[GarySeven]

6. GREAT rip on O'Lielly

Got his hand gestures down and everything

[question everything]

72. Unfortunately, never watched O'Reily

so cannot comment on similarity. But the program was a riot.

Appreciate Stone Philips for playing along.

[FreedomAngel82]

81. If you want you can watch

clips of O'Reilly at http://www.crooksandliars.com

[AwakeAtLast]

73. It was a sight to behold.

I almost spit my Diet Coke across the room! This is possibly one of the best debuts of any show I have seen in a long time!

:hi:

[mshasta]

75. God will keep him safe...

yes he will......your husband will be ok..

[AwakeAtLast]

84. Thank you, I appreciate all good thoughts!

:hi:

[buddysmellgood]

7. No cable. Please have mercy. Describe a few bits.

[marmar]

8. What channel?

:pals:

[LSK]

17. Comedy Central - on after Daily Show!

[hang a left]

9. what station is it on?

[Tatiana]

10. Why did the chicken cross the road?

To start a global pandemic.

[Theres-a]

103. That was classic

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. "Anybody can read the news TO you. I'm going to FEEL the news AT you!"

"If you're not scared, I'm not doing my job." Reviewing the top 3 threats to America on the "Threat-Down."

[Teaser]

15. "feel the news"

"at you", wasnt it?

[buddysmellgood]

16. Damn. I would pay per view to watch this on my computer.

[LSK]

13. dont look it up in a book, look it up in your gut

This is awesome!

[Dudley_DUright]

14. Great parody of O'Reilly Factor

Outstanding!

[Hissyspit]

41. And Scarborough Country. n/t

[Hissyspit]

47. Hope this doesn't mean less "The Week In God."

on The Daily Show. I miss the 'bee-bee-boop-bop-bop-boop-beep...beep....boop.'

[Chovexani]

54. Don't worry

I heard Rob Corddry is doing TWIG now.

[Hissyspit]

61. I love Rob, but something about the way Stephen does it.

Something to do with his Catholic upbringing, maybe? (I don't know about Rob's.) Or maybe just the difference in their smarmy self-important TV reporter personae?

[FreedomAngel82]

82. Ah

Nobody beats Colbert though. :(

[Tatiana]

18. "American diapers are the strongest in the world."

Naming hurricanes starting with Greek letters is a threat to our American A B C's.

:rofl:

[MaggieSwanson]

25. "THESE diapers don't run!" n/t

[KittyWampus]

28. these diapers don't run LOL! he had a diaper from the american flag

[Tatiana]

"Just look at it soak up that urine!" LMFAO! n/t

[tallahasseedem]

19. I love his O'Reilly impression...

speaking of the douchebag he is on The Daily Show tomorrow.

[buddysmellgood]

23. Really? John called Tucker a dick. What's he going to call Bill?

[tallahasseedem]

29. Not sure....

Last time he was on he didn't really go there with him. Hopefully this time he will lay a little smackdown on him.

[AmericanDream]

92. Stewart said in an interview that O'reillly seems reasonable to him...

he said that O'reilly's problem was ego. "If you listen to him, his points are reasonable, they are just wrapped in a big bowl of ego."

[stanwyck]

109. Last time O'Reilly was on The Daily Show

Jon was very amiable. But O'Reilly tried so hard to get the audience on his side that is was painful...he reminded me of the boss on The Office. Squirmingly pathetic. O'Reilly kept telling pot jokes. Poor guy.

[Sydnie]

20. He is doing O'Reilly so well

He could just sit there and spew this stuff just like ole Bill! :rofl: It sounds like he has studied all the rightie talking heads and is mocking them to the nines!

[DS1]

22. He's got OReilly NAILED

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. Wants James Brady to come on his show and explain what his

problem is with guns. "If you won't come on my show you're a COWARD!" He's totally busting on DildO'Reilly. This is a riot. :rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

83. That was hilarious

LOL. And why he's now anti-gun with Reagan. I cracked up.

[Stand and Fight]

26. He's doing a damn good job!

He's obviously poking fun at the pompous jackasses like O'Rielly on Fox. This is great!

"What happened to Jim Brady? What got into him and made him such an anti-gun nut?... I've leveled some harsh accusations at you tonight, Mr. Brady. So, if you won't come on my show and answer them, you're a coward."

:rofl:

[IChing]

27. james brady....anti gun....fla laws

use to be a model republican what happened, you are too chicken to come on my show
and defend your anti gun thoughts.......:rofl: :rofl:

his wit is too fast and sharp....love it.

[Tatiana]

30. Stone Phillips

Colbert says he's a long-time admirer of his neck.

(OMG how can Stone sit there with a straight face???????)

Talks about Stone's reassuring "head wag" at the end of his sentences.

Now Stone is cracking up.

[notadmblnd]

33. Steven to Stone

Let me ask you something... couldn't wear a tie?

[tallahasseedem]

31. Holy crap....

this show is too damn funny.

[KittyWampus]

34. i'm literally CRYING i'm laughing so hard

:rofl:

[Dudley_DUright]

57. we need an unholy sexual congress of these two smilies

:rofl::cry:

to properly capture the "Cobert Report".

[Tatiana]

32. "Is Stone Phillips such a good interviewer that he could ask a question

that he himself couldn't answer?" Stone says that when he and Jane Pauley started Dateline in '92, they were borrowing Tom Brokaw's studio for 3 years.

"I've been in Brokaw's studio and it smells like a monkey cage."

[Dudley_DUright]

36. That was a brilliant interview

Stone was constantly cracking up laughing.

[IChing]

35. nominated by me...no I can't...i started the thread but it is must see tv

it rocked and 10 min. left......

[tallahasseedem]

37. Recommended ;)

[IChing]

38. grabutantes... saying nothing with meaning....great.

[KittyWampus]

46. he's going so fast you miss stuff.... reminds me to Robin Williams

[Tatiana]

39. Gravitas competition between Stone and Steven.

LMFAO!!!!!!! This is too funny!!!!!!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

42. Theatre of the absurd! This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!

Laughing too hard to SEE, let alone type... :rofl: :rofl:

[buddysmellgood]

45. Many thanks for the play by play. It's much easier to sit back and laugh

[IChing]

50. It was brillant, fast, and so witty....damn i am laughing so hard

Stone Phillips was such a joke as a reporter at one time.. a parody for comedians.

it took a lot of guts to show up .... great job stone...

[jayctravis]

49. "In the interest of full disclosure, this reporter has a similar piercing"

[Occulus]

90. oh he had that one down to a science

The glance and all. It was classic.

I've seen similar sketches on other shows before, but to see HIM participate... it was hysterical.

[NightHawk63]

40. Watching it as I DVR it.

I'm going to have to watch it again for the jokes I missed from laughing too loud.

[Tatiana]

43. Wow, Stone is pretty funny at this gravitas stuff! n/t

[susanna]

67. Stone was awesome, I'll give him that...

I saw a couple of "wanna laugh" moments out of him, but he contained it. Good man!

[Tatiana]

70. And he looked great!

Much better and more relaxed than he normally does on Dateline.

[susanna]

76. Yeah - you noticed that too?

It was really weird seeing him play this so well! :-)

[FreedomAngel82]

85. That would've been so hard to do for me

I would've bursted out laughing right than. I loved the peabody award moment too. LOL!

[LSK]

44. nominated

OMG this is great.

[NightHawk63]

48. It's a TIE!!!

[Tatiana]

51. Star Wars is an American classic.

Even though, as he understands it, Star Wars takes place in a galaxy far way.

We should claim all of its actors as Americans.... except the droids, Darth Vader, and Alec Guiness.

Chewbacca is an American.

[jayctravis]

52. "Unholy galactic sexual congress"

!!!

[tallahasseedem]

53. Outstanding!!!!

For those on the west coast, watch!!!

[Tatiana]

55. This is one of the funniest pieces of satire I have ever seen.

Dare I say it is even funnier than TDS????

[jayctravis]

I'm sure it's supposed to be.

I was surprised when he actually touched on real news and had a guest! I thought for a while he was doing a one-man show!

[jayctravis]

56. Never seen someone work a set like that...

I loved him standing in front of a portrait of him standing in front of a portrait.

I love that you can tell this is all the flashy special effects that they *could* do on the Daily Show but don't. Colbert holds the stage well.

His name on the sign, and shadowing up there so it looks like we put it twice, and on the sides, and on the plasma screen, and in chaserlights DOWN THERE...

And the whole desk is a C...

This was hysterical. I don't know if they can top the set antics...Stone Phillips didn't sit at the big desk, Colbert went to him at the "children's table" set.

I hope he does a Situation Room parody. Wolf Blitzer as the Wizard of Oz pulling levers and throwing switches...

[GreenPartyVoter]

58. Great start out of the gate. Hope they can keep that up for years. :^D

[Borgnine]

59. Watch out Jon.

The Colbert Report just may outshine its parent show.

I love, love, love how when he interviews a guest, he gets up and has all the attention focused on him, while he walks over to an intimate corner of the set with a fireplace. He really has O'Reilly down perfectly.

[jayctravis]

63. I think it was a plasma-screen fireplace!

[Fleshdancer]

60. I loved it

He totally ripped on O'Reilly and the interview with Stone Phillips was HILARIOUS!

[SupplyConcerns]

62. Please somebody put this online

TVs are hard to come by here at college. Guess I'll have to sacrifice and search one out!

[Todd B]

68. I'll put up a torrent or mpeg in a few minutes -

I'm just editing it now.

[liberalpragmatist]

78. Oooh, that would be much appreciated

Same situation as the guy above. College, limited TV access :(

[Todd B]

97. I didn't get a chance to rip it -

but it's up on TorrentSpy if you want to get it. Quite a bit of seeders, so you should be able to get it pretty fast too.

[SupplyConcerns]

99. Thanks alot! nt

[venable]

64. destined for greatness

and will have a real effect, like Stewart.

[highplainsdem]

71. Agreed. Brilliant show.

[Gloria]

65. Shit! On here at 12:30 AM here in MT....I wonder if it will rerun?

Comcast has the west coast feed so to spare the children Howard Stern...the lump E! with Comedy Central and a couple of other channels.
When it was on the east coast feed, we got TDS at 9 pm...now, it's a midnight!

WAY TOO LATE!

[Tatiana]

66. Background on show from the New Yorker:

Colbert’s sense of abandonment was limited by the fact that he was staying behind on West Fifty-fourth Street to develop his own fake-news program, “The Colbert Report,” which, starting in October, will air just after the fake news on “The Daily Show.” “It’ll be like O’Reilly segueing into Hannity, Hannity into Greta, Larry King into Aaron Brown,” he said. “I love that Aaron Brown, the way he sucks the flavor out of every word, and I love the way he mulls. No one mulls the news like Aaron Brown.” If “The Daily Show” is faux evening news, “The Colbert Report” will be faux Bill O’Reilly. “The focus will be me, lots of me,” Colbert said. “Occasionally, we’ll turn the camera elsewhere, but only for pacing.” And what sort of presence will “Stephen Colbert” have? “My ambition is to have Stone Phillips’s neck and Geraldo Rivera’s sense of mission.”

http://www.newyorker.com/talk/content/articles/050725ta_talk_remnick

:rofl:

[progressoid]

69. Love how he drops the "t" in Report

[Xavius]

74. Torrents?

Aw I missed it. Are there any torrents of this TV show up yet? I am dying to see :(

[0007]

105. It will be on this afternoon at 1:30 cst. and again at 7:00 pm

[fishwax]

77. I was pretty pleased with the first show, but

I wonder how well they'll be able to keep it fresh on a weekly basis. I'm hoping, though ...

[FreedomAngel82]

79. I love it!

I laughed my ass off! He was great! I loved the "Daily Show" as well.
:bounce: Hilarious. Dolly was sweet.

[Lubernaut]

86. I had high expectations.

They were easilly met. Great show. My kids loved it too!

[OhNoTheyDidNot]

87. Watched it tonight and was THRILLED ... another GREAT show!!!

There are so few!!!!!!

[LSK]

88. repeat starting now - watch it if you missed it

[lutefisk]

89. Will it be on in Canada? Couldn't find it. Damn!

The Comedy Network doesn't appear to be carrying it. They showed the usual Everybody Loves Raymond after The Daily Show tonight.

[Kurovski]

91. Yep. It's on now, West Coast., and It's a hit!

So far he's got O'Reilly's fake populism and very real egomania down pat.

The set has all that expensive busy crap piled everywhere, all the moving graphics. just like the real nutnews shows. It's great, kudos to the designers and producers for not skimping.

I busted out five times in the first three minutes. And I'm smiling like I'm heatin' a bowl. And really, I'm not. I'm kvelling. Colbert is making me giddy. He did it! They're on their way!

There's also some light-headedness leftover from Dolly's appearance on TDS. :-)

It's a great night!

[tishaLA]

93. Just amazing

I applauded, laughed, and cheered. J'aime beaucoup le Colbet Report!

[fujiyama]

94. Very funny show

He certainly holds his own quite well...

But I still like the interaction between him and Stewart on the Daily Show. I hope they keep that up as well.

[roguevalley]

95. Wasn't Stephen the one who peeled a banana while talking of

Prince Charles? I thought I would split a gut.

[SheepyMcSheepster]

98. yes that was him

:rofl:

[jayctravis]

112. That's the only time Colbert completely lost it and broke character...

cause he started laughing...and it was glorious to behold!

[jayctravis]

113. We have to cut some slack tonight, because second shows

are never as good. It would be pretty hard to top last night.

Jon also did a tremendously good show, artfully handing off to Mr C.

[REP]

96. Oh Yeah

I can't say it was better than I expected, because I expected brilliance.

[jsamuel]

100. kickedy for those who think DU didn't like it

[Beelzebud]

101. Watching the repeat. So far I love it!

[Theres-a]

102. Two thumbs up

[Beaverhausen]

104. I loved it. I laughed for a half hour straight

Stone Phillips was a real sport.

[AzDar]

106. Oh god...Watched it last night and LOVED it!!! The Stone Phillips

Gravitas Contest...Brilliant!
Keep it comin', Baby...

[holboz]

107. Great Show! Cobert also in Sesame St DVD (photo)

I shit you not, and it's a brand newrelease. I bought it for my daughter the other week. She wanted an Elmo's World DVD but Mommy just HAD to see Stephen Colbert playing the Letter Z. It's great. The letters A and Z are reporters on location in a shopping mall doing a report about the alphabet. The letter Z feels unappreciated and useless because he's not in many words.




I cracked up during the Colbert Report. So much like the right-wing talking head shows. I love the fact that when Stone Phillips came on that Stone had crappy lighting in the beginning whilst Stephen was brightly lit. LOL!

FINALLY Comedy Central has something decent on in the 10:30 pm time slot.

[Theres-a]

108. He was in an episode of

Law and Order:Criminal Intent once.He's a good actor,and I love his new show.

[roguevalley]

110. he's on Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law as the boss. he does a

lot of kick ass cartoon voice overs.

[Kolesar]

111. Colbert "Rapport"

At least that's how he pronounces it. I liked the beginning with all the over done USA/Eagles stuff. The show had a bit too much laugh-track stuff to carry the weak material, though. Well, good luck to them.
