He’s complaining that “there are no words in that prompter.” Rovzar: Having the cameras shoot the other cameras is sort of straightforward meta, as opposed to confusing meta like on The Daily Show. Kois: So it looks like he’s going to be funny and confused about the strike. Rovzar: You just want to start IMing me pictures of your baby, don’t you? Kois: No. Kois: God, it would be great if this was the whole episode.
Rovzar: He is actually seating people individually. Kois: I guess the revolution happened already.
Kois: Colbert’s no idiot he’s milking it, because then he has less dead air. Wow, Steven is getting like a three-minute standing ovation. He was, like, deeply emotionally ruined by it, or something. Rovzar: Yeah, in the article he is really actually not that funny about it. With the “t” pronounced, when he grew up in South Carolina or whatever Kois: So he just did it to be intentionally snooty? Awesome. Kois: No! Rovzar: It used to actually be COLbert. Rovzar: Did you read that GQ story about when he changed his last name at Northwestern? I loved that. We’re already laughing! He pronounced it the white-trashy way. “This is the Colber T Repor T.” Rovzar: HAHAHA. But below, here’s what Vulture editor Dan Kois and Intel editor Chris Rovzar had to say about last night’s glorious episode of Colbert: Since Vulture knows more about the nuances of the writers’ strike, they are hosting our conversation about Jon Stewart’s somber effort. In fact, The Daily Show turned out to be a bit of a tough act to swallow ( and follow as a lead-in, it must have cost The Colbert Report some viewers). As it turned out, the two shows weren’t all laughs and rubber faces. So we tuned in, AND, in a Daily Intel first, we IMed about it with our culturally superior colleague, the Vulture blog. Either that, or it was going to suck, which would also kind of be great, in the whole “this will get us a lot of mileage by the office soda machine tomorrow” kind of way. Last night, like you, we were thrilled to sit down and watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report as they returned from their WGA–strike-induced hiatus.
