The Daily Show or Corbert Report--which is your favorite?

[WI_DEM]

[valerief]

1. Corbert Report? nt

[WI_DEM]

6. fixed

[originalpckelly]

8. Isn't that the car?

Oh that's Corvair Report.

[Beaverhausen]

2. I'm absolutely addicted to both equally

Where's that option?

[Phredicles]

3. "Both equally"

Each enhances the other, and either would be diminished without the other. This is far and away my favorite hour of TV these days!

[annabanana]

4. That's like asking which is your favorite CHILD

for heaven's sake...
They are so different, both perfect in every way!

[angry_chuck]

12. good correlation

I love both, you're both special

[polemic_realism]

5. Colbert all the way

TDS is great, but colbert's got it with the irony. What better way to expose the fallacy of the right wing than playing the part to its most ridiculous conclusion.

[ripple]

7. Pssst....It's CoLbert

And I love them both, but Colbert is my favorite.

[XboxWarrior]

10. 1st to vote neither

My damn satellite is shut off....

Why?

I have no job.......

I like Stewart way more than Cobert.

Why?

Cobert is a "spin-off"

peace

p.s. ever see that Michael Richard's show?

just sayin'

18. You can see a lot of the segments from the shows online

24. Next time you can afford it

get an antenna. I don't have to pay a thing for my TV. However, there are lots of sations I can't get.

9. I was going to vote "both equally"

but I wanted Colbert to catch up in the voting. ;)

Actually, I think I'm beginning to look forward to Colbert even more than the Daily Show these days, though I really do love both and never miss them!

[warrens]

11. It's an hour-long comedy block to me

I wouldn't watch one without the other.

[Exiled in America]

I have a more complicated answer:

I prefer the FORMAT of the Colbert Report more - more skits and comedy segments, very very short time with any guest. I don't like that half of the Daily Show is devoted to guests, takes away from the comedy that I prefer.

But on the other hand, I love Jon Stewart the most as a personality. He is certainly my favorite though I have great respect for Stephen and I laugh at his satire loudly and often!

Really in the end, both are true joys! :)

[Warpy]

13. Colbert is subtle enough that

a few deluded right wingers are probably taking the "truthiness" seriously.

As a brat who occasionally put out alternative leaflets in the 60s, I appreciate that greatly.

[Beelzebud]

14. Both. It's the best 1 hour on TEE VEE.

[AspenRose]

15. Colbert Report of course

:loveya: Stephen T. Colbert, DFA

He's brilliant, he's funny, he's sexy...the trifecta
What more could one ask for? :D *swoon*

[etherealtruth]

16. I love him more!

:loveya: Stephen Colbert:loveya:

I think we've had this discussion before:7

[AspenRose]

17. ok ok OK we can share him on alternating days.

Wonder if his wife/my husband will be ok with that? }(

Just goes to show we have good taste. :hug:

[Minnesota_Lib]

20. Nobody but nobody can lift an eyebrow like Stephen.

:D

[Beaverhausen]

27. "My country tis of me, sweet man of liberty"

:rofl:

[liberal N proud]

19. They are almost two seperate types of show

Fake News that has more content than real news shows vs. a satire of a total moron.
They can both be the top of their category beating out the "real" news.
I enjoy Stewart a little more than Colbert

[patricia92243]

21. TDS will be around for years and years. Not so sure about Colbert. Hopefully he will know when to

make necessary changes. The fake ego stuff will only go so far. The Word and his interviews are good, so I'm assuming he will know when some of the other stuff starts getting stale.

I faithfully watch both of them, and now that I'm retired, I see the reruns the next day also. (I think need to get a life.)

[Critters2]

32. I agree. I find Colbert tiresome. nt

[Catchawave]

22. Like picking a favorite child :)

If you meant the Colbert Report, he dropped a notch on my fan'o'meter with that Helen Keller bit. I know he means to push the envelope, but picking on a deaf-mute child was uncomfortable for this mom of a special needs child. Sorry Stephen, I voted Jon.

[AspenRose]

33. I've been thinking about this.

I can certainly understand why you'd be uncomfortable with that, having family with special needs myself. :hug:

Colbert is a caricature of the right wing and ALL its ugliness. It is, therefore, HIGHLY LIKELY that a Bill O'Reilly-type of pundit WOULD make fun of deaf-mute children. They're assholes like that.

I doubt Stephen Colbert, the person, would do such a thing. Stephen Colbert, the obnoxious right-wing idiot, certainly would.

Colbert's problem is that he's too damn convincing as his alter-ego, and it's hard/uncomfortable for many people to see the distinction.

When he interviewed David Gergen and Gergen made some reference to vanilla and chocolate swirl ice cream being better than chocolate OR vanilla because it was the best of both, Colbert said he 'thought it was an abomination,' aluding to interracial marriage being 'an abomination.' I happen to resemble that remark, and when I first heard it, it shocked me, but then I remembered who was talking and found it pretty funny and apropo.

Did you see the episode when he interviewed the inventor of the Segway and came out in a wheelchair?

[Catchawave]

34. I guess I love it more when he chooses to

make asses of politicians, probably why I voted for Jon in our "Family DU Poll", it was the decider for me :hug:

I love when Jon and Stephen push the envelope and make us think, but could making fun of Anne Frank be next ?

[mentalsolstice]

23. Depends on what day it is

When it's a hot news cycle I like TDS better. But I have to admit to a secret crush on Colbert...he's the hottest geek around! I watched him on 60 minutes and he's a brilliant genius...he looks totally different out of character, but only because of the way he uses his facial expressions. You can tell on his show when he has broken character by the way his face softens, which he does quite often to let us know that the joke is on us. He is soooo subtle!

[stanwyck]

25. I'm just eagerly waiting for that new show

that Faux News is going to air in January which will, finally, replace that horrible leftwing The Daily Show and Colbert Report with good ole patriotic rightwing comedy.
Gee, I sure hope it features all my favorite Republican Blondes. (Ann, are you going to be there?)
Rightwing humor. It may sound like an oxymoron, but just you wait!
I know Jon and Stephen are getting nervous.
Or not. Maybe they're just laughing already at the fun they're going to have with Faux.

[madokie]

26. they are on at the same time as KO so Keith wins out most times. dang it anyway

[Beaverhausen]

28. they run reruns several times during the day

gotta get your daily show/colbert fix!

[sendero]

29. IMHO..

... Stewart is ALWAYS funny, Colbert is sometimes funny. They both do a good job of sending up the idiots, but only Stewart consistently gets a laugh while he's at it.

[Laurab]

30. Stephen....no, Jon....no Stephen...no wait....Jon..

I love them both, but there's just something about Colbert that made me vote for him.......but it's thisclose!

[Gwerlain]

31. ...although The Word is usually hilarious.

ETA:

Will be president for food
