Man I just don't find any of the correspondents on TDS funny, and I usually just cringe whenever they interview someone. That being said, I laugh like a maniac during the standard news segment and Jon's interview at the end is generally hit or miss, depending on how into it the interviewee is.
I really only watch TCR when I come in this thread and I see two pages dedicated to how awesome the latest TCR is, since Colbert really has the one running gag when you get right down to it. Also Doom Bunker was cool, but I didn't really lol at it, so I dunno, maybe it's not for me either.

Or how funny the interviewee is.
Is it just me, or was last week pretty damn good for interviews? I especially loved Brian Williams...I hadn't seen him on the show before, is he always this hilarious?

Jon and him have sort of running grudge gag thing going on.
He's probably been on the show half a dozen or more times. They're all good laughs.

Colbert completely jumped out of character for the Hannity wag of the finger. I mean the line he delivered right into Rush's throat under the guise of Hannity saying it to piss Rush off.
You could see the serious anger in the guys eyes and hear it in his voice. I don't think I've ever seen him break character that bad before, and his way of stringing Hannity into Rush to call him a "lardass talk radio mind corpse" was confusing at best and was simply thrown together so he could deliver that entire line.
That being said, I agree with him. I love Colbert's satircal style, and he's a smart motherfucker to boot.

We also can't forget the running gag where Brian Williams' giant omnipotent head shows up on the screen behind Jon to tell his worldly wisdom.

I don't watch the correspondent segments almost ever anymore
I don't watch the correspondent segments almost ever anymore
My favorite TDS's go from news segments to interviews. The correspondent segments I'll check out online if there's sufficient buzz that they're worth it... but they usually aren't.
Sadly, the heyday for correspondent pieces was when Colbert, Carrell, DeGeneres, et al were there. These days, its pretty spotty.
As was mentioned, the Usual Suspects/Obama-Hitler one was pretty good though,
I would watch John Oliver do correspondent pieces all day long.
Yea, definitely, Oliver always knocks it out of the park (especially when hes trolling people at a convention or some other sort of event). Wyatt Cinac is also usually pretty great.
I agree, the heyday of TDS was like 03-05, when you had Jon and then the fantastic correspondents to back him up. Now, the non-Jon segments tend to drag if Wyatt Cinac, Larry Wilmore, John Hodgeman, or John Oliver aren't doing it.

To be fair, those four guys do an awfully large proportion of the non-Jon segments.
I don't like Wyatt Cenac as much as most people do. His delivery just feels a little unnatural to me.
You know guys, I always smile when they have Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream ice cream at the market. It's not often that they have it... but when they do, it never fails to cheer me up.
And I always buy one because it really brings the deliciousness/truthiness.
By the way, the Firefox spellcheck on "truthiness" defaults to "mouthiness". :P
By the end, yeah. And his post Daily Show career has been incredibly annoying, but when Jon started hosting he was pretty consistently funny.
I don't remember his TDS tenure at all, I guess because I didn't consistently start watching TDS until Indecision 2004.
The most that I know Rocca from are his appearances on Iron Chef America on Food Network. Sometimes he can say something genuinely funny, but it's obvious that he tries too hard and makes terrible jokes that just fall to the ground with a loud thud. It seems like he comes on as the celebrity non-food judge and for that reason, everyone expects him to make the funny so he tries too hard to make jokes.

Man if you weren't watching TDS during the 2000 elections you missed some quality shit.
Especially the night after the election.

Wow
I'm speechless. Jon's (new) segment on Kramer and Bear Stearns was brilliant.
Colbert really changed fast. His opening sequence was what, 20 seconds?
Er, they can pre-record that you know...
Beat'd by an hour.
Although he does do the show in one sitting, so it's not hard to imagine him running off to change so the audience doesn't get bored. When I was there for the taping, everything was in realtime.
Seriously though, I'm kinda glad that the biggest problem so far is the administration's inability to give worthwhile gifts to foreign dignitaries.
But seriously, I did facepalm when Obama got that amazingly historic gift from Brown and we gave him...some DVDs.
I mean, at LEAST give him Blu-Ray, sheesh.
It was like they didn't buy anything, saw what Brown had brought, and then just started opening deks draws in the West Wing to grab whatever was to hand. Do better next time, guys. Maybe you could give us Hawaii.
...does all the people talking about tonight's episodes confuse you?
No, my DVR's lack of recording the show confuses me. Hmm, I'll have to look into whatever caused that.
