Klassic Kolbert: Hell

Hard to believe we’re finally coming to the end of the convention season, isn’t it? Stephen’s shows have been utterly fantastic this week, and I’ve just gotten accustomed to the Tuesday-Friday broadcast schedule.

Still, the thing about politics and the media in this country is that there’s always going to be fodder for our favorite fake pundits from Comedy Central to play with. In fact, one could even argue that “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” Revisit this segment from the vaults of The Daily Show with Stephen Colbert reporting on the Republican National Convention back in 2000; I think you’ll see what I mean.

    I definitely see the Stone Phillips-esque gravitas in that clip.
