Talk about making lemonade of out sour lemons. The President and CEO of Buffalo Toronto Public Media has posted a joke video aimed at Stephen Colbert, asking the soon-to-be-former late night host to come and do his show at the WNED Studios.

"We're not the Ed Sullivan Theater," he agrees. "But we can make it work!"

In the lighthearted video, which contains a mini-tour of the facilities, we see glimpses of WBFO and the Bridge studios, as well as some of the sets used for local productions. And then there's Jerry, who has to be seen to be believed. 

And yes, he mentions the cuts in funding to PBS and NPR, noting they could really use the money and hoping Colbert's breaks for pledges would really help the station out. 

Over all, it's a pretty amusing few minutes and shows while the folks at Channel 17 may be serious about educational TV, they still have a sense of humour.
