TDS & TCR comments for 03/20/2008?
It doesn't look like too many people followed the bread crumbs from LJ - but if you're here and you wanna comment, go to!
(Though IJ's being quite robust right now .. what have we done??? D:) |
|
|
| 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. |

... ok, I give up. Just go read the last four pages of posts at nofactzone. :D
But make sure you at least watch these videos:
+ Stephen stumping in SC
+ Stephen talking to the press in SC (.... damn that's scary-slash-awesome!)
+ Steve Carell on Charlie Rose
SHOWS COME BACK TONIGHT in ... 8 minutes!
TDS: Michael Gerson, Bush speechwriter and Washington Post columnist
TCR: Richard Berman, crusader against the FDA |

| COLBERT FOR PRESIDENT 2008! |
[Oct. 18th, 2007|11:10 am] |
Well -- HE'S REALLY DOING IT!
If you need something to waste time on today, NoFactZone has two posts chock-full of links to articles about Colbert For President: here and here. And there is much more at their main page!
Also, set your TiVos and VCRs for Meet The Press this Sunday!
Finally, thedailyshow.com is expected to be LIVE in ONE HOUR - with COMPLETE video archives all the way back to 1999!
Wow, is it a great time to love fake news, or what? :D
So, tonight we've got Ben Affleck, Craig Newmark, and, uh, apparently ANDERSON COOPER .. so, "gentlemen: start your fanfiction!" (An imperative that the folks on LJ have well in hand!)
(I love this fandom so much. ♥!) |

| HAPPY IAA(ASCY!) DAY, HEROES! |

I AM AMERICA (AND SO CAN YOU!) has officially arrived!!
THERE IS AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE. YOU NEED TO GO THERE.
You can listen to Stephen on Fresh Air and All Things Considered (both podcasts hopefully available soon!) and watch him on Good Morning America (hopefully someone will post the rest of that interview on youtube!)!
Tonight on the Daily Show: Tiki Barber, former NFL
And on the Colbert Report: STEPHEN COLBERT!
.. ok, I'm gonna go READ MY BOOK NOW. |
|
|
| books are full of *facts.* |
[Oct. 8th, 2007|10:07 pm] |
So, I Am America (And So Can You!) has been out all weekend on audible.com and iTunes! The official release to bookstores everywhere is midnight tonight! Unfortunately, I haven't heard of any midnight release parties in my area (so sad), but I'll be making a beeline to Borders as soon as I get off work tomorrow!
In the meantime, audible.com has two more preview clips: Introduction and Hollywood Liberals
(omg, i can't wait.)
NoFactZone is all over the early reviews of I Am America (And So Can You!) Go check 'em out. (And hey, they hat-tipped me for this little nugget! *is special!*)
Here are a few of the awesomest links (mostly gleaned from NFZ, but hey):
Interview with another contributor to The Daily Show and Philosophy: Part 1, Part 2
One of my favorite multitalented cartoonist/blogger/musicians posts about the Matthews interview!
Stephen will be on:
- Fresh Air, tomorrow, 10/9, [times probably depend on your local station], NPR (I'm really looking forward to this one - the podcast should be up not long after it airs)
- Good Morning America tomorrow, October 9, 7 AM EDT, ABC
- The Colbert Report, 10/9, 11:30 PM EDT, Comedy Central
- The Late Show with David Lettermen Wednesday, 10/10, 11:30 PM EDT, CBS
- Larry King Live, 10/11, 9 PM EDT, CNN
Oh, and last but definitely not least: MY BLOODY AWESOME BIRTHDAY CAKE.
Anyway, so, on TDS tonight: Vincente Fox, former president of Mexico - and on TCR, short story writer and essayist George Saunders. Comment if you got 'em! |
|
|
| .... and so can you! |

![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) fake_news was featured on fandomdirectory today, so hello to any new members out there! Please feel free to post - as the userinfo says, anything and everything related at all to TDS or TCR is welcome here.
Today's links not to miss:
I Am America (And So Can You!) is available at MIDNIGHT TONIGHT from Audible.com and iTunes! (I can wait till Tuesday - I have a busy weekend planned, and I still appreciate the value of receiving a physical object in exchange for money. d-: But if you're less crochety than I, GO FORTH AND PURCHASE! FOR STEPHEN!)
There is also another audio preview!
NFZ has an interview with the editor of The Daily Show and Philosophy: Part 1 and Part 2
Demitri Martin is getting his own show - and Jon is a producer!
Tonight on TDS: Jack Goldsmith, author of The Terror Presidency
And on TCR: John Kao, an innovative CEO, and Dan Savage
Go forth and comment! |

| interview from HELL! |
[Oct. 3rd, 2007|10:10 pm] |
NFZ has the dirt, as always, on I Am America (And So Can You!): an awesome article, a preview, and an audiobook preview. Stephen's also go at least four guest appearances next week.
Seriously, everyone, read that blog.
Also, Stephen's 60 Minutes interview is featured on Yahoo! video. (lots and lots of flash, beware!) If you haven't seen it before, definitely take a look!
By the way, how much did the Daily Show rock last night? SO MUCH. I KNOW.
Tonight: Colbert has Jim Lovell on (awesome!), and TDS continues its run of TV newsmen and "newsmen" with Ted Koppel (perhaps also his giant head???) I hope Jon references last night - and his tribute to Koppel last weekend! |
|
|
| "I want to let everyone know that tonight is *black tie*." |
[Oct. 1st, 2007|10:33 pm] |
VIDEO and transcript of Jon's salute to Ted Koppel at the News and Documentary Emmys!
The Ambiguously Gay Duo rode again on SNL this week (voiced by Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell, of course) - part 1 is near the end of this clip and part 2 starts here.
Stephen will be on Letterman 10/10 - which is awesome, but will we have to choose between watching Stephen and watching Stephen?? (Not on 10/9, anyway! XD )
If you've never seen Stephen Colbert predict the future during Indecision 2000, you really must watch this clip - before YouTube takes it down.
But what's this? Viacom loves fanvids? .... I'll believe it when I see it, folks.
Annnnyway, tonight we've got Jack Cafferty from CNN's Situation Room on TDS, and Charlie Savage, a Pulitzer Prize-winning political journalist, on TCR. Comment here! |

Sorry for the lack of news and comments last night - I barely got back from class in time to watch the shows, much less post about them. They were awesome though, yes? (Childrens do learn! Wake up with an obelisk! XD )
Let me make it up to you:
EDIT: dammit, IJ, I thought you allowed embedding. LINK TO VIDEO OF WEDNESDAY'S DUET
*swoons*
Also, here is a Stephen article.
If you missed the Vanity Fair article, it's now entirely available online.
Oh, and let me just brag a little here: I'm going to see Stephen at GWU on 10/19! SO EXCITED.
And if you've got belated comments about last night's shows? Put 'em here. (If I haven't posted by 10:55, especially on Thursdays, please feel free to start without me!) |

And on TCR: Sam Waterston - for Unity08 (pick Stephen's running mate!), not Law & Order - AND - MR TONY BENNETT AND HIS BAND. (Oh, I hope Stephen sings. *whimper*)
It's been a slow fake news day. Comments go here!
(Does anyone else think this is actually a really good debate, just wrapping up on MSNBC?) |

| Colbert bump! |
[Sep. 24th, 2007|09:11 pm] |
Ok, more news posts it is! (Please vote if you haven't yet!)
Check out this Associated Press analysis of the Colbert Bump (flash video)! (Hat tip NFZ.)
If you went to an IAA(ASCY) release party dressed as your favorite Stephen, which would you pick? I'm leaning toward baseball!Stephen. Or Tek Jansen. :D
---------
TONIGHT:
On TDS: John Bowe, author of "Nobodies" (I've never heard of him. What a nobody! (hahahaha.))
On TCR: Tom Friedman, author "The World Is Flat" (Never heard of him, either, but it does look interesting.)
It's a bit early, I know, but let this be your comment post if you so desire! |

Yahoo has exclusive Rob Riggle video along with some other recent TDS clips! I hope this means Viacom is loosening up a bit ... (While you're there, do NOT miss the Paley Center videos under the Bonus Features tab - they're awesome.)

Um, hey! Let's get some action around here! (This is the first comm I've modded that hasn't been, well, more focused in theme, so bear with me, guys?) Please don't hesitate to post to this comm - posting is open, and as I've said, as long as it's vaguely on-topic, it'll be fine.
Let's start with a comment thread!
Comments for TDS and TCR for 8/21/2007 go here! You can introduce yourself, too, if you want - tell us what you love about TDS. (Feel free to stick around for the Keith Olbermann rerun at midnight, too, but I'll be asleep! *g*)
ETA: Thank you, ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) astoundingly and melannen, for not making me talk to myself all night! Same time tomorrow for more real!Iraq and the CLASH OF THE TITANS? |
