Last week, Stephen Colbert sat at The Colbert Report desk one last time. While Stephen Colbert won’t be leaving TV any time soon (he’s going on to host The Late Show in the spring), he did leave a gift for his fans.
Before the set got dismantled, Google shot a 360 degree tour of The Colbert Report studio. You can walk to the desk he sat at every night, then go see where he interviewed politicians, celebrities, and authors. Take a look at the pop culture memorabilia he’s amassed over the years, like his framed picture of Hugh Laurie or the Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots. Turn around and see the view he had of the audience every night. While it might not be the same as enjoying the show from one of those seats in the studio, you can reminisce about the satirical political show any time you’d like, to your heart’s content, all without leaving your desk.
To get the feel of The Colbert Report, Google used Business View to make the tour. Business View uses Google’s Street View technology to lead users through various types of locations, from cafes to libraries, from concert venues to TV studios. The tour offers a taste of the ambience through an interactive experience.
From now on, any time you feel a moment of truthiness sneak up on you, remember that Stephen Colbert will always be waiting for you … well, at least The Colbert Report studio will be.
