I think Tommy Smothers meant truthiness. Haha.

gah — this is awful. Stephen has totally brung it every night for three years. Every goddamn night he’s out there with his manic energy, and coming up with great jokes, often on the fly (in the interviews). It’s a travesty that he’s lost out to these one-night “specials” three years running.

Agreed. I also liked when Rickles and Kathy Griffin presented– I thought it was one of the best bits of the evening. Next to Jon and Stephen and Ricky Gervais and Steve Carell, of course. :)

Still, congratulations to Stephen, the writers and everyone at TCR for their well-deserved Emmy. I look forward to seeing Don Rickles on the show, I think that would be really awesome.

And after hearing Tommy Smothers’ speech and his definition of truth, (“what you get other people to believe”) I think having him on the show would be really fun, too.

Next year, Stephen! :)

LOL! That could be a line on TCR. And by “could,” I mean “should.”

Don Rickles is as old as Methuselah. He probably doesn’t even know who Colbert is…although he’s going to find out now! :D

“competes against famous old dudes who do one-night specials?”

HA. I thought you meant Jon.

I don’t know why Rickles mentioned Letterman. I wish he had mentioned Stephen in his acceptance speech. That would have gotten the ball rolling….

Suggestions as to what Rickles could have said to Stephen?

I knew NFZ would have up-to-the-minute updates, so I just waited until the show was over and then came to NFZ.
