Hello, Hubsters!
I hope everyone has purchased America Again by now. If not . . . why not?
Election season seems to bring out the best in Stephen and Jon—if not everyone else—and their shows have been blazing in the past few weeks. Kudos to Jon for some of the sharpest work he’s done in a long time. And thank you, Stephen, for everything (but especially the searing humor of “Four more wars! Four more wars!).
This week looks pretty amazing, with both the Report and TDS having a host of fabulous guests. Got to hand it to Jon this week, though. Wow. His booker SHOULD get an Emmy®.
Tuesday’s debate will likely provide more fodder for everyone—and I’m hoping that this time Mitt is the butt of the jokes. I’m betting that if Obama does as badly as he did last debate, he’s going to get an earful from Jon on Thursday.
I would just like to take a moment to offer my best wishes for a full recovery to the brave Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban, Malala Yousafzai. The 14-year-old is an inspiration and, in my opinion, should received the Nobel Peace Prize–not the European Union. Malala is currently on her way to the UK, where she will receive physical and psychological care.
Now, let’s take a look at this week’s guests!
Monday, 10/15: Evan Thomas
Do you like Ike? In this presidential election year, it’s always interesting to look back at earlier leaders and see how they handled crises and policy. Journalist Evan Thomas, a former Newsweek editor and correspondent, has written a book on Eisenhower, Ike’s Bluff: President Eisenhower’s Secret Battle to Save the World. Eisenhower, the great general who came to power just after WWII, had to navigate the Cold War and prevent it from becoming hotter, hotter, nuclear. (He also gave us Nixon, but that’s another story.) It seems to me that present-day politicians, coping with an explosive Middle East and other regions, might glean something from Ike’s policies—though there are plenty of ways in which they shouldn’t emulate him, too.
Thomas presents Eisenhower as a brilliant strategist, which shouldn’t surprise us given his victories on the battlefield. Yet at the time, Ike was not considered the smartest of men. To counter this belief, Thomas zeroes in on the years 1953-1961, bypassing Eisenhower’s military career in favor of examining the way he steered us through the Korean War and other, smaller, emergencies that arose—such as when the Soviet Union shot down a US spy plane and captured the pilot, Gary Powers.
Thomas, who graduated from Harvard and then received his law degree from the University of Virginia, has won the National Magazine Award, as well as many other honors. In addition to writing for Newsweek, he reported for TIME magazine and regularly appears on the TV current affairs program, Inside Washington. Ike’s Bluff is his eighth book; the others include The War Lovers: Roosevelt, Lodge, Hearst and the Rush to Empire, 1898, the bestselling Sea of Thunder, and Robert Kennedy: His Life. Recently, he has taught as a visiting professor at both Princeton and his alma mater, Harvard.
Interesting family tidbit: Thomas’s grandfather ran for president on the Socialist Party line six times.
Read the New York Times review of Ike’s Bluff.
The Washington Post reviewed the book, too.
Listen to the publisher’s “Book Talk” with Thomas.
Vanity Fair also published an article about the book.

He has appeared on Charlie Rose. (In this instance, with Jon Meacham, also formerly of Newsweek.)

Ummm–he doesn’t think Romney made gaffes during this summer’s trip abroad. “Obviously London was not ready for the Olympics,” he asserted. Really? I think it went off beautifully.
While his two most recent books have been published by Little, Brown, Simon and Schuster had many of the earlier ones, and you can look them up here.
Tuesday, 10/16: Cory Booker
I am so stoked about this visit! I love Cory Booker, the dynamic, committed mayor of Newark, New Jersey. He took over a city that suffered from extreme poverty and violence, not to mention corrupt politicians (that’s you, Sharpe James), and he is making a difference. Booker, now on his second term after a landslide victory, received his BA and MA from Stanford University, and then a second BA in Modern History from Oxford University, which he attended as a Rhodes Scholar. He then earned his law degree at Yale. During his time at Stanford, he also played football—and became class president. Prior to becoming mayor, he served as a Newark city councilman.
Judging from the links Colbertnation.com provided, it looks as if Booker will discuss the Dodge Poetry Festival, taking place in Newark right now. The site says that the event will feature “2,500 hours of audio and video recordings, which include never-before-seen and once-in-a-lifetime conversations by internationally recognized poets.” There’s also a special day dedicated to the writing by high school students, and lots of fun music and art shows occurring along with the poetry, including a new jazz festival.
Incidentally, he has reason to try winning over Mr. Colbert. Booker has admitted contemplating a run for NJ governor in 2013 . . . and resident of the state Stephen would have the opportunity to vote for him, if he wished. I’d be delighted to see Booker kick out current governor Chris Christie, who spoke at the Republican convention and whom I can’t abide. Besides, Booker’s actually a hero, having rushed into a burning building and rescued a neighbor. Would Christie do that? Nah. It also got Booker a very nice reward: Stephen honored him as Alpha Dog of the Week!
Although Booker has taken the reins of a very troubled and poor city, he didn’t have to. He himself grew up in a more upscale area of New Jersey, but even while getting his law degree he ran clinics to help the low-income residents of New Haven, CT; directly after graduation he joined the Urban Justice Center in New York and then became Program Coordinator of the Newark Youth Project. After that, Booker embarked upon his political career. I personally have high hopes that he will eventually run for president. But we shall see.
This is Booker’s third visit, so he’s a friend of the show! He last appeared in September 2009 and before that in 2008.

He gave a speech at the DNC, and advocated for gay rights.
What did he think of Obama’s recent performance in the debate? He has strong words.
Here’s his Huffington Post blog.

He was the subject of the Oscar®-nominated documentary, Street Fight.
Cory Booker and Stephen Colbert have something in common: both have had their family roots researched by Henry Louis Gates.
Wednesday, 10/17: Tyler Perry
In an industry that has never been particularly welcoming to African-Americans, Tyler Perry has made his mark. While critics don’t always love his broadly humorous films—particularly the Madea series—audiences do. But it has been a long journey for Perry, who grew up in a poor and abusive household in New Orleans and fought his way to success. He actually began in theater, rather than films, which is where the legendary Madea was born in 2000. Played by Perry in drag, this was one wild foul-mouthed grandmother, with a fondness for pot and guns. She proved to be his ticket to the movies when he turned Diary of a Mad Black Woman into a film in 2005. Perry had a 5.5 million dollar budget; it raked in 50.6 million. Now he has a huge studio complex in Atlanta with 300 employees. In addition to movies, he produced a TV show called Tyler Perry’s House of Payne until this year, and now has Tyler Perry’s For Better or for Worse on the air. According to Forbes in 2011, he was the highest paid man in the entertainment industry. In 2012, the magazine counts him as #20 in the Celebrity Top 100.
On TCR, however, Perry won’t be plugging a film he himself directed, but one he’s acting in. And it’s not a comedy, but a mystery. In Alex Cross, based on a James Patterson novel, he portrays the title character, a detective in search of his niece’s killer. He’s taking over the role from none other than Morgan Freeman, who played Cross in two earlier films: Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Earlier this year, Perry released a non-Madea film of his own called Good Deeds.
One thing that Stephen and Perry can chat about is Oprah, now that Stephen’s had his “OWN” encounter with the talk show great. On his website’s biography, Perry credits her with giving him life-changing advice, and he and she now have formed a partnership for OWN—but he hasn’t yet provided the details.
Perry has received a number of BET, Image, and MTV Movie Award nominations and wins.
Visit his website.
Perry—and his popular Madea films—are not without controversy. Spike Lee, among many others, has criticized him for using minstrel stereotypes—“coonery buffoonery,” in Spike’s words. In response, Perry told Spike to “go straight to hell.” (By the way, I’d like to counter Perry’s statement that “Italians don’t complain about The Sopranos.” He’s wrong. Many have complained bitterly, about both the TV show and also Scorsese’s Mafia-based films.) Cornel West also weighed in on the argument.
Like him on Facebook.
Follow him on Twitter.
An article in the Atlantic talks about Perry’s work in relation to a film that it considers a better “answer” to the type of movies he makes: Ava DuVernay’s The Middle of Nowhere.
Like his mentor, Oprah, Perry believes in performing acts of kindness and generosity. He contributed a lot to Haiti after the earthquake; sponsored a trip to Disney World for a group of poor children—and he bought a van for a disabled woman whose vehicle was stolen.
Perry who admitted that he was sexually abused, wrote an open letter to the brave 11-year-old who spoke up in the Penn State case.
He’s going to appear on America’s Next Top Model.
Thursday, 10/18: The Killers

Thursday is this week’s music night, which, much to my delight, is becoming a regular thing on the show. Indie band The Killers has a new album, Battle Born. The title comes from the slogan on the Nevada state flag: the state’s creation in 1864 helped assure both Lincoln’s re-election and the union. It’s also the name of the group’s studio.
The Killers consists of vocalist and keyboardist Brandon Flowers; guitarist/backup singer Dave Keuning; bassist/backup singer Mark Stoermer; and drummer/percussionist Ronnie Vannucci, Jr. The Las Vegas-based band formed in 2001 and previously released three records (not counting a compilation album): Hot Fuss (2004), Sam’s Town (2006), and Day & Age (2008). Over the years, the group’s sound has varied and changed, from hard guitar rock to Springsteen-like anthems. Interestingly, Flowers and Keuning, the two founding members, met through a newspaper ad placed by Keuning; Stoermer and Vannucci joined them a year later. They paid their dues playing in Vegas, before undergoing a long process that ended with them first getting signed by the small British indie label, Lizard King, and then by Island Records in the States. Their first release won them three Grammy® nominations, and in 2010 they played on the White House lawn in a salute to the military. That same year, the group decided to go on hiatus, with the members embarking on solo projects. Now, a year-and-a-half later, they’re back together, with this new work and a tour.
Brandon Flowers tell the story of the band in the Daily Mail.

Just as the new album comes out, MTV decided to take a fresh look at an old work: Sam’s Town, which originally received a very mixed response.
The LA Times reviewed Battle Born.
Brandon Flowers talks about the new album and about the power of rock ‘n’ roll.
The entire band discusses music, politics, and more in The Daily Beast. (Teaser: Flowers is a Mormon and Romney likes their music.)

Tragically, the saxophonist who toured with the band killed himself earlier this year.
Now, let’s check in with our good friend, Jon Stewart!
Mr. Stewart, I raise a toast to you this week for snagging two of the most-wanted guests. Cheers!
Monday, 10/15: J.K. Rowling
Her story is legendary by now—how she started scribbling a story on a napkin and went from unemployed single mom to the author of the most successful children’s series in history. Now, the Harry Potter author has a new book, but this time for adults—The Casual Vacancy, set in a small English town. Rowling has said her next work will once again be for kids (of all ages).

Tuesday, 10/16: Eugene Jarecki
Director and writer Eugene Jerecki is a Sundance Festival favorite, and he has a new film out. Like Why We Fight, his previous movie, The House I Live In won the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prizes for Documentary. It deals with the war on drugs—which seems an increasingly futile and costly battle. Jarecki speaks to people on both sides, from the cop to the dealer.
Read the New York Times review.
This is his third visit to The Daily Show; his recent appearance took place almost four years ago to the day, in 2008.
He and Bill Maher discussed the film and the drug war. (They both oppose it.)
Forbes had an interview with Jarecki.
Wednesday, 10/17: Nate Silver
Statistician Nate Silver began his career in baseball, predicting the outcome of games. Then he moved on to politics—and in his last go-round, he got the results right in 49 of the 50 states. I’m scared of what he’ll say this year. His new book is The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail—and Some Don’t.
He’s got a blog—called FiveThirtyEight.
Follow him on Twitter.
Listen to him on NPR.
Thursday, 10/18: President Barack Obama
Okay, I do NOT have to tell you anything about this guest, do I? Well, if there’s just one thing you have to know: he’s currently running for his second term as President of the United States.
This is President Obama’s fifth visit with Jon. The most recent occurred in 2010. Here’s Part 1, Part 2, AND Part 3.
