Entering the thread to have your post be the first one I see, outside of pronoun-clarifying context, was viscerally terrifying.

I hate to be a whiney asshole but if they could get their fucking ads figured out? That'd be great.

Having ads kick in the middle of a god damned segment is extremely old.

To the point where I don't even care about the Jon Beck segment anymore because even though I'm sure it's hilarious after four tries?

I still can't fucking watch it

I am surprised Colbert didn't immediately have a Muslim imam come on and talk about being a Muslim.

In fact, I think Colbert should have a Muslim figure come on every night he decides to be Muslim. Would make for a great conversation piece, and some defusing to Muslim tensions. Also, a way of sticking it to Terry Jones.

I think it'll get a passing mention, but unless Beck does something really crazy, I don't see them revisiting it. It would be incredibly hard to top the last one, which did feel like an all-out finale to the parodies.

Or the beginning of 2012.

dun dun DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN

Why do you think Beck is leaving his gig at Fox?

Answer: to hide in his 2012 Tsuquakecanonadocanelocust-proof bunker until the apocalypse.

Spoiler:

It also protects against SOCIALISM since it's constructed entirely out of Glen Beck's gold.

Ironically the only real use that gold would have after the fall of everything.

Didn't you hear the man?

He's leaving to fight in the revolution.

I hope he picks the Libyan one; that will turn out nicely.

You could always watch it in Firefox with adblock plus installed.

JustinSane07

AdBlock Plus does nothing to fix the problems with the TDS/TCR web player.

Henroid

Business as usual for the media outlets in their manner of covering things. Also, how do you not support a good deal struck? Fuck the tea party.

TubularLuggage

Foo Fighters! Fuck yes!

Henroid

This is the first time I've given a shit about a musical guest being on the shows.

Henroid

I missed the full quote of that guy saying "the Republican people" instead of "the American people," can someone spell it out in full for me?

Jephery

I have no problem with more Futurama reruns.

Colbert should have started the show with "Good news everyone, the government didn't shut down!"

That Mike Pearce is a fucking pure asshole of the greatest magnitude? He makes Dan Quayle look humane.

Also makes Dan Quayle look like a genius.

Pence quote from thinklrogress

Spoiler:

Last night, Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN) appeared on Fox News to explain his uncompromising position over funding the federal government. At one point, Pence appeared to let the truth slip out about the true aims of Republican negotiators, telling host Greta Van Susteren that what Republicans are trying to do is score a victory for “the Republican people.” Soon after realizing that he said that out loud, he backtracked, saying that he wants to score a victory for “the American people,” not the Republican Party:

PENCE: Well, I don’t know if we’re checkmating. But we’re trying — we’re trying to score a victory for the Republican people, for — for the American — for the Republican people — trying to score a victory for the American people, not for the Republican Party. That victory is going to come in stages here.

Henroid

Colbert almost lost his composure during the whole middle segment. Sooooo close. I love it when that happens.

What Henroid said.

Nice to see Jon calling people on their shit.

I expect to see Maddow do so... err, more.

Annnnd that'll be enough reporting on THOSE details.

Henroid

I expect Maddow to be aggressive in trying to get the guy on her show and asking him directly about it. She's that kind of person and it's why I respect her. We'll see though, eh?

Mike Pence would never go anywhere near a smart woman, let alone a smart lesbian.

Republican leadership is smart enough to not go onto 'hostile' programs, in general.

Hey so a new hashtag meme has started on Twitter.

I am the Lindbergh baby. Waaaaaaaaaah #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement

deowolf

Kinda expected a little more out of Adam and Jamie, but you could definitely tell Adam wanted to bite more on the evolution myth testing.

Too bad he's a puss. #NotIntendedToBeAFactualStatement

Gosling

I recall him bringing it up himself in interviews earlier in Mythbusters' history, that evolution is something he'd love to be able to tackle one day but probably isn't going to get the chance. Given sufficient time, he'd have been all over it for days.

Then again, there have been a couple they figured at one point were not something they'd be up for that they wound up doing. Taking candy from a baby, for example. 'We won't do it' is more like 'we haven't figured out how we would test it in a family show-friendly manner'.

deowolf

I thought they did candy from a baby. Maybe I'm remembering awesome dreams again.

edit: Ok, they did. My dreams seem less awesome, now.
