"Cleaning out the TiVo" on Colbert Report

Quicktime_playerscreensnapz001_1

Monday night's Colbert Report featured a TiVo in a gag that The Daily Show does often, where they take a recent quote from a politician and juxtapose it against earlier statements that contradict themselves. Colbert says it's time to "clean out the TiVo" and starts randomly playing clips to make the point. It's a fairly close approximation of TiVo, though the menu fonts are wrong on the program listings. Here's the ~2 minute segment:

Note that the TiVo Central menu is off one of the DVD TiVo units - Humax I think.

It looks like they lifted the menus off a real TiVo, then Photoshopped them as needed.

Besides the fonts, I also noticed that the menu items were out of order. It looks like it's mostly sorted by date, but some other dates are thrown in randomly.
