Klassic Kolbert – Take a spin in the No Fact Zone

Welcome, LA Times readers! For those of you who may be new to the site, you may be wondering where we came up with our name. Here’s the original sketch from the “Daily Show” that talks about Stephen inviting his viewers to come take a spin in the No Fact Zone. He has also mentioned the phrase on the ‘Colbert Report’, although once he was just giving us the Colbert Bump.

    AND don’t forget the White House Correspondents Dinner! “I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational argument. I call it the ‘No Fact Zone.’ Fox News, I hold a copyright on that term.”

    So that’s where “It’s French, #$%^& !” came from!

    I remember the episode when Stephen gave NFZ the bump – Massive! I couldn’t wait till the next day for DB’s reaction.
