The Colbert Report
 

Does anyone know if and when this might get picked up in Canada. My husband and I were looking forward to watching the debut last night after the Daily Show, but, alas, the Comedy Network is not yet airing it. Not sure if it might have followed the Daily Show on CTV - couldn't stay up that late.

Monday was the debut, and it was very funny.

Stone Phillips was a major guest, and he was funny too.

Suspect this will hurt Letterman/Leno, but it's also repeated at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm - so you can see two of the three.

Hope they can keep up the level of writing.

Its also repeated at 8:30 pm as well right after the Daily Show repeat at 8...thats when I normally catch it.

It is a brilliant at the Daily Show with John Stewart.

Stone Phillips was more funny than Leslie Stahl...Cobert is a HOOT!

Definitely worth watching!

Just found out this week that the Colbert Report will begin airing in Canada on Monday (Nov 7) on the Comedy Network and CTV following the Daily Show.

The show segment with Kens Burns was great.

The critics are panning Cobert, but it has a lot of good parts.

Did anyone see the paddle he has in that bookshelf? It had the greek letters: Tau Gamma Rho...

I was sitting there trying to figure out what it stood for and I think they were trying to do The Colbert Report but someone needs to tell them that Gamma isnt the right greek letter to use.

Yay! Thanks for posting this. :)

Congratulations to Steve Cobert - winner of the Golden Globe Award for TV comedy

I was just watching The Colbert Report and I saw a paddle with Iota Gamma Rho letters. Anyone else see this?

i've noticed that before too

was that his fraternity? or someone's on the show?

i just started watching last week at the suggestion of a co-worker. the man is sheer genius! what better way to be news-savvy than to laugh about it at the same time!

I searched around the internet for those letters but I came up with nothing.

ummmm, it was "The Colbert Report" retard..... Gamma is the greek letter for C... alpha beta GAMMA!!!!

i saw a "best of the colbert report" dvd at bestbuy yesterday.

we just bought his book, but my son is hogging it! he says it is brillant.

so apparently you dont know your greek alphabet. Alpha is A. Beta is B. Gamma however is translated to G. there is no greek translation for C. although its stands to reason that is why they used gamma for his paddle, you should probably know what you are talking about before you call people retards

He could have easily used CHI which is like "CH" (We do Pi Chi for Panhellenic Council at my school). Or if he wanted to do it phonetically then he could have used Kappa. Ka is ka no matter how you say it.

I don't know that it must have a deep motive behind it. Either the person who made it didn't know better, or they consciously chose Gamma for some reason. Possibly because it looked nice and even those unfamiliar with the Greek alphabet usually know Alpha, Beta, Gamma
