It's not every day someone who lives in Northeast Tacoma is on the "Colbert Report."
So how do you think that went? How did we come off?
I learned that we're the nation's No. 1 producer of rhubarb ("Which is like being the nation's No. 2 producer of rhubarb," Colbert says, "in that no one cares either way.")
Although now it makes a lot more sense why the Tacoma Rainiers' mascot is named Rhubarb.
And it was fun to hear an endorsement for Pick-Quick on national television. Now that he mentions it, I think I'll go to lunch there today.
But where did he get that Dick's Drive In comparison? Probably from the Wikipedia entry on Fife, which claims that "Pick-Quick's area rival is Dicks Drive In."
Bah. Like Seattle's tiny Dick's could measure up our Pierce County giants: Frisko Freeze, Little Holland, 12th Street Diner and Pick-Quick.
But Colbert did seem to be enjoying his hamburgers during his intro:
Wow. Wow. That is good. This is so frustrating. I can't decide whether the burgers are better from Dick's Drive In or the Pick- Quick. And I'm already past deadline on my new book coming out this fall, "The Colbert Guide To The Top Restaurants in Fife, Washington." I really should have picked a town with more than 5,000 people before I promised my publisher 300 pages.
If you missed it, look for the replays today at 10:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Comedy Central.
Update: Watch the interview here.
