One Colbert Nation Under All?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, Daily Show, The, Gossip,
Daily Show fans got a surprise treat this week when Stephen Colbert rode in on a wagon pulled by Uncle Sam. This, on an episode already promising prestigious actress Meryl Streep. Colbert pulled out a bale of hay and kicked back to enjoy a brew he produced from within, accepting a huge round of applause from Comedy Central studio fans. It was Jon Stewart’s show that launched Colbert’s success, eventually leading to a spinoff and the birth of the Colbert Nation (the nickname given to Colbert fans). Colbert gave Stewart a note card containing questions he wanted asked, then surprised fans with his official announcement to officially consider whether – or not – he was going to run for the office of the President of the United States of America. Colbert added that he hoped to make the announcement of his decision on a more prestigious show. Fifteen minutes later, on The Colbert Report, he did.

Stephen Colbert’s Pocket Challenge
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Cable, Daily Show, The, Gossip,
Stephen Colbert, Comedy Central host and leader of the Colbert Nation, threw down the gauntlet to Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who is currently on the presidential campaign trail with something close to twenty other Joes (and one Jane). Kucinich has accepted, and will appear on the October 15 show to take part in Colbert’s pocket challenge. As part of the challenge, Kucinich will empty his pockets onstage before Colbert cameras. Will he get the famous “Colbert bump” for his appearance on the show?
Both The Colbert Report and The Daily Show have been getting big guests recently. Jon Stewart will interview several A-list celebs in his upcoming shows, right on the heels of a visit from Lynn Cheney, wife of Dick.
Entourage’s Kevin Dillon To Star in ‘300’ Spoof
Call it a humorous example of life imitating art. HBO star Kevin Dillon has just landed a big screen role in National Lampoon’s 301: The Legend of Awesomest Maximus Wallace Leonidas. The comedy will spoof a myriad of testosterone-laden movies including 300, Troy, Braveheart and Gladiator.
Fans of Entourage know that Dillon’s character (struggling actor Johnny Chase) rose to fame in the short-lived series, ‘Viking Quest’. (The tagline for the fake series being: “From the past… comes a warrior of the future.”) Now in 301, Dillon will get to add his special twist to the Spartan general role.
I’m really hoping the producers of Entourage can somehow find a way to tie in Dillon’s real life role into their show. The fans of Viking Quest would want them to do it for Johnny.

You’ve seen the TV show. You’ve checked out the web site. But you haven’t seen anything yet. The former Daily Show correspondent-turned mega-Comedy Central celebrity made the world laugh with witty observations and wholly invented words, Stephen Colbert is perhaps best known for his no-holds-barred approach to interviewing celebs, writers, and political candidates. Colbert’s book I Am America (And So Can You!) is set to hit the shelves this fall, and the Colbert Nation is anticipating the event. In an Entertainment Weekly interview, Stephen Colbert said that he embodies America – those who want to do the same can read the book. He also asked fans not to lend the book – heroes buy. Colbert said the book serves as a Constitution for the Colbert Nation, which is the appellation he has coined for his many, many fans. America as seen through the eyes of Colbert…are you ready, nation?
