I’m not going mad after all! I was sure that was John Oliver, but I thought “Can’t be, they’d have mentioned him.”

Plus, it’s not just That Other Show any more. Since Oliver turned up in Stephen’s suitcase that one time, he’s officially allowed to exist now.

I just saw the commercial with Stephen for the first time! I was watching tv with my 10-year-old sister and she was like “Amanda! It’s Stephen Colbert!!!!” Lol. I have successfully infected her with the Colbert Bug.

Also quickly mention there are also cameos from John Oliver & Samantha Bee in the film (you know… that “other show” that comes on before Colbert? :)

No you are not crazy either. I think I saw it twice yesterday. I think they were both on our local ABC station here. I think the last one where they showed Stephen was during Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t watch that but for some reason I decided to last night. It looks like he has a good cameo.

I watched The Great New Wonderful with an open mind, but it was disappointingly rambling and vague (many different characters with different story lines).

The only stories worth following are Jim Gaffigan (Sandie’s Story), Stephen (David & Allison’s story), and maybe Maggie Gyllenhaal (Emme’s Story). And yes, Stephen’s speech is something to see. (I have 2 autistic children so this is something I don’t take lightly. And I thought it was great.)

How in the world did I miss the fact that Stephen AND Jim Gaffigan are both in this??? I’m SO on top of seeing this…

And I agree with the reviewer in that sometimes the endless string of cameos in some comedies do very well, and if Stephen and Jim Gaffigan are in it, I’m SO there!

I was scanning through the commercials on my Tivo during American Idol on Wednesday night and thought I saw him, but figured I was just suffering from a side effect of the shows not being on this week. I knew John Oliver was in it, but I didn’t know about Stephen! :D

And Mike Myers was pretty funny during his segment on AI that night, so the movie shouldn’t be too bad. :P

@Melody
You are definitely not crazy! I saw the promo on AI, too. It was the first promo for the movie that I had seen with Stephen in it.

It was likely a promo for the hockey contest for The Hour on CBC. I was actually considering doing a capture, but I’m still trying to figure something out for a higher quality. Anyhow, if any of you still want to win free Leafs tickets (and I know you’re out there…) http://www.cbc.ca/thehour/content/guru_contest.html
