Catch the Colbert Report rerun at 8:30 p.m....It's a keeper

[Armstead]

The Colbert Report keeps getting better and better. I was kind of dubious at first, as it seemed like a one joke schtick. But it's getting more expansive as it goes along.

Last night's show -- today's rerun -- had several classics. An interview with Keith Olberman. 'Nuff said.

Also a rant against those awful unions, and Colbert's wistful longing for the good old days of Child Labor and the Company Store. Funny as hell.....And, unfortunately, not very exagerated from the actual thought process of the hard core Freepers and the Corporte Titans and their apologists.

Also not to be missed was an afterthought with Kareem Abdul Jabar. Very esoteric and funny as hell.

(One of the things I like about the show is that it does get esoteric, nd oblique in its humor. Not enough of that these days. Comedy that makes you think to get it. Wotta concept.)

1. The funniest shit I have yet seen on the Colbert Repot

was his Word of the day on the UAE ports deal. "My head says Bush is right...but my gut says Bush is wrong! He can't be right and wrong at the same time...or can he? Oh splendor! It all coheres!"

You gotta actually see it...I was dyin'.

C ya,

2. I love "The Word". Makes me LOL.

Anything that can make me LOL these days is good $hit. :D

9. that whole head/gut thing was so dead-on accurate for the port deal

that's EXACTLY why it's such a political screw up for shrub.

he's so consistenly a "gut" thinker at the expense of "head" thinking that when he does the reverse, it's a disaster.

3. At our house we say the same thing every night....

"This just keeps getting better, he hits it harder every show".

6. yep...it's the only reason I have cable anymore

have been trying to eliminate it, but those two shows (mostly Colbert lately, DS is slipping badly IMO) are about all that's on cable worth watching

everything else is insulting dreck, or anger inducing M$M 'news'

[VOX]

4. Thanks for the heads-up, Armstead! n/t

[im10ashus]

5. I will watch it.

I haven't been able to make it up past 11:00 p.m. the past week out of pure exhaustion from work. Thank GAWD they rerun it the next day.

8. It does keep getting better and better!

Last nights show is now "protected" on my DVR.

10. The only reason I miss expanded cable. I wish they'd offer mpgs

of the show for download. I'd buy!

[Armstead]

11. They do have video from the show at Comedy Central Website

20. I am greedy - I want the whole show, and I'd pay a subscription for it!

Just saying, in case anybody from the show is reading. ;)

13. I Think The Show Sucks and Last Night Was One Of The Worst

Really, I'm not kidding a bit. The guy is about as funny as a fart in church and he badgers guests non-stop with his mindless bullshit.

[godai]

14. Why do you watch?

[Beaverhausen]

15. You get that it's satire, right?

[Armstead]

16. Um, Badgering the guests is part of the joke

Any guest who goes on epecting a serious interview deserves what he/she gets.

[Cha]

17. Good to hear..cause I thought

it was kinda too schticky myself.

I just read today that it was Steven Colbert's voice on those "Attack Ads" at the Oscars!

[Armstead]

18. Any skit that goes from hip-hop to basketball to Thelonius Monk...

is all right with me.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

19. Al Franken's the guest tonight.
