Reposted on: 20.10.12 2301.37 | I caught the debut of "The Colbert Report" Monday night. I never watch "The Daily Show," and I don't know why- the few times I've seen it it's good, and I like Jon Stewart.
But I thought "The Colbert Report" was very funny.
I've watched it every night since then, and I think it's still pretty good. But no guest could top Stone Phillips.
Anybody else watch it? | Promote this thread! |             | Wolfram J. Paulovich

Reposted on: 21.10.12 0038.48 | I am, and I love it. I don't want some book-learning choked liberal manager type to read the news TO me. I want someone who will feel the news at me. Someone with gravitas. "The Word" has been a hearty chunk of quality humor for three straight days ("Tear me off a piece of that!" "That's how I roll!" and "CLAP, CLAP, CLAP").
Oh, and Lisa Loeb tonight was nothing short of outstanding. | It's False

Reposted on: 21.10.12 0105.17 | So far, the best part of this week was the fact that Bill O'Reilly basically made an ass of himself on "The Daily Show", referring to Colbert as "the French guy" and calling the French "our enemy" and later on, Colbert simply took it in stride and made a joke out of it. He's gonna be around for a long time and he's a great follow-up to Jon Stewart.
And maybe I'm a little biased because I love his work on Harvey Birdman. | Jaguar

Reposted on: 21.10.12 0110.54 | I've been wanting the Daily Show to be expanded to an hour (at least when they have decent guests and not Hollywood plugging movies) for a while now. This fits the bill and will probably stay fresh for much longer.

Reposted on: 21.10.12 1037.28 | | I've enjoyed the show so far (especially the Word, as JTL mentioned). I do wonder how much life the show is going to have, since it will be awful repetitive having Colbert playing the obnoxious rightwing character who accidentally points out the irony on every item.

Reposted on: 22.10.12 0113.38 | I'm a little concerned that the joke will get old. Stewart has his bias, but he's pretty good at giving it to both sides. This show on the other hand is just parodizing the right-wing blowhard. David Cross will likely recur as "Mr. Liberal Jewish College Professor", whatever the hell his name was.
I'm looking forward to the "Worthy Challenger" segment, when that kicks in. | Jaguar

Reposted on: 28.10.12 1158.34 | Unfortunatley, I've been busy the past two weeks, and have only seen a couple episodes. I was slightly dissapointed with the first one. But now that I've gotten used to the format, I'm REALLY enjoying it. The Word, as everyone else has said, is hilarious. And Colbert introducing his guest, and then running with his arms raised high while his guest sits in a yet-to-be-lit part of the studio is just gold.
As a side note, I've been enjoying the new reporter The Daily Show has gotten to fill in since they lost Colbert, James Jones (I believe that's his name). Dan Bakkydal (sp) was not really showing much to me, but Jones' story on "Commander in Chief" ranked up there with some of the funniest packages the show has ever done.

Apparently Jones & Samantha Bee are married. I remember Jones from one of the bazillion Comedy Network (Canada's Comedy Central) sketch comedy shows, specifically an awesome awesome sketch where Batman blackmailed Superman with gay photos in order to beat Superman in a tennis match (Batman also got Jimmy Olsen's head in the deal as well). | J.

All the correspondents are kinda cut from the same cloth. I do think that Helms is generally stupider and more obsequious than Colbert, though.
Did Rocca leave the show unexpectedly or something?
I'd rather have more Wiltfong than Bakkedahl, personally.
