First, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart never quite seem to get the end of show toss right, but Stephen clearly shows that he has feet of clay here (and no, I will never get tired of Keyboard Cat).
And any thoughts I had about not enjoying Comedy Central's new show Tosh.0 quickly faded away when I saw one of his recurring segments: Web Redemption. This week, Daniel tracked down the infamous Afro-Ninja and gave him a chance at redemption. Although apparently, it's not like life has been treating him bad.
Just a few random clips from shows that I've skimmed over in the past few weeks. Somehow, I forgot to post this clip from the season finale of SNL. Will Ferrel hosting (plus what might be Darrel Hammond's last show) gives them a perfect opportunity to revive Celebrity Jeopardy. As good as it's ever been.
This is a bit of an odd entry, especially if you've missed out on the Keyboard Cat craze. But for those that remember my discussion of it or have bore witness to it themselves, I'm sure you can appreciate Colbert Nation's take on it using an all too familiar injury. And just how much free time did Green Day have while they were at the studio?
And over at Colbert's sister show The Daily Show, John Oliver comes unhinged over the strangest of things. Really, I just appreciate this for the goofball antics that seem to occur between Oliver and Jon Stewart anytime they talk to each other.
For those who may have missed it, here's Jon Stewart's interview with famed astronomer and "destroyer of Pluto" Neil deGrasse Tyson. He's a bit ecclectic, but bor the record, this is the proper way to interview a man of his stature. You hear that D.L. Hughley? No implying the guy needs to get laid or anything stupid like that. And how do you still have a show on, anyway? But I fear I'm digressing. Here's Jon and Neil.
To be fair, the guy does seem a bit too thrilled that we may all be doomed in roughly 30 years. Shades of Jack van Impe. And while I'm at it, here's what led off the next night's show. Proof that good comedy doesn't require writers.
I might as well drop a Daily Show clip while I'm at it. You knew they'd have to take a different tack with the new administration, but the Daily Show crew is already finding adequate joke fodder.
