OH. MY. GOD. "I'm doing you, Bill."

[Guaranteed]

I didn't think Stephen would do it. I thought it was just going to be an ass-kissing, and I even thought that was the best way to go. But, Colbert's appearance on O'Reilly's show was one of the most BRUTAL ASS-KICKINGS I've ever seen....seen Stephen Colbert hand out, I suppose. It was almost up there with the WH Correspondent's dinner, if it didn't meet it. Colbert nailed O'Reilly so many times, it was unbelievable. He even had O'Reilly's staff laughing.

Score one Colbert. NICE job, Stephen.

1. This sounds goood.

I'm TV-impaired & I'd appreciate details.

[Guaranteed]

2. It was fast-paced and very tense. But Colbert was awesome.

About a hundred double-entendres, just kicked the shit out of him.

[Guaranteed]

8. I mean, Stephen was CLEVER. It was like Oscar Wilde stuff.

Just totally outwitted him, over and over. Nasty, nasty.

[Ava]

3. I missed it

what time does it replay?

[Guaranteed]

5. Mmmm...two or three hours? Not sure.

But definitely don't miss it.

He's got a couple of his minions on, now, and they're doing their best to dismiss what Colbert just did to him.

12. I'm praying for...

You Tube!!!

[Initech]

19. Sweet! Will it be on Youtube?

I hesitate at the thought of watching that blowhard.

[Catshrink]

20. Question: Did O'Leilly realize what hit him?

did he play along? Was he clueless?

[Guaranteed]

25. Stephen was so quick...it was just like he was slicing him up.

O'Reilly didn't lose it or anything, but he couldn't keep up. Everything he said, Stephen had a snappy answer for.

[SpiralHawk]

21. O'Reilly proved that he is a pathetic, unimaginative republcion mouthpiece

He can't think for himself. All he can do is spout the con talking points that get faxed to him.

How pathetically lame he was - is.

Colbert kicked his felafel-encrusted butt.

[derby378]

23. I secretly thought Colbert's appearance on O'Reilly would be a "Jump the Shark" moment, but...

...I think we just saw television history being made. Stephen handled himself brilliantly and deftly, and I'm just in awe of his performance tonight. It was exquisite.

[Olney Blue]

24. Someone please post the You Tube link in GD when it comes out!

[Suich]

28. Did you notice? Earl posted a link in Political Videos. n/t

:hi:

[mdmc]

33. where!

?

[theboss]

26. I'm not even sure what that was supposed to be?

Was it funny? Ironic? Ironically funny? Just Performance Art?

I realized three things from that:

1. Colbert really really needs an audience. Otherwise, his deadpan just sort of lingers there.
2. O'Reilly is one of those guys who thinks he is hysterical but is really really unfunny.
3. Colbert needs a straight man at all times, and O'Relly was simply unwilling to do it. I don't think the character works as a guest. He has to be in charge. (A character like Borat simply cannot be in charge of anything in comparison.

Anyway, I think that would have been better if Colbert had broken character and just done a straight interview.
