I’ve tried 30+ other videos from Colbert Report and Daily Show and this is the only one I’ve found that fails. For example, this link downloads successfully: http://thecolbertreport.cc.com/videos/eweibb/nsa-scandal-developments

for me it's not playable in the browser.
this is the message i get when i open the url in the browser:

Don't freak out but this video is no longer available.
Feel free to watch one of the thousands of other videos just a few clicks away.

Ah, you’re right. Guess this is not a bug in youtube-dl.
