Colbert Roasts Bush

[Krylanna]

I usually laugh a lot when I watch his show but this was nowhere near as funny to me

That's cause the studio audience wasn't laughing.

I actually liked this better than his show (although the show has gotten a lot better; when he first started his jokes weren't funny and he stumbled on his words a lot). That guy has got some cajones.

nah - I don't think it was that. I got the feeling he was trying to be more serious, ya know, rather than just lampooning things. I used to like the daily show a lot more too, and it went kind of the same way.

I don't think that Colbert's show has gotten any funnier; just that people are more used to his style of satire and can appreciate his brilliance.

He was funny on Strangers with Candy, he was funny on the Daily Show, he is beyond amazing on the Colbert Report.

I liked Stephen better when he was on the daily show. Rob Corddry is funny but he'll never be able to replace Stephen Colbert. I also don't like his style of humour on the Colbert Report that much. I mainly watch it just to see what todays word is.

I totally agree actually.

Sometimes it isn't about the humor, it's about telling your feelings to the president's face, and getting away with it under the disguise of being "just a comedian" Total brilliance.

I wish I could show that clip of John Stewart on that show...errr Hardball? Everyone expected him to be their for laughs, and he tore them to shreds, and proved that even though they may be comedians, they know what they're talking about. If I find the link I'll post it. XD

well in order to be a comedian that tells more than fart jokes, you actually have to have some intelligence, John Stewart and Stephen Colbert are both really smart guys who happen to be funny as well

I think we can all agree that those are two very different situations though. Stewart on crossfire; he was invited to a political talk show, who would expect him to be there for laughs? The hosts were being tools. Colbert at a formal function: invited to come and lampoon the president, just didn't turn out too funny.

Basically the whole vibe was just different from his show, which was a bummer.

[Anyway]

I was soooo hoping he would ask Bush if he accepted money from Jack Abramof (dunno spelling)

All the videos from that part of the dinner have been taken down on Youtube...

I did watch some clips of the dinner on tv and they were pretty funny.

Well to your first question everyone. You say the hosts are tools but they were the ones running the show. Look at the topics they listed from the beginning, all things they though Stewart would have easy material to go on (and I bet they aren't even the ones who decided the topics). I don't think anyone who worked on that show thought that he was going to rip into them and beg them to stop being theatre and start being news. Do you honestly think the producers got him on the show for that? Incase you didn't know they've had other politcal comedians on the show in the past (Al Franklein I think more than once). And those comedians come on, say stuff that are related to the topics, but mostly focus on the humor side. I think that's what everyone was expecting.

I actually found Colbert's talk to be funny. For one I think he stepped on dangerous water that no other comedian has done in the past at this event. And iono seeing Bush pissed as Hell says to me Colbert stuck a nerve where other's haven't don't you think? I find that hysterical. XD

But of course comedy is all opinionated, I could see why people wouldn't think it's funny. It's all good.

Well its one thing to be made fun of on TV, its another to be in person at a formal event and have a room full of people laughing at you. Honestly I thought it was hilarious and he made alot of good points that this current adminastration does not like to hear.
