2. I wonder who has more Peabodys?

Colbert or Franken? :D

[Inland]

3. The Peabodys are DEAD to Colbert!

It's run by radical tree hugging wimpy anti Bush losers! DEAD!

[htuttle]

4. You know, if Russ Lieber shows up, things could get VERY confusing!

[Inland]

5. I don't know that reference. nt

[htuttle]

6. David Cross character -- sort of a parody of Franken

Colbert versus Lieber == O'Reilly versus Franken



Please, stop supporting the big corporate kohlrabi farms!
-- Madison Independent Radio Host Russ Lieber

[Inland]

8. I've never seen that

I've seen Cross doing a different character.

mostly just audio, once in person.

9. This is how I covered it at SpeakSpeak News:

From a mass email from Air America Radio:

Al Franken will also be a guest on David Letterman Tuesday night and The Colbert Report (Comedy Central) on Wednesday.

Al Franken appearing on The Colbert Report has a twist to it. Actor David Cross has appeared on a few episodes of the TV show as fictitious radio host Russ Lieber, who is largely based on Al Franken.

Also, Al Franken has interviewed Stephen Colbert on Franken's radio show before the start of the TV show, "The Colbert Report." While Colbert plays a right-wing character on his TV show, during that radio interview Colbert was himself and not right-wing.
