So, did anyone watch tonight? The interview with the representative from Georgia was awesome.

[EddieRuckus]

Colbert is hilarious, specially loved the bullet captions when he's doing "The Word" segment.

Agreed, that Georgian segment was hilarious

I would if it was on in Canada. Stupid Canada.

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Agreed. I was hoping This Week in God would go with him to his show.

And did that 'radio host' on last nights episode sound and look suspiciously like David Cross to anyone else?

[Guest fultie]

YES!!!!!!

I say yes so enthusiastically because when I saw the picture I was like WTF David Cross? ...then I saw the guy's name

[sahyder1]

Taken from Wikipedia's Colbert Report page:

"In a play on the feud between Bill O'Reilly and Al Franken, a liberal radio host named "Leiber" will appear on the show to torment Colbert. Colbert will be "at war" with "Leiber", who is constantly attacking Colbert's "lies", and Colbert will dedicate a portion of his show to debunking the hurtful slander perpetrated by this jealous rival. Some fans speculated that "Leiber" might be named for Jon Stewart, since Stewart's real name was Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz, until he legally changed it to Jon Stewart in 2000. It was later revealed that the character would be played by David Cross. Cross first appeared, in the form of voice and still images, as fictitious radio talk show host "Russ Leiber" in the fourth episode. He denounced Colbert as an "idiot", and went on to decry that Canada outproduces the U.S. in maple syrup."

[Guest fultie]

thank God that maple syrup thing was fake...

[Lord Nibbler]

This started in the UK recently, I think we get it the day after it airs in America (as with the Daily Show)

Can somebody (1) explain what's up with the WRISTSTRONG bracelets, and (2) tell me where I can buy one?

[TGC]

On the Colbert Nation website they can be bought, and they were created after Colbert broke his wrist last year.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yeah, he broke his wrist last year and hammed it for like.. two months? A month? What with being addicted to "painkillers" (that taste suspiciously like Smartees) and trying to get celebrities to pass Wriststrong bracelets on to more famous celebrities.
