Kamen was very smooth. He handled those comedic questions very well. Very entertaining and informative little interview. Thanks.

Kamen had some very apt responses to Colbert's wit.

Thumbs up

Thanks for posting!

Dean did a great job responding to Colbert while leading the jokes back to his message. I really enjoyed watching the video!

Default Colbert's other exploits

I think all of you have seen this:

Almost as scathing as Imus' roast of Clinton when he was in office, but fun nonetheless:

Part 1

Part 2

Super jumper? 4-5 stories up a building in 1.5 seconds? Is there any more info on this device?

Dean Kamen and his team seems to never stop amazing...

That was absolutely hilarious! I'm glad that Kamen didn't get all flustered with Colbert.

For everyone else, here is a direct link to the video:

AFAIK the thing has been tested with dummies, but not real people.

Very cool. Dean was very focused, but rolled enough with the comments when he needed.

Love the iBot... Colbert seemed too, as well.

I think Colbert was pretty easy on Dean. I bet behind the scene he really apreciates the stuff that DEKA is working on- especially if he has anyone in his family that cant get around too well-

Lucky for Dean he doesent publicly express his political perspective
