My 12 year old son tapes this show and watches it after dinner. He laughs at the obvious humor and enjoys Stephen's character. I watch with him and sneak in a few mom questions, to gauge what he knows about culture, politics, and sex. How sneaky of me.
@theitemgirl: The Daily Show has a bigger audience than the Report, I'm pretty sure, so he's joking that if she got thinner, she'd get an upgrade in the kind of shows she got to go on.
@theitemgirl: Colbert's schtick is to make fun of ultra-conservative/misogynist/right wing/homophobic assholes by imitating them perfectly and taking their insane arguments to their logical conclusion.
@theitemgirl: Not if you've never watched the show before. The whole thing is predicated on understanding Stephen's character--which is a satire on the right-wing news talking heads. He pretends to be one to show how insane they really are.
I think he is the funniest man in the world, but that's just me.
God, and knowing what a family man he is makes my reproductive organs leap out of my body, split a cab to the airport, snatch some of those really cheap fares that airlines have now (they'd go as a tour group, natch), get up to NYC and head on over to Colbert's lap.
HE WAS JUST SO GREAT IN "STRANGERS WITH CANDY" and I love him love him love him.
@LaComtesse: Just friended you (at last) - the SwC quote pushed me over the edge. Do you ever want to sing that "I've been waiting at the table, at the table" cult song? I know i do.
@happysquid: Back at ya. And yes, I sing the Welcome Table song... incessantly. "Strangers With Candy" is a family affair over at Chez LaComtesse. Exhibit A...
I've been waiting for some sort of post where I could mention that I saw Wyatt Cenac on the L train this morning. Woo hoo!! Also, I too have a crush on Stephen Colbert.
@TipsyRussell: I hate being the one-upper (srs) but I saw Colbert on the 6 train a year or so ago. He's really, really tall and so pretty in person. He was wearing a trenchcoat, reading a paper, and oblivious to the fact that everyone on the train was looking at him and I wanted to jump him.
@hellodarling loves president obama!!!: You can't see me, but I'm giving you the bitch face because I'm jealous. :) I asked for I Am America and So Can You For Christmas and my former Serious Journalist cousin was like, "He's an idiot. I was flipping through this and I was like, 'If he can get a book deal, I need to get my manuscript done.' "*
I spent the rest of Christmas morning reading excerpts while the rest of the room laughed and she rolled her eyes. My crush on him was permanently sealed after reading that book.
*She's really not as bad as she comes across in my anecdotes. She just has SDD- Sarcasm Deficiency Disorder. :)

Strangers with Candy - some of the best lines are from Chuck Noblet AKA Colbert
lines like - "Slim retorts come from Slim Hips, Jerri!"
"THIS ONION RING CAN NEVER BE GOLDEN BROWN AGAIN!"
"I have the metabolism of a hummingbird. I can eat an entire cheesecake at 2 AM and never gain an ounce."

I loved him on Strangers with Candy, and one of my phrases to live by is "You can't un-fry things".
It's heartbreakingly true. You CAN'T un-fry things. :(
