You know a show is going to be stellar when the lead story is about Basil Marceaux.com. That man is so awesome. I’m wondering how many hipsters are wearing Basil Marceaux.com t-shirts in Brooklyn this week in this man’s honor? The chart showing the breakdown of Fox News black viewership was hysterical, mostly because they only times I’ve ever watched Fox News for more than a channel click is when I’ve been a captive audience at a restaurant or a Jiffy Lube. P.K. and his Neilson Mandela doll cracked me up. Stephen was so cute trying to hide the doll’s … um … issues with his script and coffee cup.
I’m a huge fan of the ‘Colbert Report’ but I think I’ll pass on the premium member perk of a threat choker. I’ve seen a lot of stupid stories from Fox News featured on the show, but Gretchen Carlson reporting about trained monkeys for the Taliban has got to be the absolute stupidest I’ve ever seen. Seriously?! Do they not have any kind of filtering checks and balances over there at all?! At least Stephen was kind enough to debunk the rumor, and had a new Gentle News styled opening graphic for the segment to boot.
What did all of you enjoy about the show tonight?
- So whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican or an Independent, you get out tomorrow and vote for Basil Marceaux dot com, and let him do his issues all over Tennessee.
- And Honolulu, I assume, will reciprocate by holding a dolphin rodeo.
- That holds true for all presidents, including George Washington. Did you know he isn’t even from America?
- I mean, documentation that nobody can deny, that nobody can deny.
- They tout their ratings so much, I’m surprised they don’t slap a blonde wig on them and give them their own show.
- Now, I’ve had my research team, best in the biz, break down those numbers. Of those 29,000 black viewers, it appears 45% are trapped in the waiting room of a Jiffy Lube, 7% are white people who just enjoy watching Fox news in black face, 25% Said Glenn Beck’s name three times in the mirror and his show appeared, and the remaining 23% is Juan Williams.
- In fact, the only way these sky-high numbers aren’t impressive is if you compare them to something.
- But I say, it could have happened to anyone whose producers can’t tell black people apart.
- Way to go no black people watching. Another voice of the civil rights movement silenced.
- Watchoo talking about, P.K.
- P.K.: Well, I’m glad you asked because we agreed that you would, stephen.
- P.K.: Make your show sound more appealing to an urban audience. Instead of “The Colbert Report,” how about, “Tyler Perry’s Colbert Report based on the novel “Push” by Sapphire”?
- If you’re not stockpiling ammunition, learning Mandarin Chinese, and cooking squirrel, I’m not doing my job. Mmm … Mandarin squirrel.
- Crack reporting, Gretchen. I’m sure your producers will reward you, hopefully with bananas and peanuts.
- I am sad to say that for the first time in hours, Fox News got something wrong.
- There are human rights, and there are American rights. At what point do the human rights of these people in these other countries get in the way of my ability to buy two dozen tube socks for $1.29?
- It’s true because I just said it. That’s called leadership, what I did just there.
Wait a second. Who is this black guy? Security!customer surveys
