We’ve heard several times since his return that taping The Colbert Report‘s Iraq episodes left a huge impression on Stephen. It’s not so surprising, when we consider all of his work supporting the troops before his visit and how patriotic he is (in the best sense of the word), and it was clear in watching [...]
Fantasy Colbert League: December 7-December 10
December 7, 2009 By
We are inching closer and closer to the Holidays, which for me means the end of the semester. Between all the wrapping up of school work, and preparing for finals, it is nice to have a little laughter every night. And I am happy I get my laughs from the show. So here is what [...]

Before we go, let’s check in with our good friend Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report… Greetings and salutations, fellow Zoners!

Stephen Colbert in the Zeitgeist – December 3, 2009
December 3, 2009 By
Greetings, gang! I was thinking, as I was getting the material for this post ready, that it feels like I haven’t done a zeitgeist post in ages. And then I realized… I haven’t done a zeitgeist post in ages. Last week was pretty quiet once the dust settled from Stephen’s trip to Lake Placid. This [...]

Thanks to MsWooster for putting together a very lovely fanvid with images from the “Colbert Christmas” special. And thanks to the lovely ladies over at the Fangirl Lair for bringing this to my attention. There’s no such thing as too much Colbert Christmas.
Dick move of the week: Shani Davis disses Stephen Colbert
December 3, 2009 By
As you all know, Stephen Colbert stepped in and with the royally cool offer to raise money and support for US Speedskating in its Olympic journey. As you may also know, there are a couple of skaters who skate for the US, but who aren’t supported by the US Speedskating organization. Sadly, one of those, [...]

Happily, the Recording Academy saw fit to nominate A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest [...]
