Colbert Report

Stephen_colbert_1Update: Click here to watch. Looking forward to your reactions.

Don’t forget to tune-in (or set your Tivo) to the Colbert Report tomorrow night at 11:30PM on Comedy Central.

So, trusted readers and advisors, what in the world do you think he’ll ask me about – cities, the gay effect, flight of the creative class….?

Lets see who out there can get it right.

    Looking forward to the “debate”!

  2. Abby Says:

    I bet you’ll have to defend your decision to “desert” America and “flee” to Canada, or something to that effect… but I know you’ll do great! Have fun!

    One thing I’ve learned from my copious study at Colbert University is that you can never predict Stephen! But I’ll foolishly try. He’ll say (in character of course):

    “Now, you argue that the creative class is fleeing the US. Well, aren’t these just the pinko professors and the liberal elites who are bringing this country down with their whining and their ‘facts’? Who needs ‘em? Good riddance, I say! What’s the problem, Professor Brainiac?”

    You didn’t suck! Or get lambasted!! Nice work.

    You should have questioned his patriotism, and explicitly mentioned how the free market values homosexuality over heterosexuality. He can’t argue with Reagan-omics.

  5. Alex Morrison Says:

    Just happened to catch you on there. I figured the gay index angle couldn’t be too far from his mind. Good job, I’m glad you laughed enough to show that Colbert is not the bastard some people think he is. (Some people in GA think he is the real Republican deal)

  6. Rebecca Thorman Says:

    Great job! Interesting and funny. I thought you handled Colbert well! Congrats.

  7. Justin Quattlebaum Says:

    Good stuff. You handled Colbert as well as anybody I can remember — too bad it was only a 3 minute spot. Best of luck in Toronto.

  8. WordsWithGrace Says:

    Nice job, it looked like you both had fun!

  9. Robbo Says:

    Brilliant! Well spoken! Can’t wait for you to get here in Toronto and join the party. So glad to have you in our midst.

    Unfortunately, I think you both came across as frivolous, lightweights. Sorry….
