I loved everything about this episode, but “Gotcha Journalism” was definitely my favorite segment. Is it January 20th yet?
Tip of the Hat/Wag of the Finger was hilarious tonight! The land fish joke was so wrong yet very funny. And, how great was it to see the Monkey on the Lam graphic again?
Here are some notable moments from this episode:
- Applause for the gray aliens – They will have a heavy burden.
- Helen Thomas, longtime lover of both Statler and Waldorf… One of the freakiest three-ways imagineable.
- George Bush – Great president or the greatest president?
- I think he’s completely reflective because the questions just bounce off of him.
- Stop interrupting the man when he’s confusing Afghanistan with Iraq.
- Monkey!

Gotcha journalism was the best part for me. I just love to watch Helen Thomas and Divid Gwegowy bring the hammer down on people. I have huge respect for people like them.
Wow, haven’t seen Monkey on the Lam in a while. I gotta say I like the “Monkey” graphic, as well, though there’s nothing quite like watching a monkey ride a lam and shoot off a handgun.
Shepard Fairy is so cool.
I wonder what happened to Stephen’s finger. I noticed a little blue band-aid.

I wondered about the band-aid too. I expected he’d say something about it, because I figured if he didn’t want to make an issue of it, it probably wouldn’t be bright blue!
He’s going to have to add another bit of tape to the body outline on the studio floor.

lol now THAT would be awesome.
Yeah besides the fact that it was bright and obvious, I wondered why he WOULD wear a band-aid on air, especially on a place as harmless as his finger. *shrug*

I had to go with the Shepard Fairey interview. I thought it was really cool to meet the guy who did those Obama posters that are, literally, everywhere, not to mention the graphic with Stephen at the very end that had “OBEY” written under it. That may be my new gravitar. Tee hee…

I haven’t seen the show yet, but I’m giggling over the fact that Stephen dissed the New York Mets and their extremely lame 2009 Citi Field Inaugural Patch. Hahaha… seriously, I could’ve designed something better than that.

WOW, Stephen had David Gregory for breakfast on the press rolling over for Bush. Shades of WHCD, awesome.

it was cool to see shepard fairey on the show, although i think he has passed out of the realm of being a “criminal” or “disobedient” now that he does ads for saks, shown here; http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/08/fashion/08ROW.html
i was kinda sad to see this, and think stephen was right-on when he said shepard was rollin in it.

I missed a chunk of this episode, so I’m gonna have to (re)watch online tonight, because my cable channel replayed the TOC of the previous episode, and after the opening graphic, immediately cut to Helen Thomas in the gotcha journalism segment. :( Oh well…
DB, I’m so sorry for your news. Stay strong and confident. While I haven’t been here in NFZ for long, please know that I do appreciate the hard work you have put in this site. Take care always. :)
Coincidentally, as I’m typing this comment, the ReCAPTCHA reads: ‘one stands’. Stand tall and stay strong, Zoners! :)

Seeing the band-aid on Colbert’s finger–especially when he didn’t make any reference to it–made me think of Les Nessman from WKRP in Cincinnati. :D
And he was *definitely* channelling Jo Anne Worley from Laugh-In with his high-pitched “boooor-ing” …yes, I am old. :P
…land-fish…ahahaha!
And may I say that David Gregory is huuuge…O.o

that finger thing made me think of Chris Martin from Coldplay taping up his hands for Make Trade Fair. maybe it was a message that I just don’t get. kind of like how I still don’t GET those foolish Sarah Palin glasses.
I voted for the first bit about the news. a heavy dose of Bush comedy right before it goes out of style is good.
in the bit about the stadiums, though, I loved the “Borrrrrringgggg” so much I went back and watched it again.
