Alex's Journal

So I e-mailed the e-mail address from the list of people Rob Corddry hates... and the response was personalized enough that they noticed that my name in the e-mail header was "Alessandra", but that I'd signed it "Alex".

(You get an e-mail with this image as an attachment back. Glee! Rob Corddry hates me!)

Five Minutes With Stephen Colbert

Clip:

CP: Some critics have accused “The Daily Show” of being overly liberal though you have mix of Democrat and Republican guests, and liberals are the butt of jokes sometimes. How do you respond to the critique?

SC: Um, we are liberal, but Jon’s very respectful of the Republican guests, and, listen, if liberals were in power it would be easier to attack them, but Republicans have the executive, legislative and judicial branches, so making fun of Democrats is like kicking a child, so it’s just not worth it.

CP: When’s the “Strangers With Candy” movie coming out?

SC: October 21 is when the movie comes out.

CP: That is so exciting; we can’t tell you how much we miss that show.

SC: And the Colbert Report starts that Monday, October the 17th.

CP: So you have a banner week!

SC: It’s going to be Oct-olbert, I’ve decided. That’s an exclusive, haven’t used that line with anyone else!

Also, this article is hilarious too.

Comedy Central also touted a recent study by the University of Pennsylvania’s National Annenberg Election Survey, which said young viewers of “The Daily Show” were more likely to answer questions about politics correctly than those who don’t.

Comedy Central had no statistics on how many people watch “The Daily Show” stoned.

Although seemingly taken aback by repeated “stoned slackers” references while talking with O’Reilly, Stewart was ready with a joke.

“This election is going to rely on the undecided,” he said. “And who is more undecided than stoned slackers? Ice cream or pretzels? Ice cream or pretzels? What’s it going to be?”
