There’s a new Q&A with Stephen in Rolling Stone, and inevitably the question of religion comes up. Makes me think I really need to get back to updating things more regularly here.
Stephen Colbert on Religion
Would your family all sing carols on Christmas Eve?
Sure, we’d process through the house, and we still do it. My family [...]
Stephen’s still objecting to the Vatican’s efforts at going green. As usual the clip has a delicious mix of irreverence.
Catholic Colbert has not fallen into a black hole after all. Last night’s interview with Peter J. Gomes has roused me out of oblivion. I’ve been a fan of Professor Gomes since he published The Good Book.
Watching him nudge Stephen out of character last night was simply delightful. The premise of his book is that [...]
Mea culpa! I’ve been away from here too long. I do want to do a collection of the Obama Church Search clips, but in the meantime, Thursday’s show had a segment on the threatened split in the Anglican church over ordaining gay priests. I love the way Stephen captures the irony of the Anglicans looking [...]
RL deadlines kept me from blogging last week, so I’m going to pull everything together today, beginning with friend-of-the-show Fr. Jim Martin’s visit last night. He does have a knack for breaking Stephen out of character!
Here’s the clip from last Wednesday. At least when Stephen crosses the line of decency, it seems he has the [...]
Stephen brought in Bill Donohue, head of the Catholic League, to rage at Rev. Hagee’s endorsement of John McCain. Sort of like a professional mourner?
Also, a housekeeping note on the site. The Motherload videos are no longer working, so I’m in the process of upgrading the links to the new Colbert Report website. The site [...]
No one goes from the sublime to the ridiculous quite as quickly or gleefully as Stephen Colbert, and last night we saw a great example of that. After last week’s moving tribute to his writers, this week he’s accusing them of murder and telling the world what he claims Catholics have always known but just [...]
You have to know your audience when you’re setting up a metaphor. On Monday’s show, Stephen was talking to the governor of South Carolina about the confederate flag that flies outside the statehouse and whether it represents slavery.
The governor said, “It’s like the crucifix. It doesn’t have Jesus on it, but for alot of folks….” [...]
The marvelous folks at No Fact Zone have once again worked their web connections to get a heads-up on the upcoming feature in Parade magazine this weekend. I sometimes feel like I’m just following in their wake, unworthy to unfasten their collective sandal strap.
Humility aside, I gleaned some of the best quotes the [...]
