When news stories fall through the cracks, we here at Colbert News Hub catch it for a post we call “In the Press”.
Wake up! Hasn’t that tryptophan worn off yet? Turn off the football games and find out what’s going on in the world of our boys, Jon and Stephen. Wait, our nation doesn’t watch football do we? Do we?
This edition is somewhat Stephen-less. I guess you could call it Jon-heavy. Stephen is accused of sexism, Jon is accused of being a real pundit and Late Night TV is saturated.

Jon Stewart and his beard check in on ‘The Daily Show’ via Skype, from ‘from somewhere far, far away’ to let John Oliver know he’s doing a phenomenal job as temporary host while he is off directing the geopolitical thriller ‘Rosewater’.
And brace yourself fashionistas, he is wearing a BLACK t-shirt! Perhaps this is how all of his grey t-shirts start?

John Oliver will take over as guest host of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” on Monday, June 10 at 11:00 p.m. ET/PT. Oliver will serve as host of the Emmy® and Peabody® Award-winning series for the eight weeks of original episodes that are scheduled during Jon Stewart’s hiatus to direct his first feature film, “Rosewater.” Stewart will return on Tuesday, September 3. Scheduled guests for Oliver’s first week include Seth Rogen (June 10), Armando Iannucci (June 11), a musical performance by Mavis Staples (June 12) and Fareed Zakaria (June 13).
“Don’t worry, it’s still going to be everything that you love about ‘The Daily Show,’ just without the thing that you love the most about it,” said Oliver.

Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart have been named amongst the ‘Most Powerful People in the Media’ by ‘The Hollywood Reporter’, featured in the April 26th issue.
More recently, Colbert, 48, married with three kids and living in Montclair, N.J., announced a legit political endeavor: He would help his sister Elizabeth Colbert Busch, who’s running for a House seat in their home state, South Carolina, by hosting fundraisers in Washington, D.C., and New York. Such off-hour antics have been a boon for The Colbert Report, which for the first time since its October 2005 debut is beating Jay Leno’s The Tonight Show in the key 18-to-49 demo while scoring an average nightly audience of nearly 2 million viewers.
With a cache of critical kudos (28 Emmy noms and two wins) and the least predictable guest lineup (Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, pig-farmer geneticist Carl Blake, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor), Colbert is the meta-quirk king of New York’s late-night universe.

While The Daily Show is on the road for a few weeks to cover the 2012 National Conventions, Jon Stewart used the opportunity to attend a Charlotte fundraiser for groups working to support U.S. military veterans.
NewsChannel 36 covered the story on a smartphone:
The Charlotte Business Journal was there as well, and while Jon was hesitant to skewer Charlotte, he did take another shot at Tampa:
“I’ve only been here a couple hours — seems real nice,” Stewart said soon after arriving at the party. “We just came up from Tampa, so just the idea that we can be outside for this amount of time without melting has been a very positive experience.”
Stewart is a major celebrity supporter of efforts to aid veterans and has taken several trips to visit American troops overseas.
The Charlotte Observer blogged a few more of his jokes:
He spent much of the party posing for photos, chatting with guests and drawing laughs with one-liners. When a little girl clad in a bathing suit and swim flippers approached him, he quipped: “Oh my God! It’s a web-footed person!”
Has he gathered any good material on Charlotte for his show yet? He’s working on it, he told me. “We’re trying to figure out why, no matter what you’re eating, they put it on a biscuit.”
All joking aside, Jon seems very relaxed here and it’s nice to see him in a casual atmosphere, chatting with the locals and supporting a great cause. Check out all the links below for the full story and more video and pictures!

Back in 1994 a young Jon Stewart was hot property at MTV where he helmed the brilliant, but short-lived ‘The Jon Stewart Show’ (1993 – 1994), which faced steep network competition being paired against late night juggernauts David Letterman (CBS) and Jay Leno (NBC). Fortunately for us, Jon appeared on all manner of wild and wacky 90s MTV shows, including ‘House of Style’ hosted by super model Cindy Crawford.
In this clip a cigarette smoking, tight white pant wearing Jon is a fish out of water as he and Cindy spend a ‘girl day’ together, dropping by Cindy’s modeling agency, getting pedicures, and hitting the gym … or if your Jon the floor.
