I loved Stephen’s Italian accent when reading the vatican review. Haha! And how he turned and was talking to the wrong camera for a few seconds lol.

Happy birthday, oh purple-mounted one!
Cute show…”ah giv it-ah three popes”…:D

Wheeere’s the cameraaaa…? hahaha!

But since the Mass hasn’t been done in latin since the early sixties (as far as I know…lapsed you know), I’m not sure why you’d expect Ron Howard to know the latin for ‘and with your spirit’ :P

Thanks to NFZ for the latin/engish translation of the latin bit! =D

Rhythm method effective LOL

geez…non-sequiturs much…

Boy, Stephen kicked some heavy republican butt in the Sound Advice segment!

Yes! I completely agree, I love Tom Hanks so would have been great seeing him and Stephen sparring.

I voted for the Julia Sweig interview, not sure why, just really enjoyed it!

Speaking of Dave Pasquesi, has anyone heard about the fate of The Factory? Spike took down the show’s website so I’m guessing it doesn’t look good, but I’m just curious if anyone’s heard anything definitive.

Ha ha! I giggled at that too. I’ve known a few women who’ve tried it and they all ended up pregnant within a few years no matter how meticulous they were.

I loved the Dave Pasquesi shout out! I also agree with withe what Argon posted below that Hanks probably would have done better on TCR and Howard better on TDS.

Another fun show. I voted for Stephen’s Sound Advice, but I also enjoyed the interview with Julia Sweig and the piece on Cuba (“rhythm method effective” – ha!). I wonder if she had been nervous (it didn’t show in the interview, I thought – she did well) – at the end, Stephen put his hands over hers – like he was saying “well done!”.

Ah, mention of Elian Gonzales brought back memories of the great Even Stevphen piece with Steve Carell dissolving into tears.

It was funny that TDS had Tom Hanks on promoting A&D then TCR had Ron Howard on promoting A&D, but somehow I got the feeling that they should’ve switched interviews since Ron was stammering a lot, he probably would’ve more comfortable and done better on TDS while Tom most likely would’ve stood up better to Stephen’s onslaught and been able to give some back.

I was going to post a comment here earlier just because the reCAPTCHA read “The redeemer,” haha.

Tonight’s TDS and TCR reminded me of the time various groups here tried to have The DaVinci Code banned because aside from the film being blasphemous, they claimed it was pornographic. There were also calls to have the books destroyed. The hysteria surrounding the book and the film was really kind of strange, in that our church leaders didn’t have enough faith in us that we won’t take what we read in Dan Brown’s novel at face value and turn our back on the Church.

It’s almost the end of Stephen’s birthday here in my part of the world. Many happy returns of the day to the honorable and fabulous Sir Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, DFA. :)
