Cramer (the Diplomat?) on Colbert

March 6, 2009 6:22am by Barry Ritholtz

Yesterday morning, we posted the vicious — and amusing — Daily Show takedown of CNBC. It was a brutal, nasty but truthful piece, and I mused that “I would love to be a fly on the wall in whatever PR meeting takes place about this today…”

Well, someone over there is on the ball. In what can only be described as smart PR on the part of CNBC, they sent Jim Cramer into hostile territory to charm Stephan Colbert into submission.

And as much as people love to diss on Cramer the pundit, Cramer the diplomat was surprisingly charming.

Go figure.

Last night’s embed video clip isn’t available, but the full episode is up at Colbert Nation — go to 3:00 mark for the start of the Wall Street segment.

I will post the Cramer clip it as soon as they make it available. (Here is Cramer’s last Colbert appearance).
