"No one’s going to pay me to watch him anymore, so fuck that noise." Stephen Colbert finally breaks character and reveals how he REALLY feels about Bill O'Reilly.

Is it wrong that I found this so satisfying?

Two more shows and then we lose this amazing show.

Dammit! I said I wouldn't cry.

    I love him so much! And he truly is the nicest person ever--I got to ask him a question when I was in his studio audience and he even shot me one of those red wrist-strong bracelets after that.

      jk, he actually worked a song into his answer to my question. Then he sang the same song at the start of the show!

  2. I share your tears, Gryph-but we still have "Last Week Tonight" with John Oliver and I'm looking forward to Larry Wilmore's upcoming show. Good stuff. Don't despair! Love, Georgia

    1. Not all of us get HBO.

      At least I'll still have Jon Stewart.

      I'll see what Larry Wilmore does with The Nightly Show. (Brilliant new title. What else would fit?)

    There must be a lot of dust in that fog of war that magically absolves us of "the words" part of the report cause my eyeballs are sweating as well. I'll miss his show and wit a lot and when the tears dry, I'll remember all the good times I had watching him.

  7. Devout Catholics, both of them.

    Worlds apart in their super-powerfully compelling philosophies, thus the Catholic practice and designation. (Catholic means universal. More than half of the planet's 2-billion-plus Christians are Catholics.) Give it some thought.

    I thought he was replacing letterman

    1. He is. But Letterman isn't retiring until end of May 2015. Not sure if Colbert is ending the Report early to get ready for an immediate follow to Dave's retirement or there will be a further break.

      I hope Colbert keeps his people. His writers have been great and I'm sure they can transition to late night on a major network just fine.

  10. I hope he has something fabulous planned.

    Like, maybe, interviewing David Letterman for his last show of the Colbert Report....and interviewing David Letterman for his first show of The Late Show.

    It is going to be pretty hard to top that interview with Smaug, though. And the timing was perfect with those three TV mag covers.

    The Colbert Report and the Daly show is what kept me sane during the bush years. These men are intelligent and wonderful. BTW ALL of their FB "likes" are real, not like the purchased palin "likes" and "comments."
