“I am willing to show #Asian community I care by introducing the Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever,” “The Colbert Report” Twitter wrote Thursday.
The joke was taken from a bit on Wednesday night’s “The Colbert Report,” parodying Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder and his launch of the Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation in light of controversy over the team name. Taken out of context, however, many Twitter users saw the joke as racist, and launched a #CancelColbert campaign that quickly became a trending topic.
As the controversy started, the tweet was deleted, but Twitter users managed to screenshot the tweet before it disappeared.

“Tonight is historic for an-other reason: this episode is going to be played in perpetuity for visitors at the Carter Presidential library and museum in Plaines, Georgia. So right now, not only am I speaking to millions of people watching on TV (makes a “so-so” gesture), I am also speaking to several dozen tourists sitting on benches.”
What exciting news! If having the first-ever visit from a former or current US president directly to the TCR studio was not enough, we now learn that tonight’s episode will be a permanent installation at the Carter presidential library. As a result, the entire show was devoted to the 39th president. Let us know what you thought of the Carter-ific ep in the comments.

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.
Hey there Hubsters! As our favorite shows are coming back from spring break, I hope you all had wonderful spring breaks yourselves (if you participate in such things). I myself have been in break from college since last Friday, though I just went home to hang out and write some papers. You know, the extreme stuff.
There is a lot that has happened in the past week. I think probably the biggest thing Stephen and Jon could talk about is the drama between Russia and the Ukraine, but is there anything else you guys think they should be talking about? Let us know in the comments below! Also, share your thoughts on the new ‘Daily Show’ and ‘Colbert Report’ website re-designs.
Stephen’s guests at the table this week include two actors, a former US president, and a director.
Jon’s guests include a news editor, an author, a band member, and an actor.
