Culture Buzz When the world is threatened by Jon Stewart’s fleet of nu-cu-lar subs, some limey prancer ain’t going to save us. Stephen doesn’t need a number or high-tech gadgets or a dame telling him what to do. He just needs some ass to kick. And maybe some donations to buy a muscle car, a fighter jet, karate lessons, and a big effing gun.
Celebrity Buzz This photo was taken backstage when the diminutive NPR host was a guest on “The Colbert Report.” Yes, yes…he's not really that tall, but it's still funny.
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 Old people using inhalants seems to be a thing this week! Here's the conclusion of Stephen Colbert's highly entertaining interview with “Where The Wild Things Are” author Maurice Sendak, during which the curmudgeonly legend reviews Colbert's new children's book, “I Am A Pole (And So Can You),” before teaching him how to illustrate… while high on markers.
TV Buzz Who knew the children’s book author was so hilariously crotchety? Stephen and Maurice talk “Where The Wild Things Are,” why his book featuring a naked boy was banned (hint: all of the penises!), and the true definition of “wild rumpus.”
Politics Buzz Not one of the major networks picked up Cain's Tea Party response. It was pretty tame as far as Cain speeches go.
Politics Buzz This passage from Romney's stump speech sounds like something you might hear in a Colbert Report monologue.
Culture Buzz Tweets from the widely followed accounts that appeared on Sunday evening suggest a connection to Anonymous. Unfortunately, the hackers' tweets were far, far less interesting than the usual fare from either show.
Politics Buzz Andy and Jodie Rodwell are carrying out Stephen Colbert’s master plan in South Carolina.
Politics Buzz That is, of course, if he had to choose from the four remaining GOP candidates. Yesterday’s Morning Joe crew wouldn’t take “Herman Cain” for an answer.
Politics Buzz Colbert outshines the actual candidates at a rally with Herman Cain.
Politics Buzz “ROCK ME LIKE A HERMAN CAIN!” A day before the primary.
Politics Buzz Colbert is on the march. South Carolina doesn't seem entirely to be in on the joke. “I don't know how serious he is about it,” muses Gidley.
Politics Buzz “Get your names right, Bill!” Stephen Colbert opened tonight's “Colbert Report” with a segment about the easy to get around “non-coordination” rules applying to Super PACs. Specifically, Colbert hit back at BuzzFeed — and editor-in-chief Ben Smith — for questioning the legality of his coordination with Jon Stewart, who took over the Super PAC Colbert created once he announced his possible run for “President of the United States of South Carolina.” Me-ow!
Politics Buzz Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are making a complete mockery of U.S. election law by stretching the limits of what can be considered “non-coordination” between presidential candidates and the Super PACs that back them. They're also making history.
Politics Buzz We thought he was, for a second, by apparently coordinating with his SuperPAC, Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow. But wait: There's a loophole!
Politics Buzz Latest ad to air in South Carolina from “The Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC.”
Politics Buzz This just keeps getting better. Three days after announcing the formation of a presidential exploratory committee following a transfer of control over his Super PAC to Jon Stewart—and mere hours after that same Super PAC released a Mitt Romney attack ad set to air this week in South Carolina—Stephen Colbert fielded questions about it all from George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning during an at-times contentious appearance on ABC's “This Week.” And it was awesome.
Culture Buzz Democracy is finally a funny joke!
And you thought these reactions were bad. A million face palms is not…
What, what, what is going on here?
