Sharon over at Birdchick.com has been kind enough to share exclusively with the site her high-res pictures of Paul filming a Tad segment for The Colbert Report at the Eagle Festival in Essex, Connecticut. Let's all give her a round of applause for her generosity! I added her descriptions to some of the photos to explain what is happening. Click each photo for a pop up of the large, high-res image.
WARNING: Some people might consider these pictures spoilers since they reveal some of what happens in the segment, so be aware of that before you proceed.
Please be respectful and don't redistribute these photographs. Thank you!
