Eye Candy: Stephen Colbert at Christ Child Society’s Great Gatsby Gala
Posted by: | CommentsSupport of worthy charities is a wonderful thing, and I couldn’t be happier about this man’s philanthropic efforts (see this Bisnow post for more).
But, if I’m being honest, I am posting this particular photo to acknowledge that Stephen Colbert is good at wearing clothes. Specifically, wearing the tuxedo. He’s quite good at that.
That is all.

EYE CANDY: Johnny Weir meets Stephen Colbert
Posted by: | CommentsI’d like all of you Zoners out there to give a big No Fact Zone welcome to our newest Completist, Gratefull! We are seriously excited to have her on the Completist team, and know she’s going to continue the proud NFZ tradition of being the best Stephen Colbert fan site on the net.
American audiences have really become enamored of Johnny Weir after his breathtaking performance at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Johnny Weir was teased by various late night types as being figure skating’s answer to Lady Gaga. Little did they know that Johnny knows Lady Gaga’s Mother and has attended concerts and surely, Lady Gaga is music’s answer to Johnny Weir.
We know that Weir is a fan of Stephen because Weir has tweeted about Stephen. Here Stephen (in episode #06026) teases Johnny that he is the most decorated of all Olympic champions – though in this picture, he is merely wearing business casual.
Due to the public play between these two during the Olympic games this year, we loved these pictures, originally featured on the NBC site with the meeting of Weir and Colbert, complete with Mountie hat/uniform. You can see the complete set at the US NBC Olympic page where they actually met in a dressing room in which Stephen was getting ready for a bit in full Mountie Regalia.

Stephen Colbert in the Zeitgeist – Vancouver Day 2 Edition
Posted by: | Comments
So as Stephen’s first day of filming in Canada closed yesterday, it seems like every media outlet known to man has decided to write a report about it. We’re going to do our best here to gather up the best of what’s out there so far.
- The LA Times has an article describing Stephen’s warm welcome in Vancouver: “‘This was a welcome we would not have imagined in our wildest dreams,’ Colbert said with rare sincerity. ‘I want to take back everything I ever said about Canada.’”
- ESPN asks whether Stephen Colbert would like to be run over by the Zamboni. His answer? “”I would like to try. I’d like to lie down in front of it to see if it could make me smooth. It would be dermabrasion and also lower the swelling at the same time. That would be great. That would be a very expensive spa procedure, to get viciously Zambonied.”
- The NBC Olympic page has some amazing eye candy of Stephen Colbert filming at the Richmond Olympic Oval yesterday, as well as the ‘Colbert Report’ taping in Creekside Park.
- Lest we forget, Canada has some media outlets as well. The Toronto Sun discusses Stephen’s role as Assistant Sports Psychologist for the 2010 U.S. Olympic Speedskating team. His visualization for the team is “Imagine that I have stuffed your suit with meat, and I have released wild dogs on the ice.”
- Thanks to the many Zoners who let me know that the Bob Costas interview with Stephen Colbert that aired late last night is available for viewing on the NBC Olympic page.
We’ve also got lots more news reports, YouTube videos and eye candy to post, and we’ll keep blogging as fast as we can. So stay tuned for the latest about Stephen Colbert in Vancouver!

Bob Costas rides the moose for Stephen Colbert
Posted by: | CommentsEarlier today, I briefly snorted with laughter when I saw a tweet that said “Colbert showed up in vancouver to 10X the crowd they had set up for… The crowd chanted until Bob Costas rode the giant moose.” There’s really nothing about the idea of Bob Costas riding a moose that isn’t funny (and I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before someone makes up an entry for “ride the moose” on UrbanDictionary.com).
So now my day is that much more wonderful, because now we have art:
I’ll put some more Eye Candy after the fold, but you should check out ShotinVancouver.com for the full set. (Note to the ShotinVancouver people, the name of the “Miracle on Ice” guest you were looking for is Mike Eruzione. He was our team captain in ‘80 when the US beat the Soviets.)

Stephen Colbert in the Zeitgeist – January 17, 2010
Posted by: | Comments
Greetings, Zoners! I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. It’s been very quiet out in the world of Colbert news; I don’t know if that’s because of what’s happening with those other late night guys, or if everyone has just decided to be lazy. But I do have a few items to share with you, so here’s your somewhat abbreviated zeitgeist for January 17th.
HD upgrade
- NEP Studios Upgrades Studios for Colbert Report and Daily Show to HD – EarthTimes.org: NEP Studios, the largest Studio Facility provider in Manhattan, did the studio upgrade for both TDS and TCR. This article discusses a bit about how that was done while the shows were still on air and taping in standard definition. It was a six-month process that ended with both shows making their debut in HD on January 4th.
Who’s “Honoring” Stephen Now
- Who’s honoring Stephen now: the Mormons – Salt Lake Tribune: The Mormon blog bycommonconsent.com named Stephen Colbert as its “Gentile of the Year,” the non-Mormon with the biggest impact — positive or negative — on Mormonism during 2009: “His coverage of the SLC Main Street Plaza ‘trespassing’ arrest of Derek Jones and Matt Aune, including a star turn by BYU law professor John Fee, reminded us all that sometimes truth can be stranger than fiction.”
Interviews
- Elliot in the Morning interview with Rick Nielsen [Audio]: Cheap Trick guitarist Rick Nielsen was recently interviewed on a Washington, D.C., morning radio show, and talks a little bit about creating the TCR theme song.
- Alicia Keys AOL Sessions – Careful Intelligence blog: In this excerpt from an interview for AOL Sessions, Alicia Keys gives her take on her appearance on the Report.
- AOL: You held your own in that hilarious skit with comedian Stephen Colbert. Would you ever consider doing more comedy?
- Alicia: I would love to do more comedy. It’s really fun and I am naturally a little silly anyway, so it’s natural for me… that is why I love those moments. Being on The Colbert Report, and just being able to sit there with him, and kinda challenge him, and for him to challenge me, we just had a chemistry like that. It’s very very fun, and most people said the funniest thing about the performance is that I didn’t crack a smile. I watched it back and I guess that did make it kinda funny. He’s crazy, so I definitely would like to do more of that.
Gratuitous name dropping
- National Pie Day is January 23 – Epicurious.com: “If any dessert deserves its own national holiday, I believe pie does. (And to paraphrase Stephen Colbert, there are much worse things to believe in.)”
Gratuitous eye candy
This is such a brief zeitgeist, let’s pretty it up a little. Why? Because I can.
