Fan site for Stephen Colbert and the Colbert Report
The News Tribune has a nice little write-up of Stephen’s most recent shows from Iraq, in which he interviewed two Washingtonians, CSM Grippe and Lt. Gen. Jacoby.

I’m feeling so proud of everyone involved with this week of shows: Stephen Colbert, the writers, the crew, all the past, present, and future(?) POTUSes and candidates, the USO, and – most of all – the officers and enlisted men of the MNF-Iraq. ‘Operation Iraqi Stephen’ was certainly successful at bringing attention back to Iraq [...]

Grippe SEGMENTS: Stephen Colbert’s fallback position – Thunderbirds, Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger VIDEOS: Thursday, June 11, 2009 Okay, kiddos, I think you all know that I have a severe aversion to regurgitation.

Ha ha! Oh, this is impressive; sounds like Sergeant First Class Demetrius Chantz, who appeared in those hysterical videos of Stephen at Basic Training, managed to keep his cool throughout most of the taping session. But Stephen got even him to break in the end — hee! From WIS 10: Ft. Jackson drill sergeant attempts [...]
Talk about being in the right place at the right time; Army Sgt. First Class Benari Poulten is a stand up comedian in New York in his civilian life, but he happened to be on deployment to Iraq when “Operation Stephen: Going Commando” came to town, setting him up to spend his day hanging out [...]
Ha! You know that footage of General Odierno and Stephen Colbert appearing to rehearse the big head shaving moment we saw before? Some people commented that they wished they could see more, and the MNC-I has obliged. From MNCIraq: “Stephen Colbert’s Premature Clipping” Tip of the hat to Roland!
I love it! The DVIDS site that posted the article I just blogged also included a bunch of videos of Stephen with the troops, from his arrival and taking pictures and signing autographs with the troops, to distributing care packages and yet more mingling with the troops, to B-roll from an actual taping. Here’s a [...]
Oooh, this one is both authored by and features lots of quotes from the troops (and Stephen) — excellent!

We know Stephen’s focus this week is quite rightly on making the troops laugh, but it’s rather nice to see that plenty of people are tuning in from home to see his Iraq broadcasts, too.

I was headed over to the website for the USO to see whether they had any new pics added to their gallery (they do), and I was amused to find myself redirected to this page on my way there (click the image to enlarge it): While I’m absolutely NOT going to hold it against them, [...]
