Stephen Colbert Is Ushered Out Of Harvard Talk As Hundreds Of Student Protesters Scream And Pull Fire Alarm

Stephen Colbert and cellist Yo-Yo Ma had their Harvard University event abruptly canceled Thursday after a fire alarm was pulled about 40 minutes into the program. Outside, hundreds of graduate student union protesters were shouting and chanting, protesting the university’s labor practices and criticizing the two for crossing their picket line. The fire department and Harvard determined there was no reason for the alarm, and the union denied having anything to do with it. The protesters say they're fighting for better pay, safe working conditions and protections for roughly 4,000 graduate workers. Colbert and Ma have not publicly commented.

Episode 390: Mansfield, MA – 6/28/2008 (YouTube Version)

When you add up all of the venues that Pearl Jam has played on multiple occasions, the amphitheater known to many as Great Woods outside of Boston is near the top of the all-time list. The highlight of their eleven visits is unquestionably the three night stay in 2003 known to fans as “The Experiment” where the band played nearly every song in their catalog. 2008 was their first time returning to Mansfield since the historic run, and while they didn’t achieve nearly the same goal as they did five years prior, it was starting to mark an end of a chapter. This would be their final year touring for their self titled record, and they’d head back into the studio to work on Backspacer shortly after the completion of this tour.
