Before we go, let’s check in with our good friend Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report…
Greetings and happy Friday, Zoners! I feel spoiled — two Tosses in two weeks! When is the last time we saw that?
Daily/Colbert – Stephen Watches Every Episode: Stephen’s favorite part of the show was the thing when Jon told those jokes about the news and stuff.
May I make a tiny confession? What with the Australian Open this week, and the State of the Union and ensuing analysis and commentary, I haven’t actually watched The Daily Show or The Colbert Report this week. As a result, this Toss made me feel a little guilty! I feel a little bit like Stephen — caught having to admit that I haven’t watched. I will catch up this weekend via Hulu (what did we do before the internet?). I’m sorry that I missed this great Toss, though — I just love the look on Stephen’s face when Jon asks “What was your favorite part?” and Stephen knows he’s caught. So busted!
I found this on Slate:
Could be a good 6 Degrees or news: Producers Jim Hoskinson, Mark McKenna, former producer Allison Silverman talk about the power dynamics of interviews on TCR in the context of the power dynamics of late-night in general:

The quality is a little better on the TCR website than on Hulu, I think, nerdygirl. I guess it just kinda depends on your bandwidth.

“Not even when I worked there.” :D

I love how Stephen blinks a couple times after “those jokes about the news and stuff.”
It was funny, I loved “not even when I worked there” too.

I always love the Tosses where Jon confronts Stephen about watching TDS – the look on Stephen’s face when Jon asked about his favorite part of the show was too funny! I’m guessing that the “not even when I worked there” line was ad-libbed; it seemed like Jon had an unexpected laugh after Stephen said it, it was great :P
