another chapter in the handbook for exercises in futility
In a weird coincidence between Scott Thompson's appearances on Colbert and that Moment of Zen:

The name of the group came from Sid Caesar, who, if a joke didn't go over, or played worse than expected, would attribute it to "the kids in the hall", referring to a group of young writers hanging around the studio.

Comedy Central used to air reruns of Your Show Of Shows for a little while like 20 years ago. It was really weird how modern it was compared to most comedy from the 50s.

I remember that O'Reilly interview, it included a wonderful exchange that went something like:

Bill: Why do you host the show as your character?

Stephen: I don't. I host the show as your character.

He is the one guy on FOX News I don't think is acting. It's either not giving a poo poo or something is actually wrong with him. Something that might require a meeting with a neurologist.

In that Atheist in the Foxhole book Muto said Shep was the show that was the "cool kids" and he was one of the few non shitheads.

I think he just doesn't give a poo poo.

I meant to say, that scene from RoboCop just looked terrible. I hate when they add old music, no matter how good it is, to sci-fi movies.

It's probably the least terrible thing about that movie. It's a PG-13 remake of an R-rated action movie, and reviews are saying that it takes itself seriously in spite of having a crazy plot.

Oh yea, I doubt its the worst thing in the movie, but its just a pet peeve of mine. It's like the producers think that what they're making is low class, so they need to give it a boost and stick some classy old song in the film. Or they just want to inflict the lovely music tastes of a boring dad on us all (George Lucas putting a lovely motown esque song and dance number in Jabbas Palace for example. Nothing says boring dad trying to be cool like motown).

Colbert's ironically homophobic jokes are getting really loving old. That's really my biggest problem with Colbert: If you're doing something ironically, you're still doing it.

Why do you even watch Colbert then? He only has one joke and it is your biggest problem with the show.

Shep is the only person there I would legitimately enjoy sitting down to a meal with. He has a sense of humor, isn't a ridiculous zealot, and I think obviously doesn't care about whatever the corporate tone is and just has a good time following the news. Not to mention that he actually seems to give a poo poo when his production team cocks up like they did with that man committing suicide live on TV. His apology for that was pretty heartfelt.

Because it's on right after The Daily Show and it does go have a few really good things like the Shep Smith menu.
