Richard Branson And Stephen Colbert Go At It In Water Fight

Potential “The Colbert Report” spoiler.

Tuesday night, at a taping of “The Colbert Report”, Richard Branson was a guest. And apparently he does not know that if you mess with Stephen Colbert, he will retaliate.

Branson was on the show to promote Air Colbert as part of Virginâ€™s new American service. However, Colbert spent a good chunk of the interview trying to get Branson to sign a $1 million IOU. Branson tried to get out of it for a while, and then he got mad when time was up because he felt he did not get to promote what he was on the show to promote. So, Richard Branson threw his mug of water on Stephen Colbert.

Apparently Colbert was pretty pissed, and called someone from offstage to bring him a bottle of water, which he then proceeded to dump on Branson. The entire scene had to be unplanned because Colbert still had “Better Know a Protectorate” and an interview to tape. Some crew members came over with hair dryers and tried to get him ready for the next scenes while stood there thinking WTF.

I would have paid to see this.
