EPISODE NUMBER: 6031 (March 3, 2010) GUESTS: Scheherazade Rehman, Garry Wills SEGMENTS: Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger VIDEOS: Wednesday, March 3, 2010 Any show that shows Stephen openly pouting, weeping, and talking about his obsession with Starbucks is a winner in my book. While I appreciate the comedy of the show, I [...]

Just as there’s been a wealth of Colbert goodness on [...]

March 3, 2010 By
Hey, y’all, I know Val usually does the honors on previewing guests, but I hope you all will forgive me for handling this one early because I’m just tickled pink over it. See, a couple of days ago, I noticed a tweet from Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, announcing that [...]

EPISODE NUMBER: 6030 (March 2, 2010) GUESTS: David Brooks SEGMENTS: The WØRD: Kid-Owe, Colbert Platinum VIDEOS: Tuesday, March 2, 2010 It’s the little details about the show that sometimes make me smile the hardest.

Coolest kids in science are on ‘The Daily Show’, ‘Colbert Report’
March 1, 2010 By
It should come as no surprise to fans of either show, but it looks like the mainstream press is waking up to the notion that the best places to catch scientific rock stars on TV are on The Daily Show or The Colbert Report. Some of my favorite guests have been science geeks (Brian Cox! [...]
