They way I see it, if anyone was still wondering if CNN is still a respectable news channel...
They should have just played the footage from the actual thing. Jon's jokes were terrible and only made it worse. HAHA MCCAIN IS OLD WHAT A CLEVER PHOTOSHOP!
Yeah, it was definitely a segment more suited to him just shrugging and giving a "WTF are they doing" look.
Wha?
I'm pretty sure that the Daily Show actually hired Anderson Cooper and did that entire bit themselves.
EDIT:
At least, that's entirely within the Daily Show's power these days.
That was the finest Better Know A District he's done in ages. Possibly my favourite since "Cocaine is a fun thing to do" and "Cocaine is a fun thing to do Part 2".
Oh, absolutely. Colbert got to do at least four things that I never expected him to do. Pulling a gun mid-interview with a congressman was among the less crazy!

The 1-888-OOPS-JEWEL bit I didn't see coming, especially involving the pre-guest. Quite amusing.

Jon stated, "Yes, we got Anderson Cooper to do that" after playing the clip of him sniffing the dogs for allergies.

I think they did have it, though exactly what the Prime Directive was all about wasn't really narrowed down until TNG, and even then they still didn't give a wording for it. I think Roddenberry knew what it was but didn't see the need until the less cowboy-ish days of TNG to define it; it was enough to know that Kirk was breaking the rules.
Aren't press secretaries pretty much just reverse transcription machines?
Depends on the quality of the press corps. With the modern press corps, yeah, that's not too far off. With a real press corps, they have to be able to lie and evade and what not with skill.

Dana Perino kinda reminds me of Sarah Palin, or more accurately vice versa (because I knew of Dana Perino first). Sure she's attractive. And?
The fact that the Pundit Training dude was probably for real is the reason why I generally avoid 24 HNN. Thank god for Brian Williams and the fact that I get BBC World.
I know what dude I am. I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!
Man they need to have Robert Downey Jr. on the one of these shows. Daniel Craig was pretty good though, I was surprised how reserved some of these actors are.
Yeah, the Bush clips were hillarious, and I really enjoyed the Daniel Craig interview. It felt very honest and down to earth, especially admitting that he was nervous being on the show. Not many interviewee's say they watch The Daily Show either, and he made a point about commenting on it.

First they came for the Muslims, and we said NOT TODAY, MOTHERFUCKER!

Well played, Colbert. Well played indeed.
Edit: oh man, challenging Fox 13 to a leg wrestling match!
wait, when did he say that?
During his mockery of the book Conversations with God, which apparently comments on the Prime Directive, given to Kirk, Picard and Janeway.
His incredulity at Janeway being on that list led to said comment.
I was under the impression that the Prime Directive was made as a "don't do what Kirk did" guide to future captains.
If he had it, he would have broken it. :P
Best line in a while.
Coulter: I'd listen to someone who had higher book sales than me.
O'Reily: So you'd listen to me?
Coulter: No.
O'Reily: I have higher book sales than you.
Coulter: No you don't.
O'Reily: Yes I do.
Coulter: No you don't.

She's not evil, she's the press secretary. Did you think Dee Dee Myers was a saint?
Being the press secretary basically means she's either paid to lie or know nothing. One of those is kinda evil.
Depends on the quality of the press corps. With the modern press corps, yeah, that's not too far off. With a real press corps, they have to be able to lie and evade and what not with skill.
She's the replacement of the replacement who replaced the replacement.
That's some Tropic Thunder shit right there.
But you didn't go full retard, so it's cool.

Or Dan Brown.
I'm probably not going to hear the end of this.
Huh? There have been 4 full-time spokespersons for bush, which would make his statement correct.
Ari Fleischer > Scott McClellan > Tony Snow > Dana Perino

Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
so painful but so funny
I dunno... kind of a disappointment.
Man, that was a glorious rant.
Speaking of which, Craig mentioned he knew Riggle from other programs. I thought he said CCTV or something. Did anyone catch what he said?
(Riggle has grown on me since his run with TDS.)

Fixed.
