Daft Punk set to perform at VMAs, miss scheduled Colbert Report appearance
The hype for Daft Punk's appearance on The Colbert Report tonight was palpable. Colbchella '013, sponsored by Hyundai and all, featured the French robots as the top billing. With Saturday Night Live at the heart of their campaigns, somehow a triumphant comeback performance on Stephen Colbert's late night satire seemed plausible. Instead, the bigwigs stepped in to squash it. In a surprising twist, Colbert expressed comical defiance in the wake of Daft Punk missing their scheduled set on his show.
