Greetings, Hubsters!
It’s been a busy weekend, so I’m keeping it short this time. But I can definitely say that I think Stephen has truly been delivering the goods in the past few weeks, and I am really looking forward to the upcoming shows. Sometimes I’m almost scared when the episodes are so consistently brilliant. How can he keep it up, I wonder? Is it possible to maintain such a heavenly high level, day after day, week after week? I certainly hope so, and a tip, tip, tip of the hat to the entire Colbert Report staff for what they do.
Meanwhile, I hope Stephen had a very special Father’s Day with his family.
Now, on to the guests. The week begins with economics and ends with theoretical physics. How’s that for a smart show? Continue reading

Past speakers have included President Clinton, Jerry Seinfeld, Chevy Chase and Jon Stewart. But, deadpanned Carell: “Speeches are forgotten as soon as they are delivered. Witness Brooke Shields, Katie Couric and especially Stephen Colbert. He is the worst.”
In his final words, he offered students advice:
“Show up on time, because to be late is to show disrespect,” he said. “Remember the words regime and regiment are not interchangeable. Get a dog because cats are lame. And every once in awhile, put something positive into the world. We’ve become so cynical these days and by ‘we,’ I mean us. So do something kind, make somebody laugh and don’t take yourself too seriously.”

“Amy Sedaris would play these little squirrel-like characters and goofy oddballs. Stephen Colbert was the twinkly-eyed, good-looking smarty-pants who actually performed a song about the conflict in the Balkans and managed to make it hilarious. (“We’re talkin’! We’re talkin’! We’re talkin’ ’bout the Balkans!) And Steve Carell could make anything funny. I don’t think I ever saw him die on stage. In one scene, a couple had a ton of kids, and the cast kept running through the stage, each one playing a different unruly child. Steve Carell simply walked through, holding up a piece of foam mat and said, “I found foam!” and could bring the house down with just one line.” (Pages 33 – 34)
