Colbert Report Episode guideEPISODE NUMBER: 6036 (March 11, 2010)
GUESTS: David Aaronovitch
SEGMENTS: Monkey on the Lam
VIDEOS: Thursday, March 11, 2010

All of a sudden I’m craving a Ham and Cheese omelet and I don’t know why. I really enjoyed the interview with Scott Rasmussen and the discussion of how pundits take polls and churn them into the Circle of Meat. It’s the reporting analyst in me, I’m sure. The T-Pain singing was amusing, as always, and I enjoyed how Stephen tied the polling issue into a discussion about what those polls mean in regards to the health care bill being passed.

It’s been so very long since we had a Monkey on the Lam. But to have a drug addict monkey on the lam in drag made the wait worthwhile.

When I don’t quote any of the interview in the guide, it usually means one of three things. First, I slept late and just don’t have time to even watch the interview. Second, it bores me so much I totally tune out. Or, like in this case, #3, I’m enjoying it so much that I forget to type anything. I believe I’ve mentioned that I live about 10 blocks away from the Grassy Knoll here in Dallas, so it’s pretty much a requirement for me to be an aficionado of conspiracy theories. I love to read about them, hear about them, and see what other people actually believe about some of the biggest conspiracy theories out there. I like the concept that conspiracy theories are there to simplify what is often a very complex truth. I also love “Stephen’s” knowledge of some Weekly World News-style theories, like the Cuban Freemason mafia killed JFK so that they wouldn’t discover that Marilyn Monroe was Castro in drag. This, of course, made me think of the wonderful JFK story in “Strangers With Candy” and how Noblet said that Monroe gave JFK a case of syphilis so bad it blew the back of his head off.

Go ahead and take this non-scientific poll, and let us know what you thought about the show in the comments!

Stephen Colbert and a ham dressed up to be Karl Rove

  • Hey Karl, are you feeling all right? Your eyes look a little glazed.
  • It’s just like Pride and Prejudice, but even more prejudice.
  • I’m telling you, this is a gripping who didn’t done it.
  • This, in the biz, is called the Circle of Meat.
  • I wanna buy you a drank. This is harder than it looks.
  • Wow. Those numbers suggest that in terms of it being, health very much is. And only a very small percentage believe it not in terms of isness.
  • Are those donut holes of idiocy in all polls?
  • I love animals. They are the most important part of my favorite sandwiches.
  • I’ll just have to add that to my list of reasons never go to Florida, right behind Parrotheads, cockroaches the size of your car, and the rhythm is gonna get me.
  • Oh my God. He might not be a monkey at all. They may be hunting Iggy Pop.
  • It won’t be long before this junkie money starts turning tricks for drug money. Don’t fall for this, guys. I’ve been burned before.
  • Remember, Robert Pattinson also throws his feces.
  • I don’t care that you just found a stash of Tommy guns, leave me alone!
