Fan site for Stephen Colbert and the Colbert Report
Not one, but TWO places mentioned the new season premiere promo from House featuring Hugh Laurie’s new short hairdo … and linked it to Stephen Colbert’s new cropped tresses. First, EW.com does some seriously gratuitous name dropping: The buzz cut certainly agrees with Hugh Laurie, maybe even more than it agrees with Stephen Colbert. One [...]
Grrrr … this “not living in NYC” thing can really kick you in the pants when AWESOME things like this are advertised and you know there’s no way you can get to it. Anyhow, for those of you who are lucky enough to live there, here’s my bitter-I-can’t-be-there post. From 92Y Tribeca: Comedy Below Canal [...]
I meant to post this yesterday, but things got busy. I know I’m not the only one who immediately thought of this clip when, during Stephen’s “Remembering Remembering Michael Jackson“, we heard Stephen lament the ephemeral nature of most of our “news”, saying it was like “Octomom” or the “Summer of the Shark”. I think [...]
EPISODE NUMBER: 5093 (July 14, 2009) GUESTS: Leyman Gbowee SEGMENTS: The WØRD: Guns, Credit, and Corn VIDEOS: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 I absolutely adored the Senator Wences bit.

And it was a good, solid show tonight. Did anyone else notice the cameo [...]
Rejoice, O Colbert fans, for there are new shows tonight! Break weeks, for all we welcome them on behalf of Stephen and his hardworking crew, are pretty tough for the rest of us. I hope you all had a good hiatus; I spent most of mine relaxing, reading and catching up with friends and family. [...]

Greetings, Zoners! We’ve just about made it through another Report-less week. New show tomorrow night, and then we’ll have the answer to the all-important question: how much did Stephen’s hair grow during the break? It’s been relatively quiet on the Colbert news front, as it often is when the show isn’t taping. But there were [...]
Big tip of the hat to Jennie, who turned our attention to this video of Stephen talking to, it appears, Republican congressional aides and/or press secretaries in 2006.
