After a bunch of dummies in Maine (Buzzfeed superfan Joy Engel notwithstanding) voted against gay marriage yesterday, this clip from The Dana Carvey Show (featuring Carvey and Stephen Colbert) has been gaining popularity. Between lobsters, Stephen King, and that awesome scene from Maine-set In The Bedroom, we were really big fans of the state. Maine should take a trip to Iowa and cool off ):
TV Buzz They tried their best to really make this joke work, but in the end they just had let it go.

Stephen Colbert's four-day broadcast from Baghdad, sponsored by the U.S.O., was unexpectedly charming.
TV Buzz Green Day pulled a Keyboard Cat on The Colbert Report, and it was glorious. Billie Joe Armstrong has made it official: Keyboard Cat is anything but dead (yet).
Stephen Colbert recommended the Republicans rebrand themselves with a new logo - the cockroach (or as Tony from Scarface would say, “Cock-a-roach”). Unlike elephants which are presumably getting murdered by GOP policies, the cockroach is resilient and will be around forever! I like?
TV Buzz Stephen Colbert throws his considerable weight against the coming storm of legalized gay marriage. “Before long, the winds will be blowing each other.”

One small step for NASA, one giant running leap for Stephen Colbert. After much anticipation, NASA said Tuesday it would not name the new room in the international space station after Colbert, even though he won the most votes in an online write-in contest. Instead, a treadmill will carry the Colbert name into space.
Stephen Colbert talks to a leading researcher in the field of uber-creepy-lab-grown-meat. The shmeat segment starts about 1:20 in. This is more disarming than Quorn.
Science Buzz NASA may name a space toilet after Stephen Colbert after he urged viewers to vote for him. Falling behind were nominees “Earthrise,” “Legacy,” “Serenity,” and “Venture,” which Colbert claimed sounded more appropriate as flavors of “organic tea.”
If you even think about giving the bears your Big Mac you now know what we'll do to them. Two words. Shotgun, and blood. Keep your windows up and burgers safely inside the vehicle.
TV Buzz On Monday night's Colbert Report, the Congresswoman from Wyoming (they only have one) said her state's antelopes are the fastest animals in the world. Stephen, of course, disagreed. He said cheetahs were faster, and he's right. According to multiple sources, cheetahs top off at around 70 miles per hour while antelope crawl along at just 60. Wyoming just learned something important.
TV Buzz In probably the most charming interview ever on The Colbert Report, Stephen interviews David Byrne.

So last night Stephen Colbert talked to Lawrence Lessig about his book “Remix,” about the future of copyright law. And he said he would be very angry if anyone remixed the interview, and because Stephen Colbert's word is law, obviously somebody did remix the interview. Fun! The original un-remixed interview is pretty entertaining as well.
In response to Stephen Colbert's “Operation Humble Kanye,” the star Twittered back: “Who the f*** is Stephen Colbert?” Thus starting another faux feud to further promote the singer/rapper's new album.
Last night on Stephen Colbert's Christmas Special, John Legend us all know that his nutmeg is “the only residue [he] wants you wiping of your face.”

The first track from Stephen Colbert's Christmas album is now available online. It should not surprise you that Colbert can actually sing. Step aside, Bing Crosby.
TV Buzz The media is all revved up to see how The Daily Show (and political comedy in general) will thrive in the era of Obama, a president who, unlike Bush, is shaping up to not be an a-hole and single-handedly destroy the country. If all were right in the world, Dubya would get his own segment on The Daily Show, letting us see how funny the guy can be when not, you know, controlling the fate of the free world.

The mock conservative says he endorses Obama, but that doesn’t mean he’ll vote for him. You know what this means: it’s about time McCain endorsed Obama.
A new webseries from the WB features Rob Corddry and actually looks funny. Though the funny might just be all coming from Stephen Colbert’s voiceover work in the trailer, I can’t be sure.
TV Buzz In the age of Obama, Comedy Central is [finally] trying to capture an African-American audience in this sketch show disguised as a newsmagzine set to air before The Daily Show and The Colbert Report (not bad). Rumor has it that Tyler Perry had to be “forcibly removed” from the set when he learned that his name wasn’t attached to the project. Thank goodness too, because we’ll take Grier’s Maya Angelou over towering nightmare Madea any day. (Also, I made up that rumor.)
