@rebnej – Yeah, I heard all that Bill O stuff about no homeless veterans, and you should hear Keith Olbermann hand it to him. Even though Keith is pretty much the antithesis of Stephen, god I love them both. They hand it to Papa Bear in very different, but wonderful ways.

rebnej – you’re the winner! I really should have included that in the episode guide to explain the voice, no?

@Jennie:

Not sure if this is what you’re thinking of, but, personally, it reminded me of Exit 57: Trouble at the Salmon Farm (and now I have truly fan-geeked out, and I need to be stopped . . . or not).

@zonkuya -
That was one of my favorite parts…

Bonus points if anyone can name where we’ve heard Stephen use that voice before.

I really felt like I betrayed myself too the moment when Stephen says in a lower than boring baritone voice: “What have I become?…”

This was another great episode! I loved both guest interviews and the segment about the truck driver. Stephen and the Judge were really good together.

It looked to me like the Judge slipped up when he called Stephen Bill. Based on the way both men reacted, I didn’t get the impression that it was planned in advance.

Stephen sometimes thinks of himself as Bill O’Reilly. Priceless!

@Jessica:

Listen to the way he says, “It would be funny, if it just weren’t so sad.” (And the stuff around there.)

@Jennie:

I get what you mean about the BillO interview – Stephen has certainly said it was a very uncomfortable interview.

That said, I don’t think BillO is entirely without a sense of humor about himself and Colbert, if for no other reason than he knows Colbert has him completely pegged. (BTW, I still think O’Reilly’s a complete . . . something I can’t write here – did you hear his latest thing about there not being any homeless veterans?! – but I just don’t think he’s entirely humorless.)

Just want to chime in about how wonderful both the interviews were last night.

Southern accent? When? I totally missed it. Good thing the rerun of last night’s episode is in less than an hour.
