John Hudson Sep 22, 2010

Last night, Google CEO Eric Schmidt swung by the Colbert Report for a mirthful chat about privacy, China and how to delete your browser history after searching "tall women carrying heavy things."  For the most part, Schmidt was a pretty good sport.

Interestingly, Colbert questioned him about his now infamous suggestion that young adults erase their identity to hide their online indiscretions. "It was a joke," Schmidt said. "It just wasn't very good."
