In case you missed it, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert got into a discussion regarding the uses of Corbomite in front of a live audience on Saturday, October 30, 2010. Folks like myself know that Corbomite was a bluff used by Captain Kirk in an early episode of Star Trek.
Sure, the exchange was scripted, but I found it amusing that the writers believed that such a deep discussion of obscure trivia would work. Turns out, they were right.
