Bring it on. Google has added the names of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert to the list of Viacom employees it wants to see on the stand.  How are they involved, you might ask?

Google attorneys could argue that the comedians and the producers of their shows have made public statements that are very relevant.

For example, a year ago Colbert urged fans to make him a viral-video star. The comedian stood before a green screen on his show and played with a light saber. He encouraged fans to fill in the background in their own videos and submit them to his show.

“This could go to determining non-infringing uses,” Litvack said. “If Viacom used the clips for marketing or promotional purposes Google could argue that Colbert needs to be deposed.”

If they do show up, I hope they televise it.
