All You Need to Know: 02/08/09 Edition
February 9, 2009 By
Hey, everyone. What did you think of last week’s shows? You can’t go wrong with Sir Paul McCartney and Steve Martin, especially when you get Steve Martin to wander around the set during your show. (My real question is: can Steve Carell come to New York and do something like that? And why not?) Anyway, [...]

February 6, 2009 By
I can’t believe it’s already Thursday night! What a great week, huh? I thought the shows were all excellent. We had a lot of interesting R.A.P.S. discussions, too!

Episode 5019 (02/04/2009)
February 5, 2009 By
Here’s a brain teaser for you: Your brain is ugly. This is The Colbert Report!” Bishop Tut-Tut: “Tonight: Pope Benedict reinstates a holocaust-denying Bishop. Frankly, I’m skeptical of the evidence that he actually reinstated him.” Stephen’s Christian Bale-esque Freakout Yahweh or No Way – The Superbowl Award Whiner: “Then, I award myself the award for [...]

Neil Gaiman is more excited about being slammed by Colbert than by winning the Newbery award
February 5, 2009 By
Nothing is more exciting than seeing someone famous get totally jazzed about their own personal Colbert Bump. Stephen Colbert said this during his Who’s Not Honoring Me Now segment on ‘The Colbert Report’ last night: First up, the Association for Library Service to Children, who gave the 2009 Newbery metal for distinguished children’s literature to [...]

ZOMG!!! What an awesome episode of ‘The Colbert Report!’ At one point, I was laughing so hard, I was crying. I especially liked the parody of Christian Bale’s meltdown, watching Steve Martin wander around the set, and the interview segment. Wasn’t the read-off hysterical? What were the high points of the show for you, Zoners? [...]
