Hello, Hubsters!
With my life kicking up to high insanity at the moment, I’m going to try to get straight to the point on this post. So you may find that I’m a little shorter than usual. My apologies, but not to worry: I have several other pieces that I’m preparing for the HUB site that should be up soon.
I am still on a high from seeing Stephen at the 92nd Street Y on Friday night, but I will say no more about that now because I’ll discuss the evening in a separate reporT. Let’s just say that every time I’m lucky enough to hear him somewhere, to view his appearance on a TV show, or to read an interview, I am prouder than ever to be part of the Colbert Nation. I don’t know how many of you remember the not-too-long-ago Alec Baldwin debacle where he was tossed off a plane for refusing to stop playing “Words with Friends” when the flight attendant asked him to. A friend of mine Facebook-posted how disappointed she was in him and how another star she admired had just bitten the dust. At the time, I responded with: “Well, Stephen Colbert has never let me down.” I said it then, I repeat it now. My admiration grows and there’s never a reason to question it. Thank you, Stephen.
Last week gave us a number of top-drawer episodes, and I’m expecting more of the same in the coming days. There’s one big guest on the agenda, but also a couple of less-known visitors who I expect will bring us a lot of pleasure. I imagine from now until the election takes place both Jon and Stephen will be going full speed ahead, no stopping, no breaks. We’re in the home stretch now, and I’m scared, very scared. Jet Blue Airlines had an ad that encapsulated my feelings perfectly: “Election Protection 2012: If your candidate loses at least you have a chance at a free flight out of the country.” Wow. Hey, Katt—will Australia welcome me? Maybe that longed-for move to Brazil? I’m leaving my options open…
By the way, an aside here: those of who have not looked at our post for, and clicked on the link to, Stephen’s Playboy interview—DO IT NOW. It’s one of the very best I have read and a don’t-miss.
One final and sad note: once again in America we have a mass killing. My thoughts are with the people in Wisconsin and the families of those who were killed. When will this madness stop?
Now, let’s look at the guests. Continue reading “Better Know a Guest: October 22 – 25, 2012” »
