Furthermore why does a man of 76 years of age want to go to the hotel room and recline on the bed of a woman girl [even a woman of 24] who is young enough to be his grand-daughter?

Colbert also notes that he takes a mic off every night but does not recline on a bed to do so. However, on Monday Baron Cohen is appearing with Colbert and the scene is due to be shown in full.

So the "scandal" here seems to be "76-year old man is attracted to a hot 24-year old woman", which is really not much of a scandal.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Well he is shown lying prone on the bed. Stephen Colbert notes [after we have listened to Guiliani's explanation] "OK I would buy that but I've watched the footage. Why would you go into a bedroom at the suggestion of a young woman to have cocktails to take off a mic?

But at least Colbert does seem to confirm that it is common to have to tuck one's shirt back in after removing a lavalier microphone.Last edited by Mountain Man; 10-22-2020, 11:21 AM.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostStephen Colbert is obviously being misleading here. The stills I've seen show that Giuliani was sitting on the bed when the hot, flirtatious 24-year old removed his microphone, and then he simply laid back to tuck his shirt in. Now maybe the full clip will show something different, but that's what the still images appear to suggest.

Remember though, this is a "hidden camera gotcha" movie. This means you have to actually differentiate audience knowledge with the knowledge of the Mark. You may know that the "character" is 15 because it was established earlier in the movie. The Mark isn't in on the movie, they know what they know during the set-up.
