The Colbert Report

[TheOtherAndrew]

As you can guess by the avatar, I'm a big Daily Show nut. Who thinks Stephen Colbert's show is gonna be any good?

[angryandconfusd]

Its probably gonna be better than most traditional after-the-daily show shows. Colbert is awesome and deserves it.

[niveK]

I was hoping it would air fri-sat-sun, that way i could be up on the day late news 7 days a week. At worst i think this show will be a jon stewart less extention of the daily show. which is fine by me.

Slightly off topic, does anyone else wish they would are much older episodes or maybe do a best of dvd every year? there are tons of old stuff i love and wish i could watch it again.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Its probably gonna be better than most traditional after-the-daily show shows. Colbert is awesome and deserves it.Probably. Ever since Tough Crowd, there really haven't been any good shows to compliment the Daily Show. This one might, only since it's made by the same people.


Slightly off topic, does anyone else wish they would are much older episodes or maybe do a best of dvd every year? there are tons of old stuff i love and wish i could watch it again.Yeah, that would be awesome. I'd love to see some older episodes. Especially from the 2000 elections. I hear that stuff was really good.

[niveK]

Probably. Ever since Tough Crowd, there really haven't been any good shows to compliment the Daily Show. This one might, only since it's made by the same people.

I was just talking with my parents about this show last week and how we wished it was still on. It wasnt the best show, but it was good to follow up daily show and every once in a while there was a great comedian on it.

[TheOtherAndrew]

I know. I thought Greg Giraldo was great on it. Even though Colin's terrible at speaking, alot of it was pretty funny.

[I am all talk]

I really loved tough crowd. Huge mistake for comedy central to axe it. Possibly besides Mind of Mencia, they haven't even came close to adding a decent show since.

[A picasso blue]

no one here likes Drawn Together?


anyway it looks funny but i hope they can make it different from the daily show to maintain interest

nope

no one here likes Drawn Together?

no, i didn't like the poop jokes.

[DeadCityScars]

drawn together sucks.

Idk about this show. I guess i'll have to watch and see. I think I like Rob Cordry better than stephen.

[selftitled85]

haha i like drawn together

i think indecision 2004 trumps the 2000 one. but its good nonetheless.

hopefully the colbert report will be amazing. is he still doing the daily show or no?

[Crocodile Logic]

it's french, bitch.

[UndertheTELE]

i can't WAIT to see the Colbert Report, i think that guy is so funny, and by far the funniest "reporter" on the daily show.

Does anyone else think that newer guy isn't funny at all?

[niveK]

no one here likes Drawn Together?


anyway it looks funny but i hope they can make it different from the daily show to maintain interest
I cant wait for the next season.

/I hope they renew Stella

Colbert is kinda smug, which would make him a great asshole host.

/anytone else exicted for the strangers with candy movie?

[TheOtherAndrew]

Does anyone else think that newer guy isn't funny at all? Well there were like 3 new guys, and no, I didn't care for any of them. I wish Steve Carell was still doing the show. But of course then we wouldn't have 40 Year Old Virgin. :thumbup:


I hope they renew Stella Most underappreciated show of the year?

[seconds]

I haven't seen any threads on this one yet, so what do you all think?
I have been really loving it, and I think it's a great follow up for The Daily Show.

[MLLMillenium]

Great show, I hope he will still be on the daily show though...

Im watching it now, and im not sure if i like it or not.

[theROUSE]

Im watching it now, and im not sure if i like it or not.
i liked 'the word'

[TheOtherAndrew]

I think Stephen's hilarious, definitley the funniest correspondent from the Daily Show. The first 2 episodes were great.

[Troy will Fall]

I really like watching "The Word". That segment made me love this show.

[TheOtherAndrew]

The word is: truthiness.

[TJ.Wells]

I think the show kinda sucks, except for the interviews...that's the only reason I still watch it.

[The Revisionist]

It is a good show to be on after it. I hope they dont keep making jokes about his ego, thats getting old already after 2 episodes.Have you watched any of those O'Reilly-type shows? That's what they're all about, of course they are going to focus on that.

This show is great, and has already made up for what the Daily Show has lacked for quite a while.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Have you watched any of those O'Reilly-type shows? That's what they're all about, of course they are going to focus on that.I thought it was hilarious when O'Reilly went on The Daily Show and he kept calling Colbert "that french guy who makes fun of me."

I wish they would release the Daily Show on DVD, but that'll never happen.

[sweethypocrisy]

i love both though.

It's true.
Blasphemy.

Only because Colbert is so witty.

[vandalsandquinn]

[theOCEANFLOOR]

did anyone see when colbert was interviewing that video game guy? that was hysterical.

[catscradle]

there's nothing better than when Colbert interviews the former presidents.

[fedhed7]

No wayyy

Colbert is funnier, but Stewart is just better in general.

[AShannon04]

hmm, I think Stewart is wayyy better

[mht]

without stewart there wouldnt be a colbert.

but like anything, something always comes along thats better, stewart had the throne for awhile though, he passed it on to a funny guy though.

[jusscali]

i like stewart, colbert bothers me.

[histrionics22]

Colbert is funnier.

[niveK]

True.
I wish they would release the Daily Show on DVD, but that'll never happen.

They did release the election stuff which is pretty good. I wish they would do best of every once in a while or show reruns from years ago.

[A picasso blue]

Stewart has good episodes

but Colbert is funny more often than Jon

[A picasso blue]

if someone finds me a picture of Colbert wih his "black friend Alan" i will **** your ****

[quote unquote]

Passing the torch, but Stewart's still #1.

Blasphemy, Stewart is the reason Colbert is even around.

Blasphemy, Stewart is the reason Colbert is even around.

This doesn't mean anything, at all. Even if Stewart opened the door, Colbert walked right through it and build another one.

hahahahahahah not even close. plus, stewarts one of the main producers of the colbert report.

Producers do nothing, haha.

I cried with laughter. Haha.

[Jess7286]

Laryssa, you're wrong.

Sorry dear.

Besides, I'm sure without the O'Reilly Factor and Hannity and Colmes these shows would not exist.

[FreshyFresh23]

[lightcollapse]

i love both, i've gotta say.

[ArTkY_]

Colbert ruins his fucking interviews. It pisses me off.

[Troy will Fall]

It's true.

i agree

[NGame]

Daily Show, while still funny is losing it's edge. Colbert is much more comedy-geared. John is.. well, becoming too mainstream? Hmm.

[fluke182]

It's true.
The Colbert Report is better than the Daily Show ever has been. Long live Colbert and his gloriousness.

[FreshyFresh23]

Colbert delivers it better, but Stewart is the mastermind.


That is actually wholly untrue...

Stewart doesnt contribute to the writing whereas Colbert won multiple Emmys for his writing on The Daily Show during his tenure there.

[gilatron5000]

Jon Stewart is better for one reason.

Stewart reports absurdity. Colbert IS absurdity. Eventually, the public will eventually get tired of Colbert's character.

[TheTrooth]

Eventually, the public will eventually get tired of Colbert's character.

exactly. colbert is a novelty. stewart is forever

[cahrishurr]

colbert is better, even if he is a novelty..hes still makes me laugh more as of now

[seconds]

Eh, I would go with Stewart. I think of it in terms like.. who would I rather see as the president? John Stewart because Colbert's character would make for a horrible president.

[Kif]

Stewart really annoys me now I've started watching Colbert. Colbert's character is just truely a brilliant piece of comedy. Throw in things like The Word and The DaColbert Report, and some good guests and you have a show that is just amazing comedy.

The Daily Show relies too much on whacky humour that makes little sense, while Colbert is just in love with himself and delivers on most of his punchlines.

[x togepi x]

I don't know if it's fair to compare them right now since the daily show is kind of in a weird transition period where they're trying out a lot of new correspondants, where the colbert report has its shit together.

[livethesounds]

Colbert is halarious, but sometimes tries a little too hard to be funny. Stewart is just...Stewart and dosent really seem to care, i like how he can make fun of himself, plus that show actually talksa bout the news. Stewart>Colbert.

This thread makes me so fucking angry. Colbert is so forced. He lacks he natural, personal charm that Stewart has. Colbert just tries wayyyy too hard and it's not funny half the time. If you don't "get" Jon Stewart's humor then you're either a) dumb or b) no fun. If you like spoon-fed drivel then I can see why somebody might like Colbert more, but anybody with good taste in comedy should appreciate Stewart way more.

i honestly like both of them, but "The Word" is what sets Colbert higher for me. Those tend to be hilarious, even if nothing else is.

But Jon Stewart wrote America: The Book, so that might change things is taken into account.

[DeadCityScars]

Colbert's comedy could be forced, but it isn't. He handles it well. And his show gives him more freedom to do funnier bits. On the Daily Show, the only funny bits to me are the opening news and the mock news exclusives they put on from time to time. The interviews are bland & boring and the video feeds are rarely funny. The new Jon Stuart sounds forced. Like the attention to his show is starting to get to him a little bit.

But I like both. Just Colbert, more.

Stewart's lost his edge.


the recent episodes havent been funny at all. Both shows have repeating gags, of course, but The Daily Show's gags are annoying now. Everytime they have a correspondent, they mention the word balls or penis around 5 times. and then a lot of other jokes just fall flat, like the photoshopped pictures. Stewart was awesome during the 2004 Election but right now he's not trying.

Colbert is a much better character. I prefer his deadpan-serious style to Stewart


anyway The Daily Show needs Demitri Martin to be a fulltime castmember to liven up the show

[A picasso blue]

also, Colbert has much better guests. sometimes Stewart has lame comedians, like Marlon Wayans promoting Little Man or Paul Giamatti. But Colbert's guests are never dumb comedians or songwriters who pretend to care about politics. theyre always senators, congressmen, newsanchors, authors, and philosophers.

[Scott Weber]

The Daily Show was so much better than the colbert report for like 7 years, I refuse to say Colbert > Stewart.

its just a comedy tv show, its nothing to get worked up about

i enjoy both guys, but honestly colbert makes me laugh more consistently than stewart does
stewarts comedy really doesnt take much thought either, its pretty straightforward in my opinion

[StandMyBrothers]

Its pretty sweet having the Daily Show on at 1 AM and then the Colbert Report right after though.

[Anton Djamoos]

Currently, the Colbert Report is funnier than the Daily Show.

[Scott Weber]

I still disagree.

[Anton Djamoos]

I still disagree.
Stewart doesn't seem to be as into it as he used to. Colbert is always brimming with enthusiasm and the fact that he acts like a complete asshole most of the time is hilarious, such as how he introduces a guest. Normally, the guest gets a nice applause when they walk to the desk, but Colbert has them blandly sitting at a table on the other side of the stage and Colbert hams up the applause like it's for him. It's the simple comedic elements like this that The Daily Show can't really do that has started pushing the Colbert Report over the top for me.

[gilatron5000]

In a year, everyone who is saying Colbert is better will have changed their tune. Novelties wear off, people. Or are you still playing with your Tomagotchis?

The 4 hundred whatever part series "Better Know a District" will NEVER wear off Scott. Haha.

But honestly. Stewart has gone downhill. The majority of his comedy is this: Cut to senator making stupid comment, then cut back to Stewart making funny face, audience laughs. There are at least 3 of those jokes per episode.

[headclub]

good thread. i have to agree though, lately The Daily Show is just lacking something...oh wait..its colbert

[FrancesTheMute]

i do love colbert, but his show has been boring me lately. every day it's the same thing.


right now i have to say the daily show>colbert report

[boysdontcry17]

i think right now colbert>stewart.
but if i had to choose, stewart>colbert, stewart has more cred and has been around longer.

i definitely prefer the daily show.

But both are great.

[aminorthreat55]

Colbert has been getting weak recently. Daily Show is still better.

[Smash Adams]

totally different
Colbert is a character
Stewart is himself

hard to compare- daily show also has other funny people

[summer skin]

I like both for different reasons.
Daily Show for actual news commentary
and the Colbert Report for Stephen Colbert's antics.

i really like colbert but he's slightly over the top..sometimes.

I think it will be great, possibly even surpass the Daily Show in humor. Considering it will be a satire, I have a hunch Colbert will coin a lot of pop culture phrases. My prediction, it will probably be nominated for an Emmy but ultimately lose out to Barry Manilow. Then again, that's just a prediction.

Jon Stewart is awesome, but since the writer's strike, he has been a lot less funny imo, while Colbert is still the man. Though, hopefully The Daily Show will be back to its usual self soon since the writer's strike is almost over.

[Stupendous_Man]

I caught the second half of that yesterday. Funniest thing I've seen on his show in a while.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Jon is doing fine without the writers. Stephen is just as good as he was before because he's an improv master, but Jon has still been good. When the writers come back, all that's going to happen is that they're going to add more correspondent pieces, which are the least funny elements of the show usually.

This is odd but I dont like Jon Stewart at all. I dont know why, he is a funny guy. I just cant get into his show.

On the other hand, I love The Colbert Report. I dont get it.

[anthony051]

I've always like Stewart more because he appeals to a more intellectual crowd. I haven't really seen any slippage in either show, you just have to realize that The Daily Show is going to be worse off because Stewart can't write half of his stuff.

Colbert is great to though.

[Sventhegreat]

I agree man, i think that Colbert has definitely been getting funnier w/o his writers. It's been so good the last 2 weeks!! I love those videos by the way

I agree man, i think that Colbert has definitely been getting funnier w/o his writers. It's been so good the last 2 weeks!! I love those videos by the way
Yeah, he's done better without writers than most because he's a master improviser.

I was at the Colbert Report this afternoon, and in between his Q&A with the audience and the start of the show, they played Neutral Milk Hotel's "Holland, 1945". Actually, all the music was real good (a pearl jam song too). Funny as shit live too. If you're in NY i suggest you see this show live..

Anyway, let's discuss his greatness.

I was at the taping of this. We had no idea he was going to be on, so we ended up cheering so much that they had to cut down the applause for the airing.

[gloriousmuse]

Who needs Stewart when there's Colbert? Stewart's not even witty.

Last night's Daily Show had me in tears. :shrug:

[Praetor]

Colbert's book is one of the funniest things ever but his show is so hit or miss. Sometimes it's really unique and creative (his Better Know a District segment with Dan Maffei was EPIC) but other times it's the same old "Oh, I'm pretending to be a conservative but I'm really a liberal" bit. Jon Stewart is more consistently funny although his interview with Will Ferrell was an abortion.

America: The Book > I am America (And So Can You!)

Dude, people with similar avatars have been fucking my day up. I thought his book was okay. I think the show is better.

My apologies. :-(

My apologies. :-(
Haha, no harm done. It's just in the Weeds thread, people with the same avatar were talking back and forth and it really looked like he was talking to himself. And it just happened here. Made me do a double take.

It has been changed, young padawan.

Now I know.

And knowing is half the battle.

[Machu505]

Knowledge is power.

Arm yourself.

[emopunkfan]

that was really cool of him to shave his heads for the troops

[thespearkid]

Anyone else think his right ear is kind of weird looking without hair?

[jbaseball44]

Anyone considering going to the rally on the 30th?
