Steven Colbert taped his shows this week from the middle east. Part of the gag was that he didn't know where exactly he was going. In the opening of the show, the military kidnapped him and smuggled him out of the country. In an attempt to figure out where he was at, he would ask questions that could help him narrow it down. One of the eliminated options is Margaritaville. The whole opener is pretty funny.

The Margaritaville mention is at 1:50.
At the end of the episode, Barack Obama makes a taped appearance ordering that Steven's head get shaved since he's in the military, which they do. Nice to see him making the trip to support the troops!
