Laura Dern looks JUST like my aunt. To the point that it was strange watching that interview.
…just thought I’d let everyone know. Lol.

I loved this- “He [John Edwards] is going to need more than two Americas to hide from Hillary Clinton.”
Great interview! Stephen did a good job of nailing him. I liked his remarks about bunkers in Idaho and rhetoric from the 19th century south. Good Stuff!
The goodbye segement was very funny but I don’t even want to think of TCR being cancelled. Oh the Horror!
I hope scientists step up and name a bug after Stephen. :-)

Actually, there was a bug named after Stephen. Diamphipnoa colberti. Stonefly species from Chile. Someone posted about it on the Colboard in March.

Another thing that I liked about this episode was Stephen’s interaction with the applauding audience at the top of the show. I always love watching this and I found it especially fun to watch last night.

I’ve seen WPTS clips before a few times, but did I miss what “WPTS” actually stands for?

WPTS are the call letters for a fictional television station. For more info on this, check out Wikipedia’s entry on “call sign”.

…also meant to say, WPTS could stand for something, but I haven’t seen any reference to this on the show, has anyone else?

The town the station is in is PatTerson Springs, North Carolina (an actual town), so it’s a semi-acronym, which I think is common practice in the actual naming of stations.

As soon as Stephen mentioned the footage I really thought they were going to air some real footage from him back in the day. How great would that be to watch…

It’s supposed to be the television station.
In all honestly though, I was curious to see if there really was a WPTS because Patterson Springs is an hour and a half from where I live, then I remembered that there’s really only one local news station in NC this side of Charlotte, and it’s WLOS, based here in Asheville. I’ve even been in some parts of South Carolina and they had WLOS on. So, unfortunately, in all actuality, there is no WPTS, at least not anymore, if there ever was. They either watch Charlotte based news, or WLOS.
Still, its an entertaining thought.

Stephen had some good retorts initially w/ Norquist (Idaho bunkers, 19th C m.o.) but I thought he’d end it with a better zinger. I was hoping for more of his classic “reel ‘em in then nail ‘em technique” a la Dinesh D’Souza.

I liked the part about roads. That cracked me up.

I cant believe the things that guy was saying, leave taxes where they are? Sure if you wanna see this country die off in a couple of years. Taxes need to go way up for those on the top end of things, but we’d all have to take the hit somehow.
*prays McCain doesnt get in the white house*
I don’t see how people can be so irresponsible. Its just amazes me.

Yay, a UMASS mention! If Stephen wants an honorary PHD from UMASS Amherst, I could “doctor” up my bachelor’s degree for him. But he deserves the real thing.
