Stephen Colbert On "Meet The Press" This Sunday

[CatWoman]

:)

NBC has confirmed that Stephen Colbert will appear on this week's "Meet The Press" with Tim Russert to discuss his book, I Am America (And So Can You!), which he seems to be threatening to promote by running for president. UPDATE AND CORRECTION: Colbert will be the ONLY comedian, not part of a slate as originally suggested. Alas, we completely misunderstood our source — through the course of an email exchange no less — but ETP takes full responsibility for the misrepresentation. It did sort of seem a bit bizarro but who ever knows what Tim Russert has up his sleeve? Or in that giant head of his? There is room for all sorts of stuff in there. Post as it was originally published but totally inaccurate below; ETP regrets the error but will still be watching because we're just that devoted.

Previous wording, now completely wrong, though the named comedians have appeared on MTP in the past: Also appearing with Colbert will apparently be other comics including Jay Leno, Mark Russell and Steve Bridges — yes, that Steve Bridges, the President Bush impersonator whom Colbert last appeared with at that infamous White House Correspondents Dinner. We're not entirely sure what's planned, but we're always pleased when politics, media and comedy intersect. One small nit, though: Why no funny women? Amy Poehler who does a mean Hillary? Kirsten Wiig as Pelosi? We're just saying. (We know, so out of character!) Okay, see you Sunday. P.S. If you want to sleep in, go ahead — we hear it'll be at the end of the show.

5. I hope Colbert plays it straight and not in character

Not meaning to make people laugh, but just speaking truth to power about how the MSM is corrupt.

7. He can't do that: it blows his whole character apart.

However, I think I is safe to say that as with the Correspondents Dinner, and as with O'Reichley, Colbert will still make it clear what a worthless, hypocritical Bushie shitpile Russert is.
