Randi just said that Stephen Colbert should win a Pulitzer Prize for

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

writing!!!!! She said she recorded it and hopefully she will be playing it!!! Yeah!!!!!

[Shadowen]

1. No, no.

It's the Pulitzer for writing.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. Thank you! I corrected it! eom

[Shadowen]

15. Actually, I was critizing her choice of words.

Not yours.

That is, she said Nobel prize, but she should have said Pulitzer.

17. lol! I was so excited that when you wrote what you did I thought I

misheard in my ehtusiasm! Oh well! And yes! He should win a Pulitzer and a newly created Nobel Prize for Bravery!

2. Yes, the 2006 Nobel prize for...

[Gabi Hayes]

19. ha ha HAAAAA! Now, if you can only

colorize those two balls to a brassy sheen

[Richard Steele]

20. Nah. I've never found BRASS to be all that impressive.

Maybe it's a family trait.

Sincerely,
Richard. :evilgrin:

3. No doubt his whole staff, plus Jon Stewart should win

I'm sure they all had input.

[robbedvoter]

4. Good point!

[cyberpj]

7. You know I sometimes wonder of Jon feels left behind now. nt.

[tridim]

9. I think Jon has his eye on a network gig

My guess is that Colbert flips and turns Liberal after FR and Daddy O'Reilly bash the hell out of him for his speech, then he takes over TDS when Jon leaves. I've been writing his "transformation" in my head since Saturday night. :)

12. neat

could happen

[SoCalDem]

13. I predict that Jon will take over for Dave Letterman

Good and bad for us..he will be constrained a bit, but Jon's a sly one (like Dave) and having a larger audience will work for him..

and Jon could even revitalize the show. It could end up being like The Tonight Show was in the beginning. They used to have 'regulars' and sketch comedy was a big part of the repertoire. Jon has a cadre of talented people who would go with him in a heartbeat.

I think Dave's getting more interested in time off with his son and in racing. He doesn't seem to be enjoying the show as much these days.. I think he'll retire soon. I wqill miss him, but if Jon;s the new guy, I will also rejoice:) He would beat the pants off Leno and/or Conan

[Shadowen]

16. Hey, don't knock Conan.

That being said, Jon would beat the pants off him if he were tapped to replace Ferguson. Or Leno, if he replaced Letterman.

[SoCalDem]

18. I don't think it will be Ferguson.. He's not "mainstream" enough yet

I think it will be Jon.. he's already in NYC and is well known to young people.. CBS has always "suffered" from "old-age demographics" , and will probably NEED a young guy. They want the late night show to run for a long time, and grow an audience. Jon could do that. He's polite enough and well spoken enough to hold the older viewers, since his sense of humor is very "Dave-ish" and yet he's cutting edge enough to bring the younger people in too..

No matter what Leno's age is/was, he's always been more appealing to the older folks..:( (He played it too MOR)

[NYCGirl]

14. He's an executive producer of the show. I don't think he feels left out.NT

[TheUnspeakable]

5. Medal of Freedom!!!!!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

8. He should also get the "Profiles In Courage" Award!!!!!

[KAT119]

10. Even a NYC ticker- tape parade for our Hero!!!

11. My favorite Colbert line of all time:

"Bill O'Reiley wants a Peabody Award that bad, he can have mine" (said while abruptly and arrogantly setting his award on the desk in front of him)
