Fan site for Stephen Colbert and the Colbert Report
Tonight! Furry hats and herd immunity; thunder snow apocalypse yet bullish on snowballs futures in hell, veggihard and buying rage in bulk; dazzling with bulls*&t, hiybbprqag (that’ll help the tongue) and that ain’t no pile of jack squat – that’s fair and balanced reporting.

Greetings, Zoners! It’s been kind of a quiet week with the show on break, but I’ve got some of the latest Colbert news items to help us get through the last few days before Stephen returns with new shows next week. Today we have some reaction to news about a couple of Stephen’s upcoming personal appearances, more info about the show’s return to Hulu, and an interesting if unlikely casting suggestion. Here’s your zeitgeist for Thursday, February 10th.
Did you know that the ‘Daily Show’ has a franchise in the Netherlands? Neither did we, until we saw this video of TDS:N host Jan Jaap van der Wal interviewing Jon Stewart at the TDS:TOS studios. You can check out more about the new show at the The Daily Show (Nederlandse Editie) official site.
Yes, Zoners, you read that right – Stephen Colbert will be performing in the Stephen Sondheim musical “Company” along with Neil Patrick Harris, Patti LuPone and Martha Plimpton.

Hey Zoners! Happy Early Spring! Hmm..although from the looks of the snow I’ve seen here in the south, I’m beginning to doubt the scientific accuracy of Punxatawney Phil’s predictions. One of my favorite segments was about Big Flats beer, because I worked in a pharmacy (I’ll leave you to guess where) for many years, so it made me laugh a little harder. Others (especially the interview with Sean Dorrance Kelly) really got my brain pumping – and nothing beats a good brain workout! What were some of your favorites?
Sunday salutations! And salutations to Christiane Aman-purr, furry friend of Bast. Happy Chinese New Year and happy melting snow! Here is All You Need To Know:
