1. Those are a great selection but the pick up lines one was my favorite...

Gore has quite the wicked sense of humor now that he's relaxed a bit. I'd gladly vote for him again if he ran, although I'm pretty sure he won't.

2. I agree that he's aged just fine and he's just as sharp as ever

I'm glad to see he's making the rounds again - and this time he's much more relaxed, no pressure. I have trouble imagining the Gore of 2000 doing "pick up lines" on a late night show...

And I'd certainly vote for him again, too!

5. I'm a 90-min. bus ride from NYC. I'm thinking of it! I got a quick handshake a decade ago as he was

7. That definitely sounds doable!

I wish I was that close! And that is very cool, he really has found his calling and it's great that he's making the rounds. I was lucky enough to see President Clinton when he came to my little burg (NY-20) to campaign for Kirsten Gillibrand in 2006, but it was SRO and I didn't get that close. Though I have to say he's a charismatic speaker. Al Gore is now fulfilling his role of elder statesman, as well.

8. It was kind of a strange epsiode.

The guests were from earlier in the week, but the monologue was new.

Which is standard for Colbert: he tapes two shows on Thursday, with the latter being aired on Friday.

10. I admit I was confused at first - since the monologue was new, but the guests were not

And his monologue was not as up-to-the-minute as it's been for the rest of the week, so this makes sense. Thanks!
