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! |

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? |

| 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!) |

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.)
