Fantasy Colbert League, May 16th – 19th

FCL Weekly

Greetings, Zoners!

I’m still feeling so joyful over our favorite PAC-man’s birthday antics. I think it’s the most brilliant combination of comic shenanigans and political exploits that I’ve ever witnessed; agitprop in action. When I think of what Stephen’s accomplished this year–the rally, the congressional testimony, this scintillating new adventure–I’m simply blown away.

Hello, Zoners!

I’m on vacation—but I would never miss my Fantasy League post! Fortunately, since I’m relaxing at my sister’s home, I have access to everything I need to write.

I hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to another week of wonderfulness. I had everything for this post written and ready to go, but with shock and surprise, only moments ago I scrapped my original greeting.

Welcome back after our week’s break! I hope everyone who celebrated either Passover and Easter had a happy holiday, with a liberating seder for the former and plenty of yummy chocolate eggs for the latter.

Fantasy Colbert League, April 11-14

Fantasy Colbert League

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!)

Hello, Everyone!

This has been a great week, with the creation of Stephen’s PAC (love the wickedly mischievous look when he asked whether anyone had ever been prosecuted for misusing funds) and an extra day of Colbertian hijinks with Jimmy Fallon. Wasn’t that awesome fun? And all done for the good of kids everywhere. All I can say is: More! More!

The upcoming shows look fantastic—and one person I very much wanted to see a few weeks ago, and who didn’t show up, is back on the schedule.

Welcome Zoners— I still have last night’s adventures on my mind, but we cannot ignore our guests, can we? There’s lots on Monday’s visitor, a friend of the show who’s one of my favorites–but this is a fascinating group, made up of a major medical scientist, the head of the Special Olympics, and…an explorer who [...]

Welcome back, everyone!

I hope Stephen is rested and ready to rock and roll after his week off. I’m certainly happy to have him back. Since I’m getting a special kick out of Jewish Stephen, I’m eager to see where he’ll go with this clever idea. Since Passover comes before Easter (well, it s the Last Supper, after all), Stephen will still be Jewish for the holiday. Does that mean he’ll stop eating bread with his bacon and eggs?

Welcome back to a new week of episodes—if “Anonymous” doesn’t take the show down with his nefarious hacking. Now that Stephen’s on his radar, who knows what will happen? We all saw the mark on Stephen’s face … Let’s meet our guests–some brave enough to come back for a second or fourth encounter–from the worlds of politics, journalism, music, and biology.

This week brings us three out of four guests who have appeared on TCR before, including one real friend of the show whose politics aren’t to my taste, but who I must admit makes a fun interview. Read on—and then let me know who you can’t wait to see.
