Congratulations to Stephen, his staff, the crew and Philly!
I wish all those extra people who watched would vote for him in the Time poll. He’s slipping quickly and Heidi Klum is catching up to him!

GAH. I can’t even think of the Time poll without getting miffed. Come on people!!! Rain has over a million votes and Stephen’s THIRD. Heidi Klum? Really? Are you serious? At least Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s moved up. He’s worthy.
I do want to give congratulations also, to Stephen and the rest of the TCR crew, for being the subject of their own Colbert Bump.

Nice! I think vigwig and I called it a few posts ago — looks like TCR got a nice Bump out of being in Philly.
Congratulations to everyone who helped make the shows possible. It was an absolutely memorable week!

As one of those “persons 18 to 49,” may I say I hope it encourages the show to do more road trips? Within the realm of the staff’s ability, of course. I can’t imagine how much extra work went into pulling that off. It was a nice touch to run all the staff’s names in the credits on Thursday night. I hope they had a BIIIIG farewell party!
