As you may already know, popular satirist Stephen Colbert has been in Iraq this past week shooting his show in front of a live audience of members of the United States military. Steve Manuel, a photojournalism professor at Penn State, has been taking pictures during the week, including the one to the right. How cool! The Penn Stater Magazine wrote an article about this earlier in the week.

We are pretty excited about this. Perhaps Penn State and the College of Communications will get the Colbert Bump (not that either of them need it)? You can check out some more of Manuel’s work on Comedy Central’s site or on CBS.
