Hello, Hubsters!
Wow. As Carly Simon sang: Anticipation…is keeping me waiting! The Colbert Report has a blow-you-away week coming up. The guests are amazing, and my hopes have risen high into the stratosphere, beyond our galaxy, boldly going where no one (okay, maybe a few) have gone before. And with The Daily Show also having some top-notch visitors, I’ve got really great expectations.
So let’s hop right to it!

Hello, Hubsters!
In my humble opinion, last week was one of the finest for both Jon and Stephen—brilliant and audacious shows all around. Of course, they had plenty to mock and attack, thanks to Murdoch, Boehner and the unraised debt ceiling, and a host of jaw-dropping Republican presidential candidates.
On a more serious note, I have always wondered how Stephen, Jon, and their respective staffs approach their work in the wake of a tragedy. How will the two of them cover the shocking violence that took the lives of so many in Norway, and the smaller, but still very sad, loss of Amy Winehouse? Those are the stories in the air and they’re not conducive to comedy. Jon, at least, can he his own heartfelt self. Stephen cannot. But he’s almost always found a way to express his feelings while staying true to his character, and I trust he will this time, too. Meanwhile, I send my sincerest, deepest condolences to the people of Oslo; as a New Yorker, I understand their pain.
Now to the guests! And thank you, Stephen: We have WOMEN once again! Continue reading
