if you don't understand that shows like "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" are 100% satirical then you need to cancel your cable provider.

To be honest, I'm a bit surprised at the level of censorship by some of the mods,

although I'm not surprised by how serious they sometimes take themselves.

I would imagine you do have to take a lot of flak, and I commend you for sticking with it.

I'll do my best to curtail my desire to speak freely in future when posting on your modded boards Mr Libra.

No, I don't believe you do, yet.

Why did they tape an interview to be aired on august 22nd? I was under the impression that each show was taped the day it's aired, which definately is the case unless they have a time machine.
I guess maybe they air interviews on different dates sometimes? Or maybe they just are waiting to air this one because of what happened?
I dunno, just a question I had.

I'm stamping this event with Colbert as PARODY and will place it in the library right next to my Andy Kaufman / Jerry Lawler tape.

First thing I thought of was Jerry Lawler slapping Andy Kaufman out of his chair on Dave Letterman's show. I saw that when it happened, and brutha it was a real slap. Turns out, much like a lot of Kaufman's existential dadaist schtick, it was a put-on. Oh, he really got clobbered, but he and Lawler were in on it. Letterman was clueless, and it was hysterical.
I'm not so sure Colbert & Branson could realistically pull that off, and even though Comedy Central is saying "it was all in fun", I'm thinking Branson just went for it.
And in the grand scheme of things, given the "no harm - no foul" rule and the big $ publicity $ around it, I'm sure all is forgiven.
Next week, Trump will be on the show to set Colbert on fire.

I hope it was fake, I can't imagine someone wanting to be mean to Stephen. It hurts my heart.
I'm suprised that the people in the audience didn't attack Branson. All of us Colbert fans are kinda protective of Stephen.
