Jon's glass-breaking skit was pretty hilarious. I love it when he does those things.
I was not expecting the bottle and it seems the audience wasn't either. The glass was obvious, but that freaking big bottle just shattering? That was great.

Colbert completely dropped character when Eleanor Holmes Norton offered him the key to the city. I don't think I've seen him shocked to the point of completely losing it before. His voice changed, facial expression, everything.
I hope he gets it, too.

The best line out of the Daily Show from Wednesday was, "You're not these guys, these victims of a goose drive-by, you're this dick, who thinks it's funny to go parasailing in a hurricane!"

I love the bits he does like that, particularly the "I'm just going to quietly sip this glass of wine while watching the news" -> *idiocy* -> PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTWINE EVERYWHERE.

Well, Jon just kind of vented in that interview. Barely let Sununu (sp?) speak, and talked over him.
More that the wanted to attack generic Republican/GOP platform rather than get bogged down in specifics or individuals.
Yeah, I never saw two people who so angrily agreed with each other about almost every point.
It was more like
Sunnunu: GOP talking point
JS: But <common sense psuedo-populist point that contradicts talking point>
Sunnunu: Yes thats why <slightly modified talking point or excuse, ie Fannie Freddie>
JS: BS!
Sunnunu: I agree with you!
I thought it was weird that Jon (and especially the audience) though he had made a big point when he said "so you're arguing for government regulation," since that's exactly what Sunnunu said at the beginning.

Personally, I loved the one after that bit:
"I'm just going to watch the news" -> *idocy* -> *Gets out glass & bottle and pours himself a glass* -> *drinks* - > PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTWINE EVERYWHERE.

Or when he starts drinking the bottle of Jack... and drinks and drinks until there's nothing left.

You could tell that she was having trouble too. I wonder if she decided to pretend to be taking him seriously before the first interview of she really got worked up and they called her to ask her to be his nemisis afterward.

I've only been watching for a year and I don't get the woman. I've seen her before but why does she hate Colbert. Like really hate.
He had her on Better Know A District and challenged her district's right to exist, I believe.
Basically the same as last night.
Yeah, but he's joking and she's serious. Or a very good actor. I mean you would have to be seriously dumb to think Colbert is for real.
She can't actually hate him. I've seen her laugh at some of the more over the top humor, and she KEEPS SHOWING UP. If she hated him, she'd stop answering phone calls. Instead she seems to actually dig the character interaction.

Yeah she is definitely in on the joke and playing off him. It doesn't take THAT much acting skill to be able to pull off "being indignant toward the blowhard."

And I must say that I'd make sure to ask whether they'd like me to pretend I thought he was a former radio host or acknowledge the shtick.

Then goes *pft*.
I love it when he does these sort of gags. I remember one that where he was eating a little ice cream on a cone, they go to the story and some hilariously ridiculous thing happens, they come back and Jon Stewart's sitting there with a like two gallon tub of Ice cream, mint chocolate chip smeared over his face, just scarfing it.
That gag is a staple of the show, damn if it doesn't get me everytime.

Being on Colbert's show has probably put forth more interest in her issues than she could have ever managed being a vote-less representative. She appears on the show because it raises awareness of her cause and might lead someone else to talk about the issue. Who else is going to have her on? It certainly doesn't hurt, and she probably doesn't have much else to do.
I enjoy her animosity towards Stephen. If you came across someone that actually espoused his ideas, you'd probably act the same way.

I'm certain that Eleanor Holmes Norton originally thought Colbert was serious, because she was one of the first to appear on Better Know a District
But I'm sure that after that, she got the joke, and was just playing along. And she's really funny and quick witted, so it's always entertaining to see her and Stephen match wits, because you can tell he's having trouble keeping up
I really hope she gives him the key to the city. That would be so boss
The proper solution would be to rig a prop table so a giant key can be mightily stabbed down into it, then for Stephen to try and yank it out and fail to cries of "You are not worthy!".
Note that I rarely watch Colbert Report, and thus have not seen this particular back-and-forth, so this might not work given the details. It would, however, still be awesome.

The way he created his persona, that situation would have an infinite number of hilarious options.
The first Colbert/Eleanor Holmes interaction is priceless. Then again, pretty much all of his "Better Know a District" segments are unrelievedly awesome.
I personally got a huge kick out of his escalating Glenn Beck metaphors. "With the Brain Train a-comin', Glenn climbed on the tracks and strapped himself down."

I just love the way she says his name.
"Mister Cole-bert." It's always so stern and patronizing-sounding. I also like how she stays in character so well, but at the end she smiles and you can tell she's in on the joke.

Yes, he got them all right again.
