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! Hopefully everyone’s holiday season (and, ahem, final exams) are going well! Thanks to Katt for covering for me while I wrote some papers last weekend. The final week of shows for the year is chock-full of guests, as it is also Christmas Carol Week. The regular guests this week include Buzzfeed CEO Jonah Peretti, Alpha House creator Gary Trudeau, and actors Keanu Reeves and Ben Stiller, while a whole host of special musical guests include Gregg Allman, The National, Cyndi Lauper, Alan Cummings, Aaron Neville, MusiCorps, and Blind Boys of Alabama join Stephen for Carol Week. Have you got a favourite Christmas Carol or tradition you’re hoping to see this week? Let us know in the comments.
Jon’s guests this week are filmmaker Haifaa Al Mansour, businessman Erik Prince, the Anchorman cast and comedic actor Jonah Hill. Sounds like quite a week for The Daily Show too!

Hello, Hubsters,
I know that Stephen and his family have been in our thoughts and hearts over the past few days, and that we, collectively, have been sending him the most fervent of good wishes; I’m sure those who pray have been doing that too. I hope all our strong, good, and caring energy brings comfort to him and his loved ones.
And I hope something else too: that the public and the media will allow Stephen the privacy he deserves and needs, now and in the future, this time and any time. I enjoy Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks, and have met, or reconnected, with some wonderful people that way—including all of you fabulous Hubster friends and fangirls. But the explosion of insanity out there stunned even me, who is acutely aware of Stephen’s popularity. People were e-mailing me with questions, many punctuated with triple exclamation points. (No, I have no insider knowledge.) There were more rumors and conspiracy theories swirling around his brief absence than over the Kennedy assassination, and that’s just madness. I’m sure I needn’t say more about some of the nonsense out in the Twitterverse; most of you are probably aware of it and I won’t dignify it. I would, however, like to re-quote something our own Susan209 posted: “With regard to the media’s response (and ours too), the New Yorker online had this to say: ‘You know who would do a great satire of that kind of media overhype? Stephen Colbert.’” Indeed. Thank you, Susan, for finding that.

There’s nothing better to start a new week of shows off with than a mini Visual Delight!! The follow images are screencaps from “Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop”, featuring Stephen, Jon, Paul and Conan.
I think the first image is not only a true testiment to talents of Stephen, Jon and Conan, to be able to pull off such a hilarious piece of comedy, but also to Jon’s ability to squeeze into a Mexican waiter outfit all in under ten minutes!!
Conan O’Brien, Stephen Colbert, Brian McCann, Andy Richter and Jon Stewart
