David Carr at the New York Times has this comment on the Stephen Colbert’s appearance yesterday on Meet The Press, which can be seen by clicking here, or scrolling down, depending on how you got here.

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.
