Looking forward to Stephen Colbert's contribution. We asked for money from his superpac last year, but didn't get anything but permission to name our robot after him. Hence, the Stephen Colbot was born!

I don't think I've ever seen him out of character, not even once.

Not really. They were a supporter when Championships were in Atlanta. I understand executives were in St. Louis at Championships, last year. I think they want us to come back to Atlanta again!
