  • Stephen Colbert Intervews Eminem For Michigan Local Access Television

    Eminem is going from serious to comedic in a second. After airing his interview with Zane Lowe as part of Apple Music's Beats 1 Radio's big launch, Eminem also sat down with Stephen Colbert on local access network in Michigan for a hilarious interview. Colbert apparently got bored of not hosting a show, so he took over Only In Monroe, a program on local TV in Monroe, Michigan and hung out with the original guests and then on of the greatest rappers the state has ever produced, Eminem.

Many suggested that the weather event was more than coincidental, and that perhaps the high price of tickets to the show was used to create a miraculous special effect. Music Times reported on the event this week and suggested that perhaps the band would play alongside a hologram of deceased founding guitarist Jerry Garcia when the concert series moves to Chicago this weekend.
