AP reviews “Colbert & Colmes”
Either it’s a slow news day, or the Associated Press missed Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report as much as we did. From the AP:
Alan Colmes plays Colbert’s sidekick for a day
By JAKE COYLE – 48 minutes ago
NEW YORK (AP) — Jettisoned by his longtime co-host Sean Hannity, Alan Colmes was adopted by Stephen Colbert — for a day, at least.
On Monday’s “The Colbert Report,” Colbert introduced the Fox News commentator as his new co-host.
It was the first episode of the Comedy Central show following the holiday break, and Colbert unveiled a completely new format, dubbing the show “Colbert & Colmes.” The new design featured a “C & C” graphic and a chair behind the desk for Colmes (albeit one a foot or two shorter than Colbert’s).
. . .
Reached by phone Tuesday, Colmes had returned to his human self.
“It was very well done,” said Colmes, who is developing a new weekend show for Fox News.
As to how working with Colbert compares to working with Hannity, Colmes said: “Both are extremely gracious, although I feel a lot taller sitting next to Sean Hannity.”
