Watch video of Ameena Matthews' superb interview on The Colbert Report from yesterday. The star of The Interrupters did a great job of keeping her cool amid Stephen Colbert's own interruptions, getting the CeaseFire message across and dropping brilliant quips such as "I wasn't lecturing them, I was having a conversation with them" and "I would like to say I am a paper-sack brown blood cell."
