Not My Job: We Ask Stephen Colbert 3 Questions Meant For Lena Dunham
We planned to have Lena Dunham, creator and star of HBO's Girls, as our Not My Job guest this week, but a snowstorm kept her from joining us at the last minute, so we quickly had to find someone without Thursday evening plans.
Late Show host Stephen Colbert very graciously jumped in to play our game, but we didn't have time to write new questions for him, so we'll just ask him all the questions we planned to ask Dunham.
Not My Job: Rob Reiner gets quized on three people you DON'T want to stand by
Rob Reiner, accomplished writer, actor, and director, joined us in 2012. He has said the movie Stand By Me is his proudest work. We asked him three questions about people he definitely doesn't want to stand by.

In 1992, Mae Jemison became the first African-American woman to fly in space when she served as a science mission specialist. So when she joined us in 2013, we played a game called "Excuse me? When do we get to the Southwest terminal?" questions about a sometimes more unpredictable vehicle ... the airport shuttle.
