Before we go, let’s check in with our good friend Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report…

Greetings, fellow Zoners! This week I must confess to you all that I am behind the curve — I have three nights’ worth of TDS and TCR stacked up in the Tivo waiting to be watched, which I will catch up on over the weekend. I checked The Daily Show’s website to see if I missed a Toss, and indeed I did. Having missed the Al Gore interview, I don’t have much context for the Toss yet, but here it is:

Daily/Colbert – Faulty Al Gore Interview: Stephen wants to know why Jon’s interview with Al Gore was like a faulty computer program.

I love this Toss, and the guys are clearly having fun. Having Al Gore make a little guest appearance on Stephen’s side was a great choice. However — as much as I may lean politically towards Al, and as brilliant as I think he is… he’s kind of a comedy killer. He’s a lot of great things, but funny is not one of them. Still, the highlight of the Toss was Stephen’s “Sucka!” And the screen capture they chose above is just perfect.

If I might digress for a moment, I do want to give a little plug to Jon Stewart’s fantastic Glenn Beck parody from last night’s show. This is the type of comedy that Stephen normally excels at, but it’s never been Jon’s strong suit. Last night, though, he nailed it. Kudos, Mr. Stewart!
