When news stories fall through the cracks, we here at Colbert News Hub catch it for a post we call “In the Press”.
Happy Pi day, Happy Ides of March and Happy St. Patty’s Day!
Well, I’m afraid Stephen has not been named new Pope. What an ITP post that would’ve been huh? Alas, Pope (Sub) Urban will have to wait. However, that’s not to say there haven’t been some interesting news items involving Stephen, Jon, and everyone else in the world directly related to Colbert Nation.
In this edition, watching the Colbert Report means you’re smart, Jon’s hiatus, Stephen’s thoughts on the new Pope, Elizabeth Colbert-Busch’s first campaign ad and her major donors, you can get a degree from Second City, and the new late night landscape.

Not surprisingly, the super-lucky students at Fordham gave Stephen a resounding thumbs up on his appearance at “The Cardinal and Colbert” on September 14th. Jesuit priest Sam Sawyer, SJ has written a piece called “A Cardinal and Comedian Walk into a Gym” for The Jesuit Post describing the students reactions to the event, including the following video:

To all those in attendance last night, I hope you all had a wonderful evening (it was definitely worth camping out for tickets), and to all of those who made the even to possible – Thank You!!
As was predicted the media embargo was broken by the few media representatives in attendance the minute Twitter fired up with #DolanColbert and #dolbert. Guests Tweeted some of the evenings best quotes, and even managed a few Twit Pics from afar. Father Martin and Cardinal Dolan have both published their opening remarks from the event on their respective sites, which you can find excerpts from below. Also included is a great write-up from ‘The New York Times’ and a pre-event interview with Father Martin by ‘The Washington Post’.
Apologies for the length of the post, life has gotten in the way and taken up all of my free time at present. If I do not have time to post any photo’s from the event you can find them re-blogged on our social media accounts – Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, tumblr and Instgram (@ColbertNewsHub) – of which the direct links can be found located on our side bar.

Last month, a simple invite went out to the nation’s major media to cover the Sept. 14 event at Fordham University. It was billed as “a conversation about humor, faith, joy and the spiritual life,” to be moderated by James Martin, a Jesuit priest, “official chaplain” to the Comedy Central’s Colbert Report and author of Between Heaven and Mirth.
On Thursday, however, Fordham sent out an Oooops note, slamming door on the media coverage, saying:
“The evening has evolved from a public event to a more intimate conversation in front of members of the Fordham community. We will not be videotaping the event for distribution, nor streaming it on the Web or elsewhere.”
On Friday, everyone clammed up about the clampdown.
Carrie Byalick, spokeswoman for Stephen Colbert, said Friday, “Stephen Colbert looks forward to participating in an intimate event with Cardinal Dolan and Fordham students.”
Dolan, never media-shy, will be there to meet Colbert, his spokesman, Joseph Zwilling, confirms with no elaboration.
Fordham gets the punch line. University spokesman Bob Howe sticks to his story that:
“There’s nothing nefarious about the decision. … Events like this are usually planned further in advance, and we have more time to work out the kinks before we go public. This time we got a little ahead of ourselves.”
