  • His hair is magnificent.

  • in those Egyptian hieroglyphics is written, the second book of mormon....

  • I doubt these folks went all the way to the National Portrait Gallery and didn't even bother to look at the presidents. Even assuming Colbert was the main draw, isn't it good that the portrait is drawing people who might otherwise not come?

  • Wow . . . just, wow.

    Thank you so much this clip. :)

  • Is this intended as a disparaging statement? If you were watching closely the door behind the group of students led to another gallery to which Colbert's picture was hanging. If the curator was speaking of his picture than they would have been in that room. Also the other half of the crowd filmed was in the area further back that led to pictures other than that of Colbert's. Surmising a whole generation in one badly filmed video is rather harsh.

  • I was just there this weekend and it still looks pretty much the same now as it did when the video was filmed, main room almost empty, large crown around the Stephen Colbert portait.

  • There's another video up now that th Smithsonian shot with some of the people who have seen it talking about how much it means to them. Very funny. Do a search for Smithsonian and Colbert.

  • lol yea and the museum didnt even want it! lol i bet the guy's just like "dammit! why didnt i accept the portrait!" right now! lol

  • Our children, our future...

  • I bet the President's gallery has never gotten this much attention... :P
