@ST
Wow! I assumed it said 2008. Good catch.

I had to laugh this morning. A local Sunday news program showed a video clip of the 3 pundit feud over Huckabee and then tried to take credit for Huckabee because he was on their show before he announced his candidacy… :-)

@St. Tordoff – HaHaHa! The writing on the side was a bit blurry when I watched it and I assumed it said 2008 – I had to look close this time to confirm it’s 2012.

Here’s to thinking ahead!

Anyone else notice that the air hockey table had “Comedy Central’s Indecision 2012″ on the side?

Huckabee/Colbert ticket for ‘12?

@somuch2kno & Jennie
I was thinking of Carson too!

I found a YouTube clip of Michigan J. Frog:

yup, those options’ll get you every time…. I mean , you just can’t beat 4 on the floor, and a moon roof. :D ( i didn’t get the Tom Cruise ref either, so thanks for pointing that out…it makes the bit even funnier)

And it’s so cool that he knew the Bugs Bunny frog’s name…i always loved that frog.

I haven’t seen the episode yet, but my inner Star Trek geek was flailing at the idea of Stephen speaking Klingon. And how sad is it that I knew it was Klingon even before I saw the mention of Worf?

@somuch2kno: I’m with you about Huckabee. He has a great sense of humor and interacts with Stephen so well. But I’m also not voting for him. (Or actually, didn’t vote for him on Tuesday.) Can’t wait to see the air hockey segment now!

Oh, so THAT’s what tongue in cheek meant…

Or is it? :)

@TLE – thanks for finding the “tai chi” link… I was anxious to get this up and, not having seen Star Trek since Kirk, Spock, and Scotty days, never would have found one as good for a good while.

@somuch2kno – It was definitely a flash back to Carson for me as well… in fact my first thought when I saw him pick it up was “he’s channeling Carson”. That he handed it back so quickly only made it even more so.

@Tina -
“Honor & Success” – I thought of the writers, too! But then wasn’t sure if that wasn’t a bit of a reach. Maybe not.

This was a great, entertaining show! The Huckabee segment was both so smooth AND silly. He just comes off as being so comfortable. I don’t think I want him for President (my apologies to Stephen’s political aspirations), but he can come by and hang out any time. And air hockey – Brilliant!

Part II of BKAL was also great. I had to go back and watch it again, tho’, ’cause, as with Wednesday’s segment, I was too busy looking at Stephen looking like… himself (sort of)! Did he do his own hair? And I saw freckles! When he’s in full “Stephen” make-up, you usually can’t spot a freckle even in a close-up!

Finally – the frog had me flashing back to the best days of Johnny Carson. Nothing says great TV like a monkey on a host’s head. Or a frog with fangs.

I loved the bit where he was trying to lobby Solmonese! I had no idea Tom Cruise had said something similar. Probably because I don’t like him. I laughed out loud when Solmonese wrinkled his nose and changed the subject when Stephen said “vagina”. Hilarious! I’m also a huge science geek and a veterinary technician so I really loved the interview with Mark Moffett. I may have to find that book now. And the air hockey was fun too.
