"Only in Monroe" is a show about Monroe, Michigan, and not since the days of the guys from "Wayne's World" sitting on the couch in their mom's basement has a show of its kind gotten this kind of attention.

July 1, "The Late Show" host Stephen Colbert guest hosted the episode.

Not only did Colbert host the show, but he also entertained a pretty popular Michigander, Eminem.

Eminem sat down to talk about not being from the suburban Monroe area -- as most of us know, he's from much meaner streets-- plus his experiences driving down I-75 and other crazy topics. Eminem makes his appearance at the 22:00 mark.

It's a pretty odd show but it kept me entertained!

"Only in Monroe" is a public access show in Monroe and below are examples of episodes.

I have no idea how this came about, but it has to be a huge hit for MPACTStudio.

According to the Huffington Post:

Beth Kern, who works at MPACT, told The Huffington Post in a phone interview Wednesday that while Colbert's takeover of the monthly program was planned, they weren't expecting rapper Eminem to stop by for an interview.
