Fan site for Stephen Colbert and the Colbert Report
Thanks to my sweet husband Dan, who sent me this link to this funny remix of Jon Stewart’s final statement at the Rally To Restore Sanity And/Or Fear, done by the Auto Tune The News group. Nice trick, that, actually making Jon sing in tune. (I kid.) The video’s already gotten over a quarter million views, and looks to be a the makings of a huge viral hit.
After the final notes were played on the National Mall, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert went to the National Press Club to face the media, one of the biggest antagonists during the Rally to Restore Sanity. From the constant stream of “What will the political ramifications be for the Democrats?” coverage to the groups trying to opt the rally for their own political cause, the focus on the rally was viewed by many to have a decidedly political view. However, with Jon’s last statement at the rally, he all but nullified any question that this rally was about nothing but letting the politicians and media know that people are tired of the fear, of the insanity, of the extremism of the 24-hour news cycle and political process. And the press was given one last opportunity to ask Jon and Stephen to clarify their message for the rally.
The only problem is that it seemed that even with all that Jon had said and done during the rally, the press was bound and determined to draw some kind of political agenda out of Stewart. Jon, of course, was having none of that.
Oh yes. That just happened. Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Jon Stewart, and Tay Zonday just sang about everything that was fabulous about just a smidge too far back to be relevant in pop culture. So let’s talk about it all! The dancing! The singing! The epaulets! The dancing! The mustaches! The dancing! Sweet baby JESUS that was adorkable. Click through to sing along with all of the lyrics to “Everyone’s Talking ‘Bout Sully”!
Don’t forget – tomorrow night, October 21st at 9p/8c is this year’s ‘Night Of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Concert for Autism Education’. You can get a jump on supporting the cause by bidding on an autographed March To Keep Fear Alive poster, Stephen Colbert Signed Declaration of Independence, and the item I would bid on if I had the funds, Stephen Colbert’s Autographed Pilots Hat from the musical number featuring Stephen, Jon Stewart and Steve Carell. (Oh, and Jon’s hat is up for auction, too.) While we wait patiently for the unveiling of the epic Sully-themed musical number, you can enjoy another one of the highlights of the evening, featuring Steve Carell.
Here’s a new wrinkle to the Rally to Restore Sanity and March to Keep Fear Alive events: NPR has sent a reminder to certain of its divisions noting that they will not be allowed to attend unless they’re covering the rallies.
Well, we said before that Arianna Huffington’s offer to provide buses to the rallies was an incredibly generous gesture. Now that we’re seeing the cost of this offer, it’s even more staggering.
The Wrap has the story, and it looks like Arianna’s offer was as much of a surprise to her HuffPo cohorts as it was to delighted New Yorkers.
Zoner Karenatasha was at the 92nd Street Y event with Jon Stewart on September 29, 2010. While the audio for the ‘Fresh Air’ interview did become available online, the edits left quite a bit of the interview out, specifically some very interesting points that Jon made about Stephen Colbert. Karenatasha’s report fills in some of those gaps, and gives a first person perspective of the event.
This weekend, we featured a plethora of mysterious and funny pictures from the ‘Night of Too Many Stars’ charity event, featuring Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell and Jon Stewart in what looked to be an aviation-themed musical number. Details have now emerged as to what exactly that musical number was all about, courtesy of the New York Daily News.
In his first appearance since Rick Sanchez was fired from CNN for his anti-semetic and race baiting remarks, Jon Stewart took the opportunity to address the issue.
