This is all so exciting. Maybe we'll get two competing rallies?

Probably goes without saying, but I loved the Strangelove segment.

I really hope they organize smaller meetings around the country, and I mean everywhere. I live out in the middle of nowhere.

Spoilers for the Colbert Report's announcement:
Someone found a website which seems to be announcing a competing rally (Which I totally called earlier in this thread). It's right here. This is going to be awesome, but I hope they don't actually split the events. Maybe place an Odd Couple line down the steps of the Memorial.

The Comedy Network (in Canada) is pissing me off. We get new episodes of The Daily Show at 10pm now, which is great... but we're getting reruns of Colbert?
Eh? Is the Daily Show popular in Canada? Just seems strange that a comedy show focusing on American politics would be popular there. The show is consistently funny though and I guess our politics prove to be endlessly entertaining and impact a littlelunarworks said:

Canadians like satire, but probably since the early '00s The Daily Show has been the only option.
Besides, Canadians are so desperate for attention that media people here like to bring up that Samantha Bee and Jason Jones are Canadian. :lol

I just threw up in my mouth a little.....
And what media people are these? Unless you're talking about the trash that is E Talk and ET Canada? Those shows are pathetic and poorly conceived.firehawk12 said:
Exactly. The trajectory of U.S. politics has an enormous influence on Canada and the rest of the world. Some of us are pretty aware of what's going on. But the big thing is that no background is necessary to laugh at bigoted politicians, idiotic presidents, and FOX News. It's a zoo. A zoo that has a big hand in determining the world's future. There's also a heavy focus on international issues and with a very global outlook. It's easy to relate to the frustration, regardless of nationality.Pastry said:
And I'm a major in PoliSci (IR) so I'm an even bigger fan than most.
The Colbert Report is a bit different. When they do "Better Know A District", I don't care about the congressman whatsoever. But Colbert is a genius and can make just about anything funny.

That's a pretty big difference than constantly trumpeting that they're Canadian. Why wouldn't the interviewer bring it up for their listeners? It's quite relevent.

Is it over? They don't seem to be discussing immigration now, and I don't see Colbert.
