Why do I want to CRY watching a "comedy" show?
The Colbert Report opens tonight with one of the funniest/saddest bits I've ever seen.

1. I agree. Stephen Colbert did a great job.

I think the audience was with you. There wasn't much laughter. (Or at least I hope that's the reason).


I was hoping someone would post about it.

3. Hard to describe.
To encapsulate it into a one post would be a travesty.

There was some awkward silence as some of the "jokes" sunk in. Like when you hit too close to home. All I can say is, if you're in another time zone get ready. If not, watch it in re-runs tomorrow.

4. Please don't try. If you do, I'll HAVE to read it, and I wanna wait and see.

5. Good comedy doesn't always make you laugh.
Sometimes it's good for the medicine to go down without the sugar.

7. I watched the Daily Show tonight but not the Report.
But the 1:30 a.m. Report rerun will be on in a little while... I'll watch it then and see what you mean.

Hey, did I hallucinuate, or did Jon say that the president of Bolivia was going to be on the show tomorrow?
