Watching Colbert on 60 Minutes?

[burythehatchet]

I love this guy more every day.

[burythehatchet]

1. SHUT UP SAFER!

:rofl:

[Breeze54]

2. Lmao...yes!!

I think this is a repeat but it bears repeating, imho! :rofl:

[burythehatchet]

6. Really? the interview with Ahmeninijad was new.

Anyway, its new to me. :)

[Breeze54]

21. Yes but the Colbert interview I've seen before.

;)

[Cleita]

33. I think Mike Wallace needs to retire.

Ahmeninijad made an ass out of him. It could have been a good interview with a more skilfull interviewer like Christianne Amanpour, who probably should have done it anyway since she is Iranian, and would be able to pick up on the nuances. Also, he let his biases get in his way and didn't follow up on some things Ahmeninijad said about the holocaust never occurring. I think he should have questioned him more as to where he got those ideas and just how widespread that belief is in the Middle East.

3. Hysterical!!!!! nt

[TexasLady]

4. Ive been laughing non stop! n/t

[OzarkDem]

5. Yes, good!

[fujiyama]

7. Great interview

Some good clips from the show as well...

[Digit]

8. Brilliant!

I was glued to the TV!

[burythehatchet]

10. Amazing isn't it? I couldn't stop watching either.

He's become a real rock star.

[deadparrot]

9. Have to admit, it's weird seeing him out of character.

He seems like a great guy, though.

[annabanana]

11. He seems like a really sweet, gentle guy..

a polar oopposite of the character he plays..

[burythehatchet]

14. Probably just like OReilly

:lmao:

[burythehatchet]

12. Made me like him even more

seeing him as himself. Didn't know he lost both his parents when he was 10.:(

[calico1]

17. It was his Dad and two brothers...

in a plane crash. He said he would try to make his mom laugh after the tragedy. He is a very intelligent guy. You can tell.

[burythehatchet]

18. ah thanks, I misheard.

[Sugarcoated]

13. He's very, very smart.

Who could've known that Stephen Colbert would have a major role in taking the RW machine down.

[burythehatchet]

16. Satire is the most effective weapon for liberals

its a weapon cons will never have.

[Eric J in MN]

23. I enjoy "The Colbert Report" but I want us to have serious shows

...as well. I want to watch a nightly TV show hosted by Sam Seder.

[Breeze54]

26. I think 60 mins.

did a good job balancing 'the heavy' with 'the light' tonight.
It's good to end on a light note. ;)

[Sugarcoated]

28. It's interesting

liberal comedians are way funnier than Conservatives. Even decent comedians who switch over to the dark side, ie: Dennis Miller, not funny anymore.

[AspenRose]

32. Very, very true

Because Cons usually have no sense of humor....their idea of 'humor' is being vindictive and mean-spirited.

And they can't stand being made fun of, especially with the effectiveness, finesse and nuance satire provides.

Colbert makes it look easy.

[AlinPA]

15. It did not help O' Reilly, Hannity, and that crowd. Excellent interview.

To me it looked like Safer (or the producer) helped make Hannity, O'Reilly et al look like jerks.

[Sugarcoated]

19. It's not hard to do.

They don't need alot of help.
:+

[tuvor]

20. Is it a rerun?

I thought they interviewed him a few months ago.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

22. This interview is a re-run, but was great watching again.

[left is right]

24. 60 minutes reruns segments during the summer months

sometimes they update the story at the end of the segment. Both were reruns but not from the same original show

[achtung_circus]

25. They did.

BTW I love the image in your sig line. I quasi-collect pinup images, where's that one from?

[WinkyDink]

27. The Colbert segment WAS a repeat, yes. Never gets old, though!

[JNelson6563]

29. Question

Why do you have that pic of me in your sig line? ;-)

[tuvor]

31. Answer

I'll remove it if you feel it's invading your privacy.

By the way, do you have any more? :D

30. It is such a treat to observe wit, charm, intelligence. And his staff

also needs to be commended. I can just imagine the fun and the great jabs and ides that they come up with in their sessions. Eighty some on the staff? I thank all of them.
