Stephen Colbert breaks wrist on set
40 minutes ago


NEW YORK - Stephen Colbert's disdain for all things left is growing.

The host of "The Colbert Report" revealed on Thursday night's show that he broke his left wrist while running around the New York studio before taping a recent episode. Colbert removed a large "No. 1" foam hand to unmask a small cast.

"I didn't want to draw attention to it. I didn't want to play on your sympathy," Colbert said before dramatically grimacing.

The fall happened June 27, before the show went on a two-week hiatus, a spokesman for Comedy Central said Friday. Colbert, 43, was only recently fitted with a cast.

"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how it happened," the mock right-wing talk-show host told his audience. "My director Jimmy is suggesting I might have broken my wrist ... before the show."

1. Too Cool! I believe "the man" who is known as Stephen Cobert is kind hearted,

although his character is "a right wing meatball." ;)

[aquart]

10. Well, I know for a fact he is.

He knows the name of everyone who works for the Colbert Report and makes sure he talks to all of them. A friend works for the show. He got a brain tumor. It necessitated a lot of treatment and a lot of time off. And then easing back into work slowly. With the blessing and helpfulness of everyone there.

Colbert takes care of his people.

2. ??? Colbert sucking up to Bush**Co? Why would they allow him in there?

[JuniperLea]

5. I still think...

The RW is confused by Mr. Colbert... heh! They don't know what to think of him.

[AlinPA]

8. They were blown out when Colbert stuck it to Bush** at the correspondent's dinner.

[question everything]

18. In front of the cameras?

They have enough trouble without making it to all the late night shows and YouTube..

[JuniperLea]

3. I've never seen Mr. Snow look so...

Intelligent... reminds me of this guy...

[Gregorian]

7. That's right!

I guess that would make Bush his Baldrick.

Excellent.

Although I can't stomach Snow long enough to make a validation of your comparison. :)

[Swamp Rat]

9. and Dick as...

:D

[JuniperLea]

16. You never miss a beat!

Great stuff!

[elfin]

4. and here I thought it was a gag

..... that means he did the whole show with a broken wrist -- wish I had saved it on DVR.

How in the world did he get Snow to do this bit? It either speaks better of Snow than I would have thought or even slyer and better of Cobert than I had thought.

I go with the latter.

Look forward to tonight's show.

13. They don't really hurt until the doctors get involved. Then it's hell to pay.

At least mine didn't.

[alphafemale]

6. That's cute. But Whatta hell was the question?

Snow's certainly mugging it up.

[aquart]

11. Snow is having a great time. That's obvious.

[rusty charly]

12. snow has turned grey overnight, practically

[CatWoman]

14. even tho he had helmet hair

he was, at one time, a very attractive man (for a wingnut) :)

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

15. Tony is so grey. Reminds me of the Twin Peaks show.

Grey Overnight is what the Bush Administration will do to your hair. I feel bad for Tony. I hope he will be okay after all this is over.

Twin Peaks. from this

To This

17. There seems to be a run on broken bones among media pundits lately.

Keith Olbermann is probably just about recovered now from the stress fracture in his foot that he got in May. And I read that Nancy Grace has broken a foot too. Not that I have any great love for her but I do have to sympathize with a woman for having a broken foot while pregnant with twins.

It's funny, I think a lot of people who are not happy about how Tony Snow lies like a rug for a living like him as a person. Keith talks baseball with him in email all the time, he says.

19. Dead Man Walking...

every time I see him....
