At the Apple Store Soho last night, documentarian Ken Burns called the interface on his self-titled new free iPad app a “constellation” of historical events and themes, likening it to the “Planet Hillary” chart that accompanied The New York Times Magazine‘s January 26 cover story. A visibly drained Stephen Colbert — who’d just filmed two episodes of The Colbert Report — perked up when Burns made the reference.
“You mean Hillary S. Scrotum?” Colbert joked.
We’re guessing he meant to refer to the image of the former secretary of state as “Hillary R. Scrotum,” but again, he’d had a long day.
