Category: Stephen Colbert

Not being a blogger devoted solely to following Stephen Colbert, I post Colbertish things when it’s convenient and/or I’m inspired. Neither is the case at the moment, but my FiOS DVR happened to catch Stephen’s appearance on Meet The Press today. One interesting revelation is that in a past incarnation Colbert apparently wanted to look like Elvis Costello.

I expected Colbert to interview himself to promote his new book, I Am America (And So Can You!). It appears to be “thin, yet meaty” as a college professor of mine used to say. I expect I’ll be picking up a copy.

Yes, I know that Stephen Colbert — his voice, anyway — was on the season premiere of The Simpsons. As with Colbert’s appearance on the Emmys, I didn’t watch it. Shameful, I know! Sorry.

Here’s a too-short bit of fun with Stephen Colbert and Tony Bennett, from Wednesday’s show. Hey, if Colbert does more of this, he could expand to an hour and offer a real alternative to Leno and Letterman!

Hey, did you see that Stephen Colbert is in this week’s normally conservative-to-milquetoast Parade magazine? It’s a good article. Don’t miss it.

By the way, I didn’t watch Colbert with Jon Stewart on the Emmys last week. I clean forget they were on! Sorry.
