Regina Spektor Charms Colbert
By Maia Efrem June 8, 2012
Stephen Colbert was left blushing after a visit from Regina Spektor, the Russian-born beauty who was promoting her new album, “What We Saw From The Cheap Seats.” The two spoke about immigration, Soviet spies and Spektor’s upcoming visit to Russia for the first time in 23 years.
The singer even had some kind words to say about Colbert, in Russian.
Watch the interview and Spektor’s fantastic performance:
