Barack Obama Orders the Shaving of Stephen Colbert's Head
Stephen Colbert kicked off his week of U.S.O. broadcasts last night by attending boot camp to show solidarity with the troops stationed in Iraq, but that apparently wasn't quite enough, as Barack Obama ordered that his head be shaved. More »

Television's Mid-Fall Report Card
It is already October 15th! How did that happen? I guess you could say that the Earth rotated around the sun a specific number of times and that days winnowed into nights which bled into days and so on and so on in the circle game. I think that's it. So, how have we been spending these ever-marching autumn hours? Watching TV, of course! Lots and lots of TV. Some has been good (Mad Men, The Daily Show), some has been bad (90210), and some has just been puzzling (Two and a Half Men?). So as we approach the ever-important November Sweeps Week—when networks set their ad rates based on inflated, extraordinary episodes that don't actually reflect typical week-in, week-out quality—let's take a second to give a quarter term report card. How has television been faring, you know, quality-wise (because we already know that ratings are in the toilet)? We'll analyze after the jump.

A Colbert Report Report
The Brits Discover Stephen Colbert, Hate Fox News
A reporter from England's Telegraph is explaining The Colbert Report to his countrymen today. "The Colbert Report is news parody of the first order. The show's titular host offers a funhouse-mirror reflection of the bellicose Right-wing opinionisers of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News channel (among others) who dominate and dictate the political discourse in the States with lengthy and obnoxious opinion-slots that are somehow passed off as 'news'."

Stephen Colbert thanks Craig Newmark for killing the American newspaper
The rote nonanswers Craigslist founder Craig Newmark gives in interviews are normally snooze-provoking. But Stephen Colbert makes them hilarious. When Newmark humbly claims he sees no reason to make more money with his comfortable lifestyle, Colbert replies, "to rub it in someone's face." Colbert also plugs Newmark's latest attempt to change the world, the DonorsChoose charity, because of a program which submits donations in the name of presidential candidates. Who's leading? That's right, Stephen Colbert, master of the plug. -

The 'Colbert Report' Book Report
Variety reports today that Stephen Colbert has signed a seven-figure deal for a Colbert Report-esque book, to be published in September 2007 by Warner. Warner also published the Daily Show's disgustingly successful book America, for which Colbert was a contributor. Unlike America, however, Colbert's book will not have an illustrated component and it will be written mostly by Colbert, who is bravely rejecting the safety of his writing team. More »
