The ColberT ReporT
---
01-08: That was... big applause. And a long show.
---
01-09: Hahaha, using part of a script completed pre-strike?
---
01-10: I was wondering if the "Colbert mythos" would see any real additions without the writers, but I guess it can... sort of. "Gorlok" the space alien in a business suit originated in the pre-strike material used the previous night, but was brought up again tonight during the bit about Will Smith's Scientological turn.
---
01-11: National Treasure: Portrait of Stephen Good stuff.
---
01-14: The continuation of Portrait of Stephen is also good. Basically him riffing on notable American artifacts is good fun. Commenting on George Washington's clothes: "This is nice. This is Seinfeld's puffy shirt?"
---
01-15: The conclusion of Portrait of Stephen. He gets his portrait up at the National Portrait Gallery... next to the bathroom.
---
01-16: The Nevada primary pie chart roulette was great. Doesn't seem like they practiced it much before filming, considering the first attempt had the ball flying off ("I'm not sure, but I think this means Mike Gravel wins."), and the second spun on much longer than he seemed to be expecting. (Obama won.)
---
01-17: The Dobbs interview was good stuff. Sure, it was an old interview with half of it replaced with Stephen speaking his lines in Spanish, but having Esteban Colberto (of Colberto Reporto Gigante) doing the interviewing is a fun trick.
---
01-21: He called it! BaHillary Clinton won the Nevada primary.
---
01-22: Interesting. Tonight's guest, Andrew Young, negotiated a civil rights-related strike with Stephen's dad back in 1969.
---
01-23: Ahahaha, what a hugeass check. Also, that Corliss guy who wants to skydive without a parachute is a cool kind of crazy.
---
01-24: The guest: a man who wants to make poker a legitimately accepted way of teaching strategy.
---
01-28: My Writers Killed the President of the Mormon Church
---
01-29: Colbert made Huckabee. Conan made Colbert. But Jon Stewart made Conan! With dark hair! In leather! In age looong gone!
