GUEST: Ed Viesturs
SEGMENTS: The WØRD: Ban de Soleil, Colbert Report ReReport – Lost Treasures of Babylon
VIDEOS: Thursday, July 2, 2009

What a wonderfully funny show to send us off towards a week of reruns! Did anyone notice that Stephen had a full head of hair when he was trying to interview the bottle of Demerol? And my favorite graphic of the night was the little hamster mustache. HA! I really enjoyed tonight’s WØRD. I am amazed at how violently opposed to environmental safety so many members of the House seem to be. Or, at the very least, they are quite trained by their Republican handlers. And did Professor Baynor remind anyone else of the Eugene Levy character in “A Mighty Wind”?

And yay for outtakes from the Iraq trip! Except, you know, the VOMITING! Good God, people, you know how much I hate it! And I had no warning – I got a full face of Colbert vomit sack. Man, oh MAN! Cut it out! How cute was Stephen climbing the monkey bars, though? And it was adorable how the drill sergeant kept calling him ColberT. Stephen copping a feel of the poster was just so wrong. And you know that kiss with Stephen Colbert and Tom Hanks will launch a thousand disturbing fanfics (if it hasn’t already).

Again, I petition The Powers That Be at Comedy Central to do a DVD of the Iraq trip, complete with outtakes and bloopers and all of the goodies that would be absolutely wonderful to view and own. Please?

It’s always fascinating to watch interviews when Stephen is obviously into the subject. Ed Viesturs is such an interesting interview. It was quite cool to see Viesturs on the peak with the Colbert Nation flag. We need to fly that flag all over the place. Maybe one of the graphics gurus out there can make a graphic of the flag?

Ok, off to a week of reruns – enjoy the long weekend, kiddos! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on this episode.
