Video: Seattle Mayor Ed Murray, Denver mayor arrested on ‘Colbert Report’

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray joined Denver Mayor Michael Hancock for an appearance on the ‘Colbert Report’ Thursday and they both issued their predictions for the game.

Hancock, of course, backed Denver, while Murray said it would be an “impossibility” Seattle would lose the big game.

The two offered up part of the wagers they made earlier in the week, beef from Colorado and salmon from Washington, just in time to be “busted” by Colbert and some police officers waiting in the wings.

“Gambling is illegal in New York state!” Colbert said as the two were dragged off stage. “Have fun saying hi to your doobie friends in jail.”

But that didn’t stop Murray from getting in one more Seahawks cheer as he was escorted from the stage.
