One of the camera guys at The Colbert Report has photos of cats taped all over his camera. Just thought the world should know that.

They have empathy for things that affect them, but have a hard time seeing the picture that other people are suffering.

I saw Jon and Stephen in Montclair last Friday.
I’m not going to write a long post
since I’m already doing that for the film festivalbut here’s what you might like to know:
- Evie introduced them — a murmur of comprehension went through the crowd as she said her last name — and called their comedy “part teenage-boy stupidity and part razor-sharp satire.”
- What Jon wrote in Stephen’s copy of Naked Pictures of Famous People: “To Stephen: please don’t hurt me. Jon Stewart.”
- Jon faced a lot of resistance to his ideas when he first became host of The Daily Show. He had to be “talked off a moderately-high cliff.”
- Jon’s recurring theme: Jews. Stephen’s recurring theme: Lord of the Rings.
- Both of them did an excellent job of cracking each other up and complimenting each other. Jon said it was “nice to have a brother in the business.” D’awww.
- Lots of good questions from the audience. I asked if Stephen thought his fake presidential campaigns (and they did tease me a bit for the word “fake,” but I deserved it) followed in the footsteps of Pat Paulsen from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. I’d just watched clips of it in my TV History class a few weeks ago and wanted to find out if they were connected. Stephen’s answer: “I love Pat Paulsen!” Jon’s answer: “No, no, no, no. Pat Paulsen was playing checkers. [Stephen] plays chess.” Can’t say I expected such a strong reaction from Jon!
- Stephen’s favorite election moment: Obama getting re-elected. Jon’s favorite election moment: the Clint Eastwood/empty chair conversation.
- They are positively electric when they’re in the same room together.
Want more deets? I’ll post a link to my MFF blog post when it’s published.
