The Colbert Report Episode News:
- Catch up with the Daily Show and Colbert Report Global Edition for the week of March 2nd.
- Yee-OW! No Fact Zone finds itself on the receiving end of the Colbert Bump on Thursday night, and it feels so good. Thanks, Stephen!
- Guest Alert! Author Neil Gaiman will visit The Colbert Report on Monday, March 16.
Mainstream Media:
- No, Stephen Colbert is not selling men’s clothing in Iran, despite the photographic evidence.
- Creativity magazine honors Stephen as one of the 50 most creative people in 2009. It’s not your everyday honor but it’s a well-deserved one on Stephen’s part!
- Tha Academy changes the Emmy rules so that Series hosts won’t compete against ‘specials’ any longer. . . but now it looks like the Academy is actually eliminating the Emmy for individual performance in a variety series or special. That’s really not cool!
- Papa Bear Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck (he doesn’t have a nickname yet) discuss the potential feud between Glenn and Stephen Colbert. Could Glenn vs. Stephen become the next Jim vs. Jon?
Name That NASA Node:
- Go go Colbert Nation! On March 10, Stephen Colbert leads the votes in the NASA Node 3 naming contest.
- On March 12, ‘Colbert’ leads the naming contest by over 35,000 votes! Rock on!
Shiny New Segments at the No Fact Zone
- Add to your reading list and vote for your favorite author in the First Ever Stephen T. Colbert Book Club For The Literary Excellence!
- The Stephen T. Colbert Book Club for The Literary Excellence poll has closed, and Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Death by Black Hole is the chosen tome. I’m going to go crack open my signed copy (not to rub it in or anything. . . but he is second only to Stephen in ‘coolest person to meet in person’ status.)
- It’s officially in its spot just below the Episode Guides (above), but make sure you check out the Four Horsemen of the Apopcalypse: No Fact Zone’s new pop culture reference guide to the week’s episodes.
- The Fangirl Suit Report has expanded into its own post, complete with visual aids. It’s like a condensed version of Eye Candy!
We Call It The Joy Machine:
- Design student Alex Meiser creates a very cool fan art picture of Stephen Colbert using only typefont letters.
- In another bit of inspiration, artist Sean McLean paints a portrait of Stephen painting a self-portrait.
- Online shopping alert: Comedy Central has ‘Che Colbert’ t-shirts available. Much better than your average Busted Tees shirt.
Six Degrees of Stephen Colbert:
- A hearty congratulations to Colbert Report audience coordinator Mark Malkoff for winning the PR Week Campaign of the Year Award for his Ikea series. Couldn’t happen to a harder-working guy!
- Hulu now has Season 3 of ‘Strangers With Candy.’ Do you want to spend a full day watching the whole thing? Don’t even try to resist. . .
- Because it’s the interview everyone’s talking about this week: Jon Stewart takes Jim Cramer apart on The Daily Show. The unedited interview sort of takes your breath away.
No Fact Zone News:
- Colbert University gives us the rundown on a currently-hot course: OMG! SPACE! (The official course title is SCI 301: Space.)
Check out what’s new at Colbert University!
