Colbert, Stewart and Silverman Among Time's Most Influential
Time Magazine has announced the 200 finalists for their 100 Most Influential list, and Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart and Sarah Silverman have all made the cut. Users can currently rate all of the candidates in hopes of propelling their favorites to the top of the list. Here are the links to vote along with accompanying blurbs for the three aforementioned influencers:
Stephen Colbert: Hands down the nimblest satirist on TV or in print (I Am America!
(And So Can You!)) has spent more than 23 weeks atop the New York
Times Best Sellers list), Colbert can take any catastrophe — a
rejection from the South Carolina primary, a crippling writer's strike — and spin it into comedy gold.Jon Stewart: He shepherded us through a dud of an Oscarcast with nary an awkward
moment — and he had less than two weeks to prepare, thanks to the
writer's strike.Sarah Silverman: Silverman — the girl-next-door with the baby voice and dirty mouth
— manages to kick up some dust every few months or so: the viral-video
comedy economy seems custom designed for her Tourettic outbursts of outré hilarity. Consider the "I'm F—ing Matt
Damon" video she made for boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel's show, or her
much-talked about dig
at Paris Hilton while hosting the MTV Movie Awards.
Good luck, you crazy influential kids!
