married to others.

As I said, I don't care for rumors but the fact that he was there backstage and she nervously laughed it off as "support" spoke volumes to me. Clearly, she didn't want it known that Joe was there. Maybe Colbert meant to "out" them...

3. If they find Mika dead in Joe's office, then we'll know. n/t

10. Ding! Ding!..

[DemoTex]

5. It's just coincidental that Joe brought a baseball bat and a set of brass knucks to the set.

Support .. yeah, right. Hey Colbert: CHECK SIX!

[Deep13]

6. Who are they and why should I care?

:shrug:

[CTyankee]

7. The co-hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe a political talk show on 6-9 am

M-F here on the East Coast.

She portrays herself a liberal and he is a conservative and they have politicians, journalists and others on talking about the current political issues...

[Deep13]

8. Ah, I have heard of them then.

thanks

[Orsino]

9. Struck me funny, too.

Also wondered why the fuck Colbert had her on, if not to try to expose her right-wing bias as the danger it is.

[JPZenger]

11. They are travelling together doing the show on the road

She helped him with his book tour, and he is returning the favor. Plus Joe probably is looking for some good stories about "behind the scenes" at Colbert. I'm glad they don't bicker and fight as much on the air as they used to.

[HipChick]

12. Strange..did he co-write or ghost-write the book?

[CTyankee]

14. Hmm, I wonder. I know he goes out on tour with her but this was him

escorting her to the studio but not appearing. As I said, my radar went into effect...something's there and if I were to guess, I'd say they are having an affair. His wife lives separately in D.C. while he is in NY. I wonder what her husband is thinking right about now...

[Marr]

13. He's also a vain, egomanical nit-wit. Could be that he just thought he might

have a chance to get his squinty little pig face on a highly rated show.
