I was amused by this article on recent Colbert guest, Shepard Fairey. In addition to the popularity of the Obama Hope poster, what went unmentioned was that, like Stephen, his poster will be residing in the National Portrait Gallery! |

I don't know how many of you are familiar with Ask Palpatine, but the March 14th episode featured Stephen Colbert.
I'm not sure he quite has 'Stephen' down-pat, but I enjoyed it. |

| A Fake News showdown |
[Jan. 10th, 2008|01:58 pm] |
Interesting poll about the relative ratings of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report before and after the hiatus over on AfterElton.com. They speculate as to what accounts for the ratings weirdness, and also as to which show is gayer.
The poll wants to know which show you rely on more for your "fake news," or if you differentiate between the two in the first place. One commentor says that he considers them one long hour of fake news and not two shows at all.
I admit I'm more of a Daily Show fan. How about you? |

| Updates! |

| Shows to return Jan. 7 |
[Dec. 20th, 2007|11:22 pm] |
Info here.
What do all of you think of this? My feelings are terribly mixed.
But I'll be watching, at least on the first night. I want to see what they have to say .. and all, I know I don't have the willpower to keep the TV off for it.
Hmm. |

| We write, you wrong! |

The strike is still on, obviously.
First, watch this video.
Instead of linking to every single article, here are the blogs and other news sources you should follow if you're interested:
- Deadline Hollywood Daily
- LA Time Strike Blog
- Variety Strike Blog
- United Hollywood Strike Blog
- WGA's YouTube channel
- NoFactZone
- wga_supporters @ LJ
To help out:
- fans4writers.com - currently endorsed by most of the TDS/TCR online communities, and I'm gonna go out on a limb here and add "including this one"
- addresses and phone numbers of the networks: one, two, three (Remember, TDS and TCR are owned by Viacom)
- Also: don't watch the reruns that are being shown in Jon and Stephen's timeslots, and don't watch streaming video at thedailyshow.com. I know. It hurts.
Else:
- an op-ed by Steve Bodow, TDS writer
- Video by Rob Kutner, another TDS writer
- Comedy Central's plan for the timeslots (I know it sounds cool - but please, don't watch. I or another fan can hook you up with non-revenue-generating clips if you wantneed some; just ask.)
- Ed Helms, Eric Drysdale (Bobby), and Steve Carell
And now for something completely of the shiny:
- Stephen Colbert at the Glamour Awards! Video and pictures! |

| Fic: Improv 101 |
[Nov. 9th, 2007|10:45 pm] |
Let's change things up a little .. here's some fic. (x-posted to fakenews_fanfic.)
Strike update/link roundup to follow.
Title: Improv 101
Rating: PG, for cursing and blatant fanservice
Pairing: Jon/Stephen, close friendship??
Length: ~2700
Summary: The strike is on, but Jon still has to work.
Beta: lone_hobbit is AWESOME. So is melannen. Without their input, this would suck a lot more than it does. (Any remaining suckage is purely my own.) (smilesawakeyou gets honorable mention for contributing squee. <------ (yes, that's an endorsement, folks! *g*))
Author's Note: For everyone desperate for a fix of Jon and Stephen's shows ... here's an entire Daily Show episode that could have been!

| SIGH. |
[Nov. 1st, 2007|10:43 pm] |
The writer's strike is on, and .... well, spoiler. Combine those two? These next couple months could be a LOT less fun than I'd hoped. SIGH.
... I think I won't speculate about what might be on the shows tonight. *grabs wine, prepares to drown Stephen's sorrows*
DISCUSS, PLEASE.
Oh, and tonight's guests: Jerry Seinfeld and Walter Kirn. |
