The Colbert Report: funny.
posted by RICK : 12:02 PM
So, did you check out the new "Daily Show" spinoff, "The Colbert Report"? No, well then you missed out on some quality funny, as it was: quality, funny. Maybe its because I'm a die-hard "Strangers With Candy" fan (movie out in 2 weeks!), but I almost prefer Steven Colbert to Jon Stewart-- he's better at playing the character of a fake newsman. Better than even Stone Phillips himself. Anyway, the show was terriffic, but did leave me wondering how in the world they'll make a 2nd episode. Or a third. Or really, another. It's kind of a one-joke show, but that one joke is so good you just can't let it sit there unutilized. The 11:30 timeslot is kind of a bitch, as you have to compete against the big-boys, but if anything that the network throws there will stick, my guess is it'll be Colbert.
