In the meantime, he's preparing in new and different ways and in so doing has revealed a good deal of what he's like behind the camera. Last month, viewers of a public access program in Monroe, Michigan got a surprise — live, at midnight. The next morning, Colbert met with Joel Lovell, who was writing a profile for the latest edition of GQ magazine . Joel is also an editor for This American Life and The Atavist.
