If you recall, we reported last week that Stephen Colbert’s The Colbert Report abruptly halted production for two episodes, with Comedy Central offering now explanation for the hiatus of their satirical news program beyond the fact that it was happening because of unforeseen circumstances.

With very, very ambiguous reasoning, Comedy Central has abruptly cancelled production for at least the next two episodes of The Colbert Report, the satirical news program hosted by Stephen Colbert, coming as fairly startling surprise, especially as the halting takes place in the middle of a very contentious Republican primary race, which is top fodder for the program.

Dealing with the relief effort in Japan is no joke, but sometimes it takes levity to get people to help out. Late night comedians Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have decided to pool their efforts to raise money, and have concocted interesting threats against each other to help raise money. Colbert said Fallon would match the money of his charitable efforts, to which Fallon promised that if $26,000 was raised Colbert would sing Rebecca Black’s internet sensation “Friday” on the Friday late night show. The results are in…

There’s a reason Stewart was named the most influential man of 2010. The hosts got together on October 30th to headline their “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear,” which took place on the Mall in Washington DC. According to estimates over 215,000 people attended the event that makes Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor Rally” and its 87,000 attendees look like child’s play.

So, Stephen Colbert is becoming a member of the Borg.
OK, not really, but we can dream. No, what happened was this. Glen Beck, realizing he hadn’t managed to get a bunch of liberal blogs all offended at him that week back in August, ran a “Restoring Honor” rally, because nobody knows honor like a former zoo-crew DJ who once mocked a rival’s wife on air for having a miscarriage (and no, this isn’t that dead teenager thing: Beck actually did that).
