Congratulations Mary Elizabeth, that has got to be one of the best interviews ever, certainly in the entertainment arena. Wish it would have gone on for an hour.

[@Challam3ow]

…. Smigel??? Highly unlikely. Where did you hear such silliness?

[@DonoVideoProductions]

​​@@gregmize01I think the OP is talking about a shoot they did for Colbert's show. They were detained in the Longmont building, when they stayed after doing their scheduled interviews. They didn't break in anywhere.

[@DonoVideoProductions]

C'mon, he didn't break in. They had permission to be there. It was all a misunderstanding.
