I want to start a monarchy in the US, just so I can vote Stephen Colbert - King! Let's look at how insane this past weekend was:
1) He speaks at the White House Press Corp Dinner - and decimates the room (see below)
2) Saturday Night Live - Is A Best of TV Funhouse Episode -Hosted By The Ambiguously Gay Duo's, Ace (Stephen Colbert) and Gary (Steve Carell)
3) Sunday night on 60 Minutes - Morley Safer interviewed Stephen for a full segment!
4) Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law - ran this weekend with Stephen supplying the voices for both Reducto (the evil shrink ray lawyer) and Harvey's one eyed boss Phil! Great fun.
5) The previous week, the Trailer for STANGERS WITH CANDY is online. Colbertalicious!
6) Stephen's agent earns his 10% and watches the Washington talking heads (the very same one's Stephen satirizes on the Colbert Report) wage a war on his performance for the President.
And now to give you a taste of some of the Press Corp Dinner aftermath:

UPDATE: THE COLBERT REPORT - Show open from Monday (comments on the weekend dinner!)
Good stuff. Love America! If this were certain other countries, Mr. Colbert would have been shot in the head before leaving the building.
All Hail Stephen! God Save The King!
