Seriously, I could listen to these guys talk for days. What’s not to love? Our favorite astrophysicist, Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, interviews our favorite faux pundit, Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A., about how to bring science to the masses, and you can listen to the episode here on startalkradio.net. The show is pretty long and [...]

Greetings, Zoners!

August 17, 2009 By
Hey, kids. I know Tiger usually does these Six Degrees entries now (and she just posted a big one last week), but John Oliver seems to be throwing down a challenge to Stephen Colbert for that “hardest working” title at the moment. In addition to his work on The Daily Show, The Bugle, and his [...]
Dark Horse comics gives Harmony the Colbert Bump
August 16, 2009 By
For those of you fans of ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ who have been faithfully reading the “Season 8″ comic books, you’ll love this little vignette featuring Harmony the vampire on the set of the ‘Colbert Report’.

Good evening, everyone, and happy Saturday! This report would have been out yesterday, but I was out screaming my lungs out at a concert by indie rock band and Friends of the Show The Decemberists!

Welcome to No Fact Zone’s weekly roundup of cultural references on The Colbert Report. From Darcy to Danger Mouse, String Theory to Shakespeare, we’ve got the keys to this week’s obscure, oddball, and occasionally obscene cultural shout-outs (hey!). Hey Zoners!
