Robin, Billy & Whoopi Bring ‘Comic Relief’ Back
LAS VEGAS (November 13, 2006) — After an eight-year hiatus, Comic Relief, the
celebrity-studded fundraising telethon for the homeless, is back.Robin Williams, Billy Crystal and Whoopi Goldberg will take the stage Saturday to raise funds for Hurricane Katrina victims, capping the weeklong Comedy Festival which begins Tuesday in Las Vegas.
…
This year it will bring together many top comedians, including Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, George Lopez and Sarah Silverman. Wayne Brady will host the show’s satellite location in New Orleans. It will be broadcast live from Caesars Palace on HBO and, with an eight-second delay for content, on TBS.
Of course, again I thought of “The Office” where Michael decides he’s going to donate to Comic Relief, until a staff reminds them that Comic Relief is no longer active. Guess he can donate now, huh? I just love “The Office.” But I digress.

Colbert Fans Feeling Whiskey Dicked
RadarOnline.comIf you live in Manhattan, and your Time Warner Cable DVR has been acting up lately, the culprit may be a spirit.
Not the spectral kind. We’re talking about Dewar’s, the “sophisticated whisky that’s honeyed and spicy, yet light and smoky,” as Bacardi, the Bermuda-based liquor behemoth that owns the Dewar’s brand, puts it.
According to several avid TV viewers, no fewer than four of whom work at Radar, the new ads for Dewar’s, which feature inane quotes—”Dewarisms”—from a fake dead guy named Tommy Dewar set to indie-rock tunes, have been rendered unskippable on Time Warner DVRs. When our correspondents have attempted to fast-forward through the spots while watching previously recorded episodes of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report, their DVRs mysteriously freeze up, forcing them to sit through them. Only the Dewar’s spots seem to make the DVRs uncooperative—they speed through all the other commercials just as they were designed to.
Of course, unskippable ads would be the Holy Grail to DVR-weary advertisers and television networks, which made us curious. And we’re not alone: “[O]ur DVR stops and refuses to fast forward through the Dewar’s commercials,” wrote Lianne Habinek, a New York blogger, in September. “Suspicious? I believe so. Every other commercial it zips through just fine. But Dewar’s? Not so much. We had to watch half a dozen Dewarisms. HALF A DOZEN, people. How many more will it take before we realize what’s going on here?”

- I only wish there was something we could go burn down!
- Look, John, once the Democrats took the Senate, we all though about killing ourselves. Hell, when my driver took me home last Thursday, I asked him to stay with me in the garage with the motor running and the door closed. Somebody’s got to drive me around heaven. But I’m so glad Luis said “No Señor.”
- I am an adult now, you’re not the boss of me! [Cheney Is]
- That Wørd was kinda sad.
- I feel sorry for those metal shards. Besides, the FDA said it would probably only cause minor stomach discomfort. And do you know what people take when they have minor discomfort? Acetomenophen! Perrigo, you had the analgesic equivalent of a perpetual motion machine, and you took it off the market.
- No wonder you haven’t had a winning season in four years, you’ve been playing with a Contact High.
- Clearly the Republicans didn’t lose this election, Donald Rumsfeld did. Like all mid-term elections, this was a referendum on the Secretary of Defense – not the President, not the Congress. Mr. Future Former Sec Def, you get a double Wag of my fingers at you sir! Not enough … I’m going to Wag my whole body at you! That is a great Core strengthener, I should be that angry more often.
- That doesn’t prove anything about waterboarding, it just proves that Fox News reporters are a bunch of pussies.
- All right, do your dirtiest! (Killer opens bottle) What was that noise? Where are you? Oh, God! I’ll tell you anything you want to know! I licked every piece of cheese on Dan Rather’s Snack Tray! I enjoy women’s facial moisturizer! Last week, I saw Hillary Clinton on TV and … I think it moved a little. Ok, that’s enough of that. That is terrible. You know what? Let’s do the rest … on Bobby.
- Dan Rather laughing is SO cute!
- Dan: Well, I hope it will be news with guts, and spine … Colbert: I like guts and spine. How about balls? Dan: Well, if we don’t have those, we’re really in trouble.
- The world is so scary now, do we really want to see the world in crisp detail? I mean, shouldn’t we want to see the world right now more like an impressionist painting, kind of blurry, a lot of color and light but not much inf … like USA Today.
- Hmm … new Tek Jansen on Wednesday according to the ad that just ran.
- Oh my God, I never thought I’d see the map that red again.
