Google Wants Colbert, Stewart to Testify
According to court documents, both Jon Stewart of The Daily Show and Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report have been asked to testify.
The request stems from Google's attempts to fight the $1 billion USD lawsuit Viacom filed against it in March of this year. The Mountain View, Calif. search giant's move may seem peculiar, but both Colbert and Stewart played a role in the tussle between the two companies.
Before Viacom and YouTube had official relations, Stewart and Colbert's shows were some of the most popular videos on the site. Both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report were some of the programming that was included when the two sides initially struck an agreement to syndicate content in October 2006.
