Colbert Report

Mar 03, 2006 01:13

Stephen Colbert has been totally on target this week. Between the religion special Tuesday night and the segments on the Oscars (the DaColbert Code!, and avoiding Brokeback Mountain) and D&D online tonight, I am highly impressed. On Tuesday, he recited the Nicene Creed (the list of tenets of the Catholic Faith) in about one minute, maybe 1:30. It was reminiscent of speed-talking competitions I used to have with classmates in (Catholic) middle school. "Dare you to say the Creed three times fast!" "Apostles'?" "No! Nicene!" (OK not three times. But as fast "as you can" was definitely done.) Many of these segments are actually available on the Comedy Central Website, at least for the near future. Awesome power.

No fury from this nerd tonight, just icon homage to my hero of the week.

tv, amusing
