Stephen Colbert gives thanks for 'Greatest Gift'
Stephen Colbert is happy the election is over so he now can get down to the important work: singing for his first Christmas special, “A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All,” airing tomorrow at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central. “I’m pretty damn excited about this Christmas special,” Colbert said. And who wouldn’t be? The hourlong show is not “The Colbert Report” with a Christmas tree and carols. Far from it. The storyline sets a sweater-clad Colber

Colbert Christmas Special To Benefit Charity, Involve Willie Nelson
Only Stephen Colbert could put together a Christmas special I’m remotely interested in watching. (Besides A Charlie Brown Christmas — that will never get old.) It’s either going to be an instant classic, or become as forgettable as that Election Night Special he had with Jon Stewart. Either way, you should consider tuning in for this one reason: There’s going to be a duet between Colbert and Willie Nelson. Called “A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All” — th

Following the tradition of Andy Williams and Bing Crosby, Colbert hosts his own holiday special in "A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All." The hour-long special airs Sunday at 9 p.m. EST and will on Tuesday be released as a DVD, complete with a Yule log of burning books. Clearly in the Christmas spirit, at the first mention of old holiday specials, Colbert launches into renditions of Williams' "Little Altar Boy" and Crosby and D

STEPHEN COLBERT COULD ACTUALLY BE THE PRESIDENT!!
If you lived in the Marvel Universe. :(Here's the good news: Stephen Colbert is running for president in the Marvel Universe. And, according to Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, the unhinged television superstar is gaining serious momentum. Here's the bad news: He's not doing the same in the real world. Mark Waid, TheAmazing Spider-Man writer who assimilated the faux newscaster/White House wannabe into issue No. 573 of the comic book, thinks we could use a Colbert presidency more than we could use a Pali

Why We Should Support 'Less Bullshit' Journalists Like Campbell Brown
Always looking for the next big thing in television news media — Katie Couric, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Anderson Cooper, Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and Mike Huckabee have all received the treatment — it appears we're ready to move on to our next nominee: Campbell Brown. The NBC veteran who left the network just a couple months after losing the Today show vacancy Couric left to Meredith Vieira, Brown signed with CNN and became a respectable, albeit benign and forgettable, asset.

Grier, Hughley Bring A Different Perspective
If Barack Obama’s ascension to the White House means change has come to America, isn’t it only fitting that change come to the art of skewering the news? Comedians David Alan Grier and D.L. Hughley would like to think so. Just as the Obama administration revs up for action, they’re headlining new prime-time shows that bring a much-needed black perspective to a genre dominated by the likes of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. On Comedy Central’s “Chocolate News,” Grier pl

Elvis Costello cannot be stopped in his sinister plot to take over the planet. It's apparently not enough that the New Wave pioneer (yes kids, before he earned his thick veneer of respectability he was once a rock & roll enfant terrible) can be seen just about everywhere you look -- here's Elvis duetting with Lucinda Williams on her new album, there he is performing on late-night TV with Jenny Lewis, hey, wait a minute...I've got Elvis in my breakfast cereal! In an apparent attempt to change the meaning

Peyton asks Mick for some more info about her parents' love story, and he's still acting all vague about whether or not he's her father.  I hope this mystery isn't dragged out for more episodes, because it's really not all that interesting.  They bond some more by listing off their top five albums of all time, which is about as thrilling as watching paint dry.  They both love Elvis Costello, so they must be related.  She wants him to swing by later to meet Lucas and share more stories ab
