Welcome to Better Know a Guest, your weekly guide to the wonderful and diverse array of personalities appearing on ‘The Colbert Report’ and ‘The Daily Show’ each week.
Hello Hubsters! Another week, another series of shows! It looks like a pretty interesting week to me! Also, Bill O’Reilly’s microwave for the Yellow Ribbon Fund sold for $5400. Way to go! I’m also interested to see what Stephen’s got in store for the last few days of the Olympics. What do you all want to see?
Stephen’s guests this week include two singers, two Olympians, and an actor.
Jon’s guests this week are two authors, a scientist, and an actor.

Hello, Hubsters!
Happy October! I hope everyone is well–and that most of you have had the chance to watch Oprah’s interview with Stephen. Although much of the information was familiar to to his true fans, it’s always fun to see Stephen as himself. Besides, we also got home video plus a rare appearance by Evie. (Who, judging from the wedding picture, hasn’t changed even a tiny bit in 19 years. I’d ask where the portrait was hanging, but she seems too lovely for that.)
This week, Stephen welcomes musical guests two days out of four. That should make his life a little easier as he begins his round of book events and TV appearances—and as we know from the recent taping report, last week Stephen recorded some extra material, so that also should help him, too.
So let’s go! Continue reading
Hello, Hubsters!
Well, this post was hard to write. Do you want to know why? Because it’s VERY difficult to type while you’re jumping up and down, cheering. And that’s what I’m still doing from last week. Every episode was amazing…and then we had that showstopping week-ender! I’m still trying to process it all. But, as my dance hero David Hallberg tweeted (with the link to the latest New York Times article on Stephen): ”Is there anything Stephen Colbert can’t/won’t do…?” My answer: No—he’ll try anything and everything if it will bring a little good to the world…and, of course, make us laugh. (He emphasizes the latter and downplays the former, but Stephen, we’re on to you!)
The Colbert Report begins the week with a very appropriate guest for Martin Luther King Day and ends with an expert from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, while The Daily Show gives us a little political biography, two actors, and one TBA.
