Congrats to the US Speedskating Team! Go Colbert Nation! :)

BKAD had me in stitches especially with the chicken conversation.

I still find it exciting and amazing that the Colbert Nation is actually sponsoring an Olympic team.

Same here! I was so excited both at the racing results from the weekend, and at the news that we’ve raised $202,000 so far. Colbert Nation is MASSIVE.

I think that BKAD might have to go on the list of my favorites. It was amazingly silly. Rep. Castle was a very good sport about it. I also like his honesty in admitting that he was having second thoughts about doing it!

I was thinking the same thing (and I’ll probably end up linking to them in the Apopcalypse this week). Why the obsession with licking stuff, I’ll never know, but it does make me laugh!

I’m very proud that the Colbert Nation has already given so much money to the US Olympic speed skating team. I’m glad TCR is providing us with updates about our progress. I wasn’t able to donate much last week because I had a couple of unexpected expenses come up. I had been contemplating making a second donation after I got my November paycheck (I got paid today). Knowing that we still need to raise more money, motivates me to give a second time. I still find it exciting and amazing that the Colbert Nation is actually sponsoring an Olympic team. It was a brilliant idea!

My favorite thing about this episode was the whole discussion about licking things in the museum. It reminded me of some of the museum field pieces Stephen has done in the past. Those are always hilarious.

Loved the BKAD, but wasn’t this the one where we had previews of him skateboarding in the hallway? Hope they put it up on the CN site!

Did Mr. Castle even know what cockblocking means?

“You’re saying that the violently insane should not have guns? That’s what you’re saying. And you want to be elected as a Republican? Good luck with that.” “Thank you” *looks at camera* LoL

I just about LOST IT when he got to the part where he said “It doesn’t matter if I’m dying or my chicken is dying, we can’t visit each other in the hospital” LmAo Way to make a point about your relationships with chickens Colbert. Let’s just hope Sweetness didn’t hear that.

I also love that they showed Mr. Castle very strongly disagreeing with his own staff’s information. What a good sport.

LOVED Stephen’s tie last night. Just wanted to throw that out there. And his hair looked majestic :)
BKAD was so awesome last night! I would definitely rank it as one of my favorites – the bit about cockblocking Delaware was utterly HI-larious, although I’m a little weirded out that Stephen made me imagine him marrying a chicken HA.
I really enjoyed the interview last night as well. It’s always funny to see “Stephen” be blatantly suspicious and ignorant of art or anything that forces him to think outside of the norm lol.

Finally, HOLY CRAP! $202,000?!? I was cheering last night when Stephen said that’s how much Colbert Nation has donated. In SIX DAYS. Way to go, Nation! We rock!! I’m still waiting for them to market that US Speedskating/Colbert Report merchandise – I would rock a T-shirt for sure. :D

That was an awesome BKAD. I loved Stephen’s reaction when Castle said that yes, “I’m going to cockblock Delaware.” And the whole line of questioning about Stephen marrying a chicken was just hilarious.

And yay for the $202,000 for the skating team! Way to go, Nation!

I nearly fell off the chair when he said $202,000 in one week. Wow, Nation, we’re awesome!

And that BKAD was hysterical. “So you are going to cockblock Delaware.” I’m still giggling over that part.
