Title: The Bizarre Drama Between Rice and CBS Fade in: Int. CBS Studios - Day We open on the set of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Stephen is sitting at his desk, flipping through note cards and preparing for the show. Stephen: (to himself) This joke is good. No, wait, it's great. It's going to kill. Suddenly, the door bursts open and in walks a man wearing a rice hat and carrying a bag of rice. Stephen: (surprised) Uh, can I help you? Rice Man: (excitedly) Hi! I'm the Rice Man! I'm here to promote my new brand of rice! Stephen: (confused) I'm sorry, we didn't schedule any rice promotion today. Rice Man: (insistently) But I have to promote my rice! It's the best rice in the world! Stephen: (trying to be diplomatic) I'm sure it is, but we don't have time for this right now. Rice Man: (growing angry) You don't understand! I have to promote my rice! It's the only thing that matters! Stephen: (alarmed) Okay, okay, calm down. Let's take a break and talk about this. Stephen and Rice Man exit the studio and walk down the hallway to the executive offices. They are greeted by a group of CBS executives. Executive 1: (concerned) What's going on here? Stephen: (explaining) This man is the Rice Man. He's here to promote his rice, but we don't have time for that today. Executive 2: (curiously) What's so special about your rice? Rice Man: (defiantly) It's the best rice in the world! It's the only rice you should eat! Executive 3: (skeptically) I don't believe you. Rice Man: (furious) How dare you! I demand that you give me airtime to promote my rice! Executive 1: (decisively) That's not going to happen. Rice Man: (outraged) You'll regret this! I'll make sure everyone knows that CBS hates rice! The Rice Man storms out of the building, leaving the executives and Stephen standing in shock. Executive 2: (sarcastically) Well, that was bizarre. Stephen: (smiling wryly) You never know what's going to happen on live TV. Fade out.
