If you missed Stephen's interview on Larry King last week - it was INCREDIBLE - you can catch it again tonight. It looks like the show will air at 9 PM ET on CNN, and then twice more in the wee hours of Monday. It doesn't seem to be up in its entirety on the internet (yet), and I'm not sure how complete the podcast will be, so do try to catch it tonight - you won't regret it, it was by far the best interview I've ever seen Stephen give.
There's also a link to a short clip here (NFZ), along with clips of the TWO tosses between Stephen and Anderson Cooper!
If you missed Stephen on Letterman, that clip is here (also NFZ!)
Stephen guest-writes Maureen Dowd's column in the NYT
Finally, my entry for the videobook.
That's about it - I mostly wanted to get in that plug for Larry King.
... who's finished reading I Am America (And So Can You!)? Any thoughts? |

| 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. |

[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! |

Today's links not to miss:
I Am America (And So Can You!) is available at MIDNIGHT TONIGHT from Audible.com and iTunes!

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! |

| Colbert bump! |

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! |

Happy September, fake news fans! We seem to be in the middle of a two-week hiatus ... anyone else going into withdrawal symptoms, or is it just me?
.. it's just me, isn't it. XD
In case you *are* in need of a fix, I've just posted a TDS/TCR fanmix to mixed_music. (The comm is flocked, but if you enjoy fanmixes, I encourage you to join!) You can also download the mix, unlocked, here at my LJ.
Some links:
Less than two days to bid on Stephen's cast!
Download three clips from "I Am America (And So Can You)" the Audiobook! (SO. PSYCHED.)
Dan Bakkedahl has a MySpace. And a new baby! Who knew? (There's a cute pic of Dan & Jon in his photo album.)
An observation:
The CC Insider notes that HBO will not be holding its Aspen Comedy Festival next year. I guess they know when they've peaked. XD
Anyway, enjoy the mix, enjoy the links, and those of you celebrating Labor Day, enjoy your long weekend! and post to the comm! *poke* |
