Stephen Colbert last night

[rwork]

He said he was going to do something he had never done before.Take unscripted questions from the audience.It was a great mocking of bush*.The first lady said she did'nt have a question, but she just wanted to tell him what a great job he was doing. After 3 questions one lady tryed to cut in with an unscripted question.He was stumped. Hilarious.

[Hissyspit]

1. It was good.

First responder from Stephen's audience was a soldier who said he was doing a great job, and then her question was something along the lines of 'shouldn't more people be asking you about what a great job you are doing?'

Next responder was an Iraqi Kurd.

11. That sounds funny as HELL. Did the audience laugh like loons?

[Inland]

2. You'll get moved, not LBN, but it sounds funny.

I love that character. He doesn't so much imitate O'rielly as perfect him.

[ps1074]

3. that is not LBN

eom

[LeftistGorilla]

4. I'm starting to really love this show....

a classic....


Truthiness...:rofl:

5. Colbert has re-energenized satire

This is a terrific show with some of sharpest writing seen in decades.
Colbert's take on self-absorbed, self-righteous pundits is laser sharp. Colbert's interview segments are priceless.

I was a little critical of the Daily Show some months back, but it seems that the double punch is benefitting both programs now. TDS has seemingly regained it's sting as well.

6. I am a big fan

unfortanately I missed last nights show. I'll have to try and catch it on rerun today.

[CatWoman]

7. what time is the rerun?

[pstans]

[ComerPerro]

8. That must have been hilarious

[applegrove]

10. Yeah and he answered that "unscripted" question with a "canned"

answer to the next question. And when the next "unscripted" question was asked - he was stumped. Cause he had already answered it.

Did that happen at Bush"s press conference? I didn't see the original Bush Q & A.

[Catchawave]

12. Colbert is very funny and smart......

and I'm impressed with the caliber of people who show up for interviews :loveya:

I'm starting to like him better than Jon and Keith ! Even with the poker lady last night, he was able to mention Bush's jaw-twitch when discussing reading "liar's faces".

Love his interviews with congressional district reps too !

And more, enjoy :hi:
