Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was kind enough to post this little treat of a video featuring Stephen, Jimmy, and a cast of dozens rehearsing for last Friday’s “Friday” extravaganza. Fun fun fun fun!
Technical difficulties
April 13, 2011 By
You may have noticed that our posting frequency has been way down the last week or so, and that the template is a bit wonky. We’ve been working diligently behind the scenes to get everything cleaned up and functioning, and posting frequency should get back to normal here very soon, including episode guides and the normal news goodies you would expect from us. Thank you for your patience, and we’ll keep everyone updated!
Pop Culture References in The Colbert Report Apr 4-7, 2011
April 11, 2011 By
Cheerio Zoners! Another smashing week on the Report! It was great to catch a glimpse into British culture. I usually only get that from my favorite Brit Coms. I nearly broke a rib laughing during the tea segment! And how about James Franco? He really is living my dream. If I had the chance, I’d go back to school in a heartbeat! What were your favorite segments?
Fantasy Colbert League, April 11-14

Oh, what a week last week was! Despite having rehearsals for his Sondheim debut, Stephen put on some of his best shows ever, with James Franco and his brother Frank Jameso and the brilliant (and eye-candy filled) double dose of “My Fair Colbert: The Crown Jewels.” Handsomely dressed, with clotted cream dripping from his mouth, and afternoon tea on the table, he proved yet again that he’s a physical comedian with the best of them. (Verbal goes without saying.) And the ballet steps, those ballet steps!!!! A lovely ronde de jambe, danseur noble Colbert! The royal dance art for a royal segment. I toast to you with a cup of earl grey—hot. (Alert: geek reference!)

Stephen Colbert in the Zeitgeist: The ‘Company’ edition
April 10, 2011 By
The reviews are in! The star power that went into the New York Philharmonic’s production of ‘Company’ guaranteed that the press would have plenty to say about it, so I spent some time yesterday rounding up the most significant reviews. I’ve got quite a few of them piled up here, but the amount of praise going to Stephen for his Philharmonic debut is worth reading!

Review: Stephen Colbert in ‘Company’
April 9, 2011 By
Hey, Zoners, I hope I haven’t kept you waiting too long for a write-up of last night’s incredible show at Avery Fisher Hall. After a long day that ended with me getting home in the wee hours of the morning, I needed a full night’s sleep and a chance to think about last night to put it into the right perspective. The show was, in a word, amazing. Read on for the reasons why!
