When I read that Ben & Jerry’s ice cream had given Jimmy Fallon his own flavor, I knew that Stephen Colbert wouldn’t let the threat to his Americone Dream go unchallenged.

The Colbermann Report
Obama’s SOTU speech is on TV, and every so often I turn off muting, but every time I do that I’m not too excited by what I hear. So, instead, I’m going to watch Stephen Colbert absorbing Keith Olbermann’s power, only to find it too much, even for him.

Peanuts and nut cases
The 1975-to-1976 volume of “The Complete Peanuts” has a thoughtful and sincere appreciation of Charles M. Schulz, in a foreword by cartoon comedy bad boy Robert Smigel. His “TV Funhouse” series began on “The Dana Carvey Show”, before moving to “Saturday Night Live”. Smigel’s outrageous parody of 70’s Saturday morning cartoons, “The Ambiguously Gay Duo”, features the voices of Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell, and Colbert also did some of the writing. This is the first episode, “It Takes Two To Tango”, from September 28, 1996. Watching this makes me wish Colbert would bring back Tek Jansen. Note: this is a PG-13 cartoon! It starts after a brief comic bit by Carell about a dedicated athlete.
The Colbert-Trudeau Report
Garry Trudeau was on the The Colbert Report Monday night, talking about the 40th anniversary of Doonesbury. Which makes me remember the 40th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, when I was in my first year of employment at the same place I am now, still working for the same people.

Trudeau says he hasn’t recycled any strips, and I guess that’s correct, but he has repeated many strips, of course. For most of the strip’s run the finished art has been rendered by Don Carlton.

Sanity over Fear?
NFW! Even after yesterday’s bomb scare, more attendees at the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear are voting for Jon Stewart than Stephen Colbert.
