THE COLBERT REPORT
Comedy Central, 11:31 p.m. ET
Tonight on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert plays host to Joss Whedon, whose new film, after The Avengers, is a modern-dress, black-and-white Shakespearean adaptation filmed in his own house. The film is Much Ado about Nothing, and the stars include lots of veterans from previous Whedon works: Amy Acker (seen here with Whedon) from Angel and Dollhouse, Nathan Fillion from Firefly, Alexis Denisof from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, Fran Kranz and Reed Diamond from Dollhouse, and Clark Gregg from The Avengers. Given the source material, the title, the cast, its lack of color, its modern setting, and its creative proximity to The Avengers, Colbert ought to have a lot of fun with this interview. And Whedon is smart enough to keep up, and return volleys. Ought to be a keeper. Yea, verily.
