was it on Colbert? Man my short term memory is....


what? Who are you and what are you doing in my room?




Oh hey did you see that thing about the Flying Wallendas?

I was shocked to find out the Flying Wallendas was still a brand. And what's the point of doing it at night?

So they will stretch a couple minute walk into an hour or two special that I can see the highlights of on Youtube the next day so I'll probably skip the show lol.

I really want him to fall. He can live, but I think having him fall would be so much more exciting.

to the other. So if he falls he falls into the river below and not the actual falls. I don't know if that would kill him. Good luck to him. What a crazy business that family is in. A tradgedy every generation.

They made him wear a harness. I guess he didn't want to but he did. It was pretty cool though.
