The Truthiness: Behind the Scenes of the Colbert Report
Love Colbert? Then his special magic seen from behind the scenes won't disappoint. Recently airing its 400th episode with the main man about to accept a Peabody award, the “Colbert Bump” which many candidates seem to experience after appearing on the popular Colbert Report is becoming a mountain.
Lighten Up: Chris Matthews Hints at Senate Run on Colbert
Big, bad, tangerine Chris Matthews (though I was just looking at some old pictures of him — he looks thinner and younger than he did five years ago! Maybe TV news is the fountain of hot?) was on The Colbert Report last night, where he dodged the big nail down about a possible run for Sen. Arlen Specter's seat in 2010.
Lighten Up: John Edwards Is Back! Catch this Colbert?
Aw, heck! I missed this pretty little jokester! John Edwards, that ol' Son of a Millworker was back in top, shiny-haired form last night on The Colbert Report.
Meghan McCain and Stephen Colbert Have a Sex Talk
Meghan McCain went on The Colbert Report last night to talk sex and the Republican Party. She sounded optimistic about the party's future, saying she's a prosex, pro-life woman and a pro-gay-marriage Republican. Of course, Stephen asked her what incentive he would have to get married if can just gay-marry and "hang out with dudes" all the time.
Young People Say Stewart and Colbert Are Replacing News
Mainstream news outlets' long, insular nightmare that young people confuse fake news shows like The Daily Show and Colbert Report with real news may be coming true. Nearly one-third of people under 40 say satirical news shows are taking the place of traditional news.
Though Jon Stewart's interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer was called "serious journalism" in the White House press room, he's always rejected the idea of himself as a journalist.
US Aid to Africa Bad for Africa?
It's amazing the things you can learn from a comedy show. Last night, Stephen Colbert invited Dambisa Moyo, the author of Dead Aid, on his show to discuss US aid to Africa. She says the type of assistance that celebrities lobby for and rich countries provide isn't always good for the continent.
Cookie Monster on The Colbert Report
Stephen Colbert recently took Sesame Street's awesome Cookie Monster to task for abandoning his whole-hearted pro-cookie agenda. He now eats fruit — and cookies are just a sometime snack. WTF?!
Buzz-Worthy Video: Stephen Colbert in an Empire State of Mind
Last night Alicia Keys stopped by The Colbert Report, and naturally she and Colbert got to talking about "Empire State of Mind." Though Colbert deemed the tune the new "New York, New York," he did mention one caveat with the lyrics: not enough love for the suburbs. Rather than sit around and wait for Jay-Z to craft a followup, Colbert showed off a hilarious rendition of his own, giving props to Times Square, the Disney store, and commuting from Connecticut.
Teaching Needs Be Involve Edumacating, Not No Wizarding
Though indeed there is real teacher news today, including one Detroit-area educator who was found guilty of having sex with a former 15-year-old student — if that's the alternative, I prefer a little (Peabody-winning!) Colbert-ized report of one magical moment in the education of our nation's youth, thank you all the same. This real story, done up in all it's Report glory — well you won't believe your eyes.
This substitute teacher was somehow fired in connection with performing a magic trick, and bringing filthy wizardry and sorcery to the classroom by making a toothpick disappear.
