My colleague John Kao was on The Colbert Report last week to discuss his new book, Innovation Nation. So I had a vicarious peek into a television phenomenon. John describes it well:
I knew we were off and running when the exchange around assonance and alliteration – it was right out of improv acting – “take the offer without reservation and do something to it.” I remember paying close attention as we talked – so that I could imprint the memory on my mind. The six minutes went by like a flash and like an eternity.
