When the call came, Michele Ganeless didn’t want to pick up the phone. Stephen Colbert was on the line, and the Comedy Central president had a feeling it was bad news. “There was a moment of, ‘I don’t know that I want to have this conversation because I’m afraid of what it’s going to be,’” she recalls. Sure enough, the star of the network’s longtime hit The Colbert Report told her he was leaving to take David Letterman’s coveted late-night slot on CBS. After hearing the news, “there was maybe a moment of perspiration,” she says with a laugh. Colbert’s departure will be a big test for Ganeless, who has worked at Comedy Central on and off since the channel’s birth in the early ’90s and was appointed president in 2007. In May, she announced Colbert’s replacement: Daily Show correspondent Larry Wilmore, whose satirical news-commentary show, The Minority Report With Larry Wilmore, will debut early next year.

Stephen Colbert, host of The Colbert Report, as well as comedian and actor Chris Hardwick helped honor Michele Ganeless, president of Comedy Central, at UJA-Federation of New York’s Broadcast, Cable & Film Division event on June 19th.
Guests from the media and entertainment industry turned out at The Edison Ballroom in Manhattan to pay tribute to Ganeless for her leadership in philanthropy and business. They also enjoyed hearing Colbert quip, “Why is this night different from any other night? Because I’m usually just in a video.” As he presented Ganeless with her award, Colbert added, “Thank you for the privilege of honoring my dear friend, Michele. Thank you, Michele, for being the kind of friend I can still call a real friend and for guiding me for 26 years.”

Heads up Hubsters, writer and performer Sharilyn Johnson will be bringing her autobiographical solo show ‘Fake News Fangirl’ to The Winnipeg Fringe Festival from July 16 – 27 at Prairie Theatre Exchange’s Colin Jackson Studio.
Daily Show host Jon Stewart is the long time object of Johnson’s fandom affections. From her ‘90s teenage crush developed in the basement of a suburban Winnipeg bungalow, to close encounters with her hero in New York City, ‘Fake News Fangirl’ shatters audience perceptions of celebrity idolatry through humour, honesty and tales of outrageous fan behaviour.
In Fake News Fangirl, Johnson recounts the thrill of meeting Stewart, the startling experience of coming face to face with the real Stephen Colbert and her ill-advised hotel tryst with a Daily Show correspondent. Once swimming in fandom’s deep end, she finds herself in danger of sinking, a struggle anyone who’s ever loved something too much can relate to.
