TV Buzz This was brilliant. Stephen Colbert surprised Jon Stewart at the end of tonight's “Daily Show” to demand back the Super PAC he gave Stewart control over while mulling a fake presidential bid. Stewart's refusal to honor Colbert's request led to an epic foot chase, culminating in… you know what? Just watch.
TV Buzz “A moon base? Your solution to being accused of grandiosity is 'Give me eight years and I'll have a fucking moon base.'” Just hours after enduring a debate night beating from Mitt Romney over his idea for a permanent colony on the moon, Newt Gingrich received a similar smackdown from Jon Stewart on Thursday night's “Daily Show.”

Celebrity Buzz It's all fun and games until Charlie bites someone and we all end up in the hospital being treated for Tiger's Blood. According to the head of the programming at Comedy Central, “Charlie has assured us that nothing will be off limits in this Roast… which scares even us.” And this was not taken for the proverbial snake rattle? Assuming they can salvage one usable hour out of this, the train wreck will be premiering on Monday, September 19.
No one on television can make me enjoy sitting through commercials quite like Stephen Colbert. Watch the master of product placement at his best as he hawks everything from Doritos to Bud Light Lime in the most entertaining ways possible.
You'd think that a network built on comedy would know that standard multi-cam, live audience sitcoms just aren't that funny anymore. Comedy Central decided to try anyway with their new show, Big Lake, starring Chris Parnell of SNL fame. The first two episodes of the show were aired last night on Comedy Central, and reviewers are in agreement: the show sucks.
