Zoner Monica H. sent me this e-mail yesterday:
When I saw this, I instantly flashed to the classic Stephen/Steve/Jon “Daily Show” sketch “Pitch” where Jon’s character tried to make every idea for a TV show better by putting it “IN SPACE!”
Reality TV Goes To New Heights
Owner of the Virgin Cooperation, Sir Richard Branson, has just announced his newest project – a reality television series IN SPACE!
So glad that I’m not the only one who thinks of those two little words together and thinks of Jon, Stephen, and Steve. And for those of you who haven’t seen the sketch yet, please enjoy. (And you might want to watch the Temptation Pitch photo shoot as well)
In other space related news, NASA has named dropped Colbert on their Status report released today:
“The crewmembers worked out on a reduced (1-hr) physical exercise schedule on the CEVIS cycle ergometer (FE-6), ARED advanced resistive exerciser (FE-1), T2/COLBERT advanced treadmill (CDR, FE-5), and VELO bike ergometer with bungee cord load trainer (FE-4).
”
Now of course, it wasn’t anything special. However, I haven’t come across their press release being in google news mentioning the Colbert workouts. And now he’s been upgraded? to an advanced treadmill!

Adding “IN SPACE!” at the end of every sentence is like adding “…in bed” after every cookie fortune – it just sounds better. Plus, it’s never not funny.
This was such a good excuse to watch that Pitch clip again, and I thank you. Every time I see Stephen tackle Jon, I just crack up! :)
