#Colbert Report

Happy Valentine's Day from my ships to yours.

I enjoy Stephen Colbert's straight-man routine on CBS, don't get me wrong. But sometimes I miss the absolute bonkers that was The Colbert Report. The satire. The fake right-wing batshittery that most in the GOP today apparently treats as a training video. The way Bush White House staffers took him seriously enough to headline its 2005 press luncheon because they thought he'd be complimentary to Dubya, and didn't realize until the day of, their colossal fuckup.

This was a great Wheel of Fortune moment:

But I still think these Wheel of Fortune moments (from the SAME GUY, during the SAME EPISODE! 🤣) take the cake:

It's time for Beginnings, the podcast where writer and performer Andy Beckerman talks to the comedians, writers, filmmakers and musicians he admires about their earliest creative experiences and the numerous ways in which a creative life can unfold.

On today's episode, I talk to comedy writer Meredith Scardino. Originally from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Meredith first got into the business of show as an animator before landing her first writing job on Best Week Ever in 2004. This led to a series of gigs including Late Night with David Letterman, Human Giant and The Daily Show before she landed at The Colbert Report, which she wrote on for six years, netting a handful of Emmy Awards for her work. Meredith's streak continued writing for SNL, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, At Home with Amy Sedaris and Mr. Mayor before creating one of the best shows of the last decade Girls5eva, all three seasons of which are streaming now on Netflix!

Two still images of a cat on Stephen Colbert’s former show. The first shows Colbert looking at it, the second has a banner calling the cat Christianne Aman-purr, Colbert Report Middle East Expert.

Martin Freeman and Stephen Colbert talk about The Hobbit Lego figures I know, it's an oldie (04.12.2012). To me, Martin's humour always feels fresh, tho.

Also, Martin knows that it was a good one. 😁

Fuck Paramount. Seriously. I'm literally incoherent with anger right now.

[zenosanalytic]

The desire to present Republicans and their "concerns" as rational when the party and its policies are expressly and loudly ANTIRational, when they reject and vilify rationalism and empiricism and modernity and even Evidence at every turn, even to the point of calling for monarchy and dictatorship over democracy, is deeply baffling to me.

Like: this isn't even new Stephen Colbert lampooned their anti-facts Gut-Based worldview for nearly 10 years on one of the most consistently high-ratings late-night comedy shows in the US.
