1. His intro had me in tears...(nt)

[On the Road]

2. I am Not Thrileed with the First Episode

I love Steven Colbert's hits on TDS, but I don't believe he has it as a host.

4. parody

this is riffing on o'really.

hillarious.

5. are you kidding? it was hilarious!

6. DU seems to support this position - it won't last long.

I thought it was a decent start, but judging by by there being only a couple of positive posts it appears DU will let this show pass.

Witness this. Steve was much more political and inciteful and controversial than the topic of this post (Dolly Parton on Daily Show - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=5087620&mesg_id=5087620) - yet look at the number of replies to it (73 at this time) vs this one.

I rest my case.

8. what? see this thread: WITH HUNDRED +++++ POSTS

12. This must be the "me too" post

Mon Oct-17-05 11:33 PM, 3 minutes earlier, did not see it.

OK, I feel better.

9. I feel that way, too

Maybe I expected too much. I'll not give up on it yet and it did have moments of greatness. I'm not convinced after one show, though.

Time will tell.

[jsamuel]

11. convinced of what?

[MaineDem]

15. Convinced that it will be as funny as his segments on TDS

I'll continue to watch though.

[jsamuel]

16. hehe, ok, I think I just found a full hour of TV that I will love

so I am happy

3. Man, does that guy have gravitas!

The Stone Phillips - Colbert "Gravitas-up" was Cheneying hilarious.

[Beelzebud]

7. Watching the repeat right now. HILARIOUS!

It's like Bill O'Rielly on acid. :D

I love it.

[AlCzervik]

10. i enjoyed his "Truthiness"

[jane_pippin]

13. Didn't he say "feel the news AT you?"

I hate to be picky, but that part is what makes the line hilarious.

[paineinthearse]

17. Exccccccuuuuuuse me!

Sorry to have screwed up.

[jane_pippin]

18. Sorry. I really wasn't trying to pick on you, but that word pretty much

makes the joke. I didn't mean for it to be taken as a personal attack or anything. Sorry.

14. I thought it was great. I LOVED the gravitas competition.
