"Haha...Haha...Haha...FUCK YOU!"
Thank you Jon, wanted to say the same thing at that moment.

 

[explodet]

God damn it, I can't help but laugh when Knoxville gets his ass kicked.

All hail the Ur-Lord of the Afterscape.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Oh, and by the way, Ius Primae Noctis, the law letting Lords sleep with a newlywed's wife didn't really exist.

Colbert is a class act.

I want to see her throw the emmy.



edit: Whoa, Inigo!

 

[Tamanon]

I'm 95% sure the guy in the Smokey the Bear suit on the Daily Show was "The American" from the Bugle podcast.

I would concur with this. But who is that anyway?

 

[cdyhybrid]

Oh my goodness Colbert, I'm dying.

 

[maeh2k]

I'd say it's about time they give the Report another Emmy

 

[Milchjon]

"The two parties are at a stalemate, but luckily, the GOP has one of the stalest mates of all, Indiana congressman Marlin Stutzman".

Had me in stitches.

 

[Keasar]

I seriously hope they just mailed another Emmy with the note "Its an easy choice for next year." to Colbert. That was absolutely awesome.

So was there anything real about the Wedding segment? I'm honestly not sure.

 

[Tamanon]

Wikipedia tells me it's Rory Albanese, one of the Daily Show writers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rory_Albanese

Was arrested on September 27, 2010 for misdemeanor assault involving a 9/11 conspiracy theorist outside of a venue at which Jon Stewart was appearing.

Ha! That sounds like something the American would do.

So was there anything real about the Wedding segment? I'm honestly not sure.

Of course. All real. (though I think the bear might have been fake and it's not quite clear if they are legally married now)

http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2013/10/04/colbert-hosts-shutdown-wedding/

The groom said he got a call from a Colbert producer on Wednesday afternoon while he and Ms. Le were at the Jefferson Memorial taping another TV interview.

Were they interested? He turned to ask his fiancé. “She just started jumping up and down screaming ‘yes, yes, yes,’ ” he recalled in an interview Friday morning as he was en route back to Washington. “So I got back on the phone (and said) ‘she’s jumping up and down so I think we’re a go.’ ”

As it happens, Ms. Le is a huge Colbert fan. (And Mr. Cassesso is a huge Mandy Patinkin fan. “When I was a kid I made my parents watch ‘The Princess Bride’ every day for five years.’ “)

They invited their close family and friends to be at the “wedding,” but couldn’t tell them why because the show wanted to be sure it was a surprise. “We just said ‘don’t ask us questions because we can’t give you answers, but we need you to be in New York Thursday morning and you are going to be very happy with why.’ ”

“The whole experience was completely surreal,” an exhausted Ms. Le said Friday. “I kind of floated through it.”

Fun fact: They watched the show on their phones Friday morning because the hotel the show put them up in did not get Comedy Central.

The couple didn’t want to answer questions about whether they were legally married by Mr. Colbert. The couple is to be married on Saturday, as planned, though not at the Jefferson Memorial as the government remains closed.

I meant more along the lines of are they legally married, not 'wtf did I just watch'.
That article makes it seem like no they aren't

 

[Buckethead]

Was Clooney censored on your guys' cable?

O-O

I lost my shit completely at the Jason Jones bit. So fucking good.

 

[BigJonsson]

He needs to make this his new thing

 

[SlowRevolution]

I lost my shit completely at the Jason Jones bit. So fucking good.

He's been killing it lately.

 

[JDSN]

Is the hostage guy an actor? His delivery of everything he said was amazing, reminded me of Gary Cole.

Edit: I cant stand listening to Malala Yousafzai for more than 5 minutes without getting shivers, seeing a young person speak like that is humbling.

 

[gabbo]

He needs to make this his new thing

He's been doing it for a while now, so i think it might just be.

 

[inm8num2]

Tonight the internet will be on blackout as Michael Fassbender makes an appearance on TDS.

 

[CF_Fighter]

As a teacher that Malala interview was amazing. I wish more young people viewed education the same way she did. But, as she said "We don't learn the importance of anything until it;s snatched from our hands."

 

[minor effort]

I lost my shit completely at the Jason Jones bit. So fucking good.

Jason Jones in-particular has been on a roll lately, but I really appreciate how they're not even entertaining the GOP talking points on the shutdown with their usual schtick. It's come to just calling these people out to their faces.

 

[CF_Fighter]

Colbert's segment on the Fox News-atorium was great.

News Falcon, away!

Any excuse to bring out the wind tunnel eh Colbert?

But I just can't get mad at kittens on iPads.

O-O

I watched on the web but nope

 

[Messofanego]

Man, Stewart was pretty angry today about the Republicans' bullshit justifications for refusing Medicaid in their states. Good. This would make my blood boil if I was living there and had to deal with this.

By today you mean last week?

 

[Messofanego]

Doh, well yeah last week.

I feel like Aasif must've been keeping that zinger for a while and could be used for many occasions:
"Are you sure the problem is really [insert demonised group]? Because it might be reactionary fear-based rhetoric and the inability to come up with middle of the road solutions for complex problems."

 

[Shard]

Okay, that may have been one of the most amazing segments The Daily Show has ever done.

 

[grandjedi6]

Kristen Schaal's segment on Halloween costumes was amazing. Even Stewart couldn't keep it remotely together.

Jon was not even remotely expecting that.

 

[B-Dubs]

Jon was not even remotely expecting that.

I don't think anyone could have kept it together during that :lol

 

[gabbo]

I don't think anyone could have kept it together during that :lol

You've obviously never seen one of these up close like this.

 

[BigJonsson]

That segment was great but I laughed harder at comparing Sara Palin and the Tea Party to Gremlins

 

[Nopren]

Does anyone know how to get the colbert report video where he dances to "Get Lucky". I can't find anywhere to see it, besides watching camera footage of someone filming their tv.

Wow, they took it off the official site? That's kinda lame.

 

[Tamanon]

Weird, the link is on the official site, but with a notice that it's no longer available....hmm.

 

[bobbychalkers]

....holy shit........

 

[Milabrega]

WOW. Aasif Mandvi's best piece since Simplot.

 

[Htown]

THAT SEGMENT WAS MAGICAL

 

[Beelzeboss]

I'm not feeling too great after seeing all that.

 

[grandjedi6]

Voting makes you gay!

 

[ActStriker]

Holy shit at Aasif Mandvi's segment.

 

[Shadow780]

That seems unreal, what the fuck are these guys running the government.

 

[Tamanon]

I think my favorite part of that segment was how he mentioned white people as "it could hurt white people", but then for black people he said "it could also hurt the lazy blacks who want the government to give them everything".

The man's a good ol' fashioned racist.

 

[canoli2006]

So what was with the inside joke at the beginning of last night's show where Jon turned to the wrong camera?

 

[gabbo]

...That was... ... The interviewees aren't usually that willing to dig their own hole on camera. Good on Aasif
