Ugh, the snow and wind continue to swirl here in my neck of the woods (darn you, unnamed grocery store, for continually canceling my deliveries!), and I’m having weird flashbacks to my childhood in the Upper Midwest. In an attempt to keep my mind in the present, how about some updates on some of our [...]

EPISODE NUMBER: 6021 (February 8, 2010) GUESTS: Jonathan Safran Foer SEGMENTS: The WØRD: Faux ‘N’ Tell VIDEOS: Monday, February 8, 2010 There were two things I was really disappointed about in the Super Bowl this year.

Stephen Colbert on ‘Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’
February 9, 2010 By
Thanks for Katt for getting us these vids first thing in the morning! I’ve seen interviews of Stephen by many different people, and each time is a different experience. It almost seemed like Jimmy Fallon was using the Chris Farley Show method of interviewing. I won’t spoil it for you, but the end of Part [...]
Fantasy Colbert League: February 8-February 11

Another week begins, and we have another stellar guest line-up. My personal preference this week is Claire Danes, who I think is just a brilliant actress, but as always, I am excited for every show.

Klassic Kolbert: Olympic Fever
February 7, 2010 By
I’m ridiculously excited that the Olympics are almost upon us, as I’m sure many of you are, too. Speedskating (of course), snowboarding, slalom, figure skating, you name it. I may have to dig out the old VCR (yeah yeah yeah, no TiVo) so I can skip all the sentimental back-story hype, though. In anticipation of [...]
Stephen Colbert in the Zeitgeist – February 6, 2010
February 6, 2010 By
So is everybody excited about watching the Super Bowl tomorrow? Yeah, me neither. But hey, the Olympics are less than a week away, the speedskaters are all in Vancouver, and Stephen and Team Colbert should be up to their collective eyebrows in preparation for their own trip to Vancouver. I’m eager to see what kind [...]
Four Horsemen of the Apopcalypse – Pop culture references in The Colbert Report: February 1-4, 2010
February 6, 2010 By
Welcome to No Fact Zone’s weekly roundup of cultural references on The Colbert Report. From Darcy to Danger Mouse, String Theory to Shakespeare, we’ve got the keys to this week’s obscure, oddball, and occasionally obscene cultural shout-outs (hey!). Hey Zoners! How is it February already? Impossible! Still, I have it on good authority that we’ve [...]
Six Degrees: The I Can’t Believe it’s Already February Edition.
February 5, 2010 By
Am I the only one completely baffled by the fact that January has gone by in the blink of an eye and that we’re already steam rolling straight through February? February of course, can mean only one thing – Vancouver!! But while Stephen is off polishing his skates in preparation for the Winter Olympics his [...]
