Last night, TV On The Radio performed on The Colbert Report, but first band members Kyp Malone, Tunde Adebimpe and David Andrew Sitek were subjected to an interview with Stephen-the-character, whom the reserved band members didn't seem to quite know what to do with, in an adorable way. After the jump, Stephen asks the TVotR guys hardball questions about their last album "Return To Cookie Mountain" ("Why would you ever leave cookie mountain?"), informs them that they're about to lose their indie cred to the Colbert Bump, and suggests they hire Katy Perry to sing for them. (And then they perform "Dancing Chooose.")
The interview, in which Stephen strokes Kyps beard:
"Dancing Choose":
And in case you didn't catch Stephen's made-up examples of the band's influences, they were: "Relevant Elephant," "Rayon Mammoth," and "Bunker Sorbet." (Comedy-nerd musicians, take note.)
