Jesse Ignjatovic from MTV has denied that they did not let Daft Punk from appearing on the US late night show with The Colbert Report on August 6th. Originally Stephen Colbert said that Daft Punk was not able to make it on the show due to the fact that Daft Punk will be making an appearance on the MTV VMAs. MTV has said that it was the management of the French duo who made the decision to not play on The Colbert Report.
Jesse Ignjatovic appeared on Paul Mercurio's podcast who said “We don't put restrictions on anyone. I just think that we're talking to them about a moment and then things sort of change. I would not describe that as MTV putting restrictions on people – it was up to that artist and their management what they wanted to do.”
