December 9, 2014

Lines for Monday’s taping of “The Colbert Report” featuring special guest President Barack Obama snaked down multiple city blocks, as students started lining up early in the morning to get good seats.
University Police Department officers patrolled Kogan Plaza, where students lined up to enter Lisner Auditorium for Monday’s taping.
U.S. Secret Service agents, including those from the K-9 unit, were on duty around Lisner Auditorium in preparation for Obama’s arrival.
Stephen Colbert discussed the midterm elections results, the latest employment report and the ongoing health care enrollment process with Obama. He also tried to determine which numbers were in the U.S. nuclear launch codes, but Obama wouldn’t say.
Obama is seen on a TV screen backstage.

Students packed Lisner Auditorium to watch Monday’s taping of “The Colbert Report.” Their tickets were assigned out via an online lottery.
