Stephen Colbert's bit made me laugh until I cried.
You can check out the video clip for "Truthiness" on the webpage (once Comedy Central's web gurus's get it fixed). Right now the "Truthiness" video brings up the "Gravitas" video.
Stephen Colbert's new show is funnier if you are familiar with "Bill O'Reilly's No-Spin Zone" on Fox news network.
Salon has an article on Stephen Colbert's new show where they opine -
"In a nice play on O'Reilly's "No-Spin Zone" foolishness, Colbert wants us to know that even though his name is all over the place, the show isn't all about him. "No, this program is dedicated to you, the heroes!" he bellows. "And who are the heroes? The people who watch this show -- average, hardworking Americans. You're not the elites, you're not the country club crowd. I know for a fact that my country club would never let you in. But you get it! And you come from a long line of it-getters!"
Note to Reader: You have to watch an ad with a car spinning around for a second before Salon lets you read the whole article.
On the other hand...
The Kansas City Star asks if this may be too much of a good thing?
The one show I saw had some funny bits. Watched some last night and then gave it up...he seemed tired and the writing was flat.
Hoping for some more funny stuff as the show goes on...
