Loved the “10 #%$@ing Years” “Presidential Montage” Got a kick out of Colbert popping out of the cake - would have loved to be in the studio audience to see exactly ow they pulled that off - timing-wise ---

Yes good one. And Dawkins mentioned the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Much as I hate to admit it, I think the FSM has out-competed the IPU. Actually that was an interesting interview since, while Colbert is certainly not a creationist, I think he is actually a believer, so he could interview from his real opinions for once. Dawkins did quite well, actually. And tomorrow is Ashcroft! ---

[/QUOTE] Is he Catholic in real life like his character is? My Mom said he rattled off the Creed at one point like he must have grown up with it. ---

Colbert is not only a real Catholic, but according to the issue of New York magazine that I have laying around here, he teaches Sunday school at a church near his home in New Jersey. I regretted missing this episode because I wondered what he’d do for his anniversary; I’ll have to catch it tonight in reruns. ---

The Zachary Taylor exchange with Stewart was great. “Too soon?” ---

I enjoyed the “10 F\*\*\*ing Years of _The Daily Show_” montage of Presidential references. And Jon’s Zachary Taylor joke was pretty funny…sort of. ---

I was surprised that Craig Kilborn showed up in many of the clips - I don’t think Jon has ever had him on the show. Is there bad blood there (still?). ---

_that’s_ his name - I couldn’t think of it What did Greg Kinear do before becoming a "movie star’? was it Talk Soup? ---

Was it just me or did some of the clips they showed have nothing to do with the president affiliated with them? ---

[QUOTE=gallows fodder] Was it just me or did some of the clips they showed have nothing to do with the president affiliated with them? [/QUOTE] Well, some of the clips were more relevant to the president in question than others. The most important thing was that every single U.S. president was named- except, as mentioned, Zachary Taylor.
