That was friggin hillarious. I like it, the Daily Show is your evening news spoof, while The Colbert Report is more of a Billy O'Rielly, Chris Matthews, etc spoof. Absolutely hillarious.

The beginning kinda bothered me, but the moment he started talking about his last name I knew Colbert was back and better than ever. And that Phillips interview? Damn, I cant think of a single Stewart interview that eclipses it. This could easily surpass the Daily Show in terms of quality.

Looks like I have a new show to add to my daily TV roundup. This show is far too funny for its own good, and I must watch it.

Plus the fact that he insists on pronouncing "report" with a silent 't' is silly. In a good way.

Last night 1.13 million people watched The Colbert Report (remember Col-bear Ra-poor) which is excellent news. I believe The Daily Show averages around 1.4 million so if the quality doesn't dip it should be an extra half hour a day of laughs for us.

It's a joke they play. Since Colbert has a silent "T" they say Report with a silent "T"

And another fine episode. I love his smugness, but at the same time you know he's just bluffing the whole time. Plus the Word segment is gold.Pure gold.

Not too many guests get booed on The Daily Show, felt like I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher for a second.
Tucker Carlson couldn't physically hurt Jon, but O'Reilly sure could if he pissed him off. Colbert had the right advice to curl up in a ball. Jon's reaction when O'Reilly called him a "pinhead" and that Bill is still banning anything French was priceless.

On Nightline's new anchors: "You know what, ABC? You're overreacting. The Colbert Report has only been on the air for one day. For you to panic and pull Koppel… I would have thought you'd try to tough it out. Although, I accept your surrender."

You guys know that Rob Cordry is doing "This Week in God" now?

Rob Cordry? Come on. I love the guy, but this week in God is should really be a Colbert only segment. I hate the new guy on the Daily Show though. Not the young guy, but the balding dude who did that beer segment. He's incredibly dull.

And did O' Reily really try to tell McCain how it is to be a POW? Wasnt he a prisoner for OVER five years? He's such an ignorant jackass. I wish Stewart could get him cancelled like he did with Crossfire.

Corrdry did the seqment last year, maybe while Colbert was away, but he's the #2 guy there now at The Daily Show. And all segments have had various corespondents in them. This Week In God just happened to be one that really clicked and sometimes was the best thing in the show.

Nate Corrdry is the only new guy I like, I thought the other guy who did the horse show thing, tried to hard to do everything that everyone else has done but in his first piece. Dan is the other bald guy, he seems dull but the piece the other night about beer was good just because of those he interviewed. Colbert has been around since 1997 back when Craig Kilborn hosted, and Lewis Black has been there from the start.

The Colbert Report was hilarious. I can't wait until it gets off the ground real good. I'm a fan of the Daily Show as well. Ed Helms and Rob Cordry make the best field reporters. I don't care if it's fake, it's real where it counts! The gut!

Matt
10-20-2005, 09:48 AM
Or as Colbert would say, Pyro..."THE BALLS!".

Yea, I don't like the correspondant who did the beer story either. They should give more time to Samantha Bee, Ed Helms, and Rob Cordry (well, Cordry is getting more time...Helms should've so got "This Week In God). Those 3 could do one field report a week, taking up 3 of the 4 days. Who needs the ****ty new correspondants then?

Cordry's skit on "The White Show" was great.

"What's the deal with the Cheney character!?!?! He went from plausibly evil to cartoony evil!" "One complaint, where is the Osama character? They built him up during season 1 and then he just disappeared from the show!"

Colbert in Canada! Much quicker than I expected, but The Daily Show is even bigger in Canada than it is the States.

The Colbert Report will air Mondays - Thursdays – immediately following The Daily Show with Jon Stewart – on The Comedy Network, creating a must-see, full-hour of mock news headlines and commentary. Beginning Monday, November 7, The Colbert Report will air 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on The Comedy Network (check local listings) and 12:35 p.m. ET on CTV. Encore broadcasts of eTalk Daily (previously seen at 12:35 a.m. on CTV) move to 10 a.m. ET the following day.

I think the biggest problem is the Daily Show gets the big headlines for the day, leaving Colbert without the best material to work with, he's gotta reach farther, also he doesn't have the everyman charm that Jon Stewart has. His character has always been a little pompus and I don't think it works as well. Corresponants would help too. It's just too much time, without enough material for one man.

He said Nate is a rising star, Jon is hairy as ****, that Colbert is a white supremist and raped Rob once. Also they showed unaired raw footage from his piece on the dirty election booth.

The Truly Serious Appear on 'The Colbert Report'
Ex-FEMA chief Brown is the latest public figure to cross his fingers and face the mock newscaster


NEW YORK -- Former FEMA director Michael D. Brown is tired of being caricatured as an incompetent federal appointee who stood by idly while the Gulf Coast was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. During an appearance before a Senate committee last month, he refused to accept all the blame for the government's slow response, insisting that he had warned the White House of the storm's disastrous potential.

Now he's embarking on the next step of his rehabilitation tour: He's going on "The Colbert Report."

On Tuesday, Brown is scheduled to sit down with Stephen Colbert -- who plays the bombastic, preening cable anchor on Comedy Central's 11:30 p.m. mock newscast -- for an unpredictable interview in which the only thing the former federal official can count on is the likelihood of being embarrassed.

Why, after months of being fodder for late-night television comedians, is he willing to subject himself to such a public ordeal?

Brown admits that he had never heard of "The Colbert Report" until he was invited to be a guest. But after watching several episodes, he says, "I think I know what I'm in for.

"It's not mean-spirited humor, it's just good satire," Brown said in an interview last week. "I go in with my eyes open that they will do whatever they can to make fun of me. But I hope people see I'm human and a decent guy."

Nowadays, it seems, it's not enough to field lighthearted quips on "The Tonight Show" to prove that you have a sense of humor. The real test for a public figure, especially with an image to mend, is to endure a heavy dose of ridicule at the hands of Colbert, whose parody of a pompous television pundit has attracted an impressive lineup of guests since the show premiered in October.

They don't come on to be flattered. New York state Atty. Gen. Eliot Spitzer, known for his crackdown on Wall Street shenanigans, made an appearance on the show to tout his gubernatorial bid, only to have Colbert inquire if he had been a tattletale as a child. California Sen. Barbara Boxer spent most of her interview shaking with horrified laughter as Colbert earnestly read aloud the sex scenes from her new novel. And when George Stephanopoulos visited the program, his host politely inquired if ABC's short-statured chief Washington correspondent needed to sit on a telephone book in order to reach the table.

"If you go into it knowing that you're not going to take yourself too seriously, it's a good way to reach a new audience," Stephanopoulos said. "I was struck how, after I went on, people who normally wouldn't see me on anything were coming up to me -- I'm talking about the checkout clerk at the grocery store, the guy at the dry cleaners."

With an average of 1.1 million viewers a night, the program gets solid if not spectacular ratings for a late-night cable show. But 40% of its audience is in the coveted 18- to 34-year-old age group, which means that "The Colbert Report" -- like its lead-in, "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," from which it was spun off -- offers media figures and politicians valuable airtime in front of young viewers, even if they risk looking silly in the process.

CBS anchor Bob Schieffer said Colbert had successfully bottled the spirit of the annual Gridiron dinner, a clubby inside-the-Beltway roast of major Washington figures, and given it broad appeal.

"I think it's part of the American redemption process now that you have to let people make fun of you a bit," said 69-year-old Schieffer, who joked on the program this month that most viewers of "CBS Evening News" were older than he was.

Emily Lazar, who books "The Colbert Report" guests, said she was in discussions with a raft of likely 2008 presidential candidates who were interested in coming on, including Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Russell D. Feingold (D-Wis.), Joseph R. Biden Jr. (D-Del.), Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) and John F. Kerry (D-Mass.).

"Sparring with Stephen on Comedy Central humanizes politicians and makes them seem -- for lack of a better word -- cool," she said.

Of course, offering oneself up as Colbert's target is not a risk-free enterprise. Bristle at his needling and you look like a bad sport. Crack jokes, and it can seem like you're trying too hard.

"It's a gamble, because if you mess up and look foolish, it's a negative," said Boxer, who tried to cut off Colbert's recitation of the racy passages in her book by snatching his notecards out of his hand. "But I do think you do get points for just doing it."

Brown said his friends and family had had two reactions to his decision to go on the program: "Either, 'That's so cool,' or, 'Oh my God,' their head in their hands."

Still, such is Colbert's cachet that he was invited to headline the annual White House correspondents' dinner in late April. And the comedian has already managed to persuade more than 20 members of Congress to participate in his "Better Know a District" segment, in which he quizzes befuddled-seeming lawmakers with off-the-wall questions.

Georgia Rep. Jack Kingston got such a great response to his appearance on the program -- in which the host engaged the white Republican, who lived in Ethiopia for a few years as a child, in a discussion about his "African American experience" -- that he's urged his GOP colleagues to let Colbert interview them as well.

Kingston showed a clip of his appearance at a retreat of House Republicans, and his press secretary, David All, sent an e-mail to other GOP aides urging them to get their bosses on the program and "show 'em that Republicans have a sense of humor too."

"He can do Fox News or CNN live 20 weeks in a row, but it's so repetitive," All said. "We've gotten more mileage out of doing this -- not only in the district, but nationally."

Indeed, that's why Democratic Rep. Donna M. Christensen, the nonvoting delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands, went on.

"I'm a delegate; I don't often get to be on a program that is so widely watched," she said.

That said, Christensen felt a little ambivalent about her interview, in which Colbert noted that the Virgin Islands were under the domain of Denmark, France and Spain before they became a U.S. protectorate.

"Isn't it time to drop the whole virgin act?" he asked her.

"What else would we call ourselves?" she responded warily.

"Trollop Islands?" Colbert offered. "The Been-Around-the-Block Islands? The Not-Until-the-Third-Date Islands?"

Christensen said that although people in her district were generally pleased that the Virgin Islands "got a showing," she was worried that it wasn't her best performance.

"Most of the time, you're trying to project your very best image, and this could leave you vulnerable," she said. "Now that you're asking me, I'm kind of wondering why I did agree to it so quickly."

But Rep. Linda T. Sanchez (D-Lakewood) said going on the show has little downside.

During her interview, Colbert asked her to say, "I took money from Jack Abramoff" in Spanish -- then proceeded to grill her about why she accepted money from the indicted lobbyist, dismissing her protestations.

"You do have to have the ability to laugh at yourself," Sanchez said. "Most members of Congress are looked at as really dry, blowhard kind of people. But as I've gotten to know them, I've realized that a lot of my colleagues are really funny, and you never get to see that."

Still, she said she was surprised to hear that someone like Brown -- who was such a public target after Hurricane Katrina -- would agree to go on the program.

"He's brave, man," Sanchez said with a laugh. "You've got to give him credit."

The former FEMA director said he hoped to hold his own. Although "not a comedian by any stretch," Brown said he does have an ability to jest -- a fact he said was lost on critics who assailed him for e-mailing his aides about his wardrobe during the storm.

"I do not believe I'm a 'fashion god,' " Brown said. "That was my dry sense of humor."

When the challenge was started back in August, I thought that ILM or other companies might work on their own video; never thought that George Lucas would show up and have a video.

Last night's guest was TBA, and when Colbert opened the show without any mention of a guest I figured it was just going to be Green Screen and Tek Jansen. Great stuff, even though Colbert is a huge LOTR fan. That's his next goal I suppose, to have Peter Jackson on.

Since the OHL's Saginaw Spirit introduced their new mascot, Steagle Colbeagle the Eagle they are 3-0.

Col-bert County (I forget which state) opened their Stephen Colbert Museum yesterday and everything pronouced Col-bert was pronouched Col-bear. Look for it soon on the Report. Tad the building manager was sent down for the fesitivities.

Seeing George L's (lol) video, you really see the difference between pro and amateur effects artists.
