"The Colbert Report": Week of 9/8/14

[trow125]

Another all-dude lineup. BTW, if you also watch "The Daily Show," be aware that Monday's TDS will be a rerun (Jon is going to be promoting his film in Toronto) but TCR is brand-new.

 

9/8/14 JOHN LITHGOW - Film, “Love is Strange”
9/9/14 JASON SEGEL - Author, “Nightmares!”
9/10/14 HENRY KISSINGER - Author, “World Order”
9/11/14 LONN TAYLOR - Co-author, “The Star-Spangled Banner: The Making of an American Icon”

Lithgow! I bet that'll be some fun!

 

Kissinger: ugh. He's only good for judging a TCR shred-off.

[Victor the Crab]

Attention media. Nobody fucking caaaaaares about a figurehead couple from another hemisphere who have nothing in common with everyday people having a second child. That's why everybody hates your fucking guts.

 

FutureStephen should have been an ongoing character. Maybe we (me) can ask FutureStephen if Toronto FC will ever make the playoffs.

[M. Darcy]

Some of us do care about William and Kate having a second baby - me included. 

 

I was kind of hoping when they were talking about playing gay characters, Mr. Noblet would be mentioned.

Loved the whole segment on immigration. The cleverness of the writing and Stephen's performance never ceases to amaze me.

[Hanahope]

Spine spider!  Someone watched the fist couple seasons of Falling Skies.

[ABay]

Future Stephen should've been Future Esteban, in my opinion.

[Victor the Crab]

Gotta love Stephen's impatience over getting his hands on the latest Apple products. And the lengths he'll go to keep relevant with one.

[ABay]

Jason Segel is really annoying.

[peeayebee]

I didn't think so. I was actually kind of annoyed by Stephen, who seemed to be interrupting a lot. I know he does that sometimes. Unfortunately when it's a problem for me is when the guest keeps talking rather than yielding to Stephen.

[Brandi Maxxxx]

Today I learned Optimus Prime is a Republican.

[peeayebee]

It was fun seeing Stephen dance again to Lucky.

 

Loved the whole Trump segment, esp Trump Dump and the toilet paper bit.

Stephen's interviews are usually a highlight for me, but I thought they were both annoying.  I turned it off.  I have no idea who turned out to be most annoying.

[RA-Monty]

Jim Cornelison will be singing on the show tonight: [Link]

[Hanahope]

The Buy Partisan app sounds cool.  I've adjusted a few of my spending habits based on a company CEO/owner's advertised political affiliation/views.  Its the only way my voice can be heard with them, so I use it, certain places I won't eat or patronize.  Apparently  Kelloggs is smart, pretty across the board there.  And cool that it was developed by Stephen's cousin. 

 

Didn't know Kissinger was still alive.

[M. Darcy]

I really like the interview with Lonn Taylor - he really came prepared.  Heh, though I'm guessing there is not anything he doesn't know about the The Star-Spangled Banner. 

[attica]

Plus, he has that whole Wilford Brimley thing going on, which I'm sure is a delight to Stephen.

[StatMom]

I was surprised Stephen didn't join in on singing the Star Spangled Banner. It's his go-to impromptu song. Not that his voice would have meshed well with that guy's.
