A tip o’ the Dog Rat toupee to tastewar for tipping me off to Stephen Colbert’s appearance in a production of Stephen Sondheim’s Company that’s showing in movie theaters starting today. I’ll see it tomorrow night at 7:30.
The cast includes the ubiquitous Neil Patrick Harris and Christina Hendricks from Mad Men. Harris was in Joss Whedon’s Internet mini-musical, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, and Hendricks had a recurring role in Whedon’s sci-fi TV series Firefly.
Ace and Gary go live action, in a big and wide way! Rated PG.
I would love to embed a couple of Stephen Colbert videos here, but Comedy Central’s embed tags are screwed up. In the past I’ve manually edited them to get the widescreen mode working or fix an incorrect ID number, where the wrong video was coming up, but now I’m getting nothing. Please fix this, Comedy Central.
Nobel Prize economist Joseph Stiglitz is ten years older than Paul Krugman, over whom Stiglitz had some influence. They’re like-minded, but as one would expect they don’t always agree on the details. In this month’s Vanity Fair, Stiglitz weighs in on the top 1% wealthiest among us Americans. Stephen Colbert had Stiglitz on his show shortly after the economic meltdown of 2008, when Krugman won his own Nobel.

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.
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.
