Having attended a TDS taping a couple of years back, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see that the warm-up comedian doesn't really do a ton to hype the audience. The taping is almost always proceeded by Jon's Q&A with the audience, and aside from pumping a little Springsteen into the studio before the VTR rolls, there's little else. (There's no "HERE COME CRAIG!" for example.) I don't know about Colbert's studio audience, but I would expect that they're encouraged to be rowdy to feed Colbert's character. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
