So, where are the After Party Pics?????

I think you guys are the SHIT

however I still have not gotten over Stephen not running for President. When people ask me who I am voting for I still say Colbert. You guys rock !!!!

You guys suck. You're all so political and shit. You should really just do the news without getting into all that political stuff. It's soooo boring and shit.

Congrats you guys!!!!

>You guys suck. You're all so political and shit. You should really just do the news without getting into all that political stuff. It's soooo boring and shit.

Did someone seriously write the above comment, or was it all done tongue-in-cheek??

Thrilled to see both win an emmy. The two best news shows on the air. Speaking the truthiness with humor! Love you both beyond words!

It's nice to see great shows win Emmys rather than garbage like "The Hills".

Your first paragraph needs a bit of editing. "Respectively," means the order of the winners should match the order of the awards. Colbert did not win for Best Animated Program.

Congratulations on qualifying for an emmy.

In reply to your question, "…Does the BFNT have a shot at winning a record seventh emmy next year under a new administration…"?

It's very likely. Since Obama and Biden don't know how to abide by and convey America's founding Principles of Freedom any more than Bush/Cheney or McCain/Palin, they can't possibly protect American inalienable rights and freedom.

So, I'd say you're looking pretty good no matter which way the axe comes down on America. Don't forget the potential from corporate-welfare, the Financial and Oil industries, toss in a couple of natural disasters and Homeland security affairs and Voila!, a seventh Emmy.

It's pretty much fail-safe. Remember, as long as we're ruled by he who hates the hater, which the murderer is, they'll simply uses a different style to achieve the same results.

For example, as you know, planning an attack to kill innocent people takes the same low-level mental energy, no matter whether its aimed at the WTC or at the civilian cities of Iraq. We can't solve our problems with the same level of mentality that created them.

If Emmy's for Best Comedy Series are your thing, I say, you and yours should be celebrating job security.

someone please post a link to Stephen accepting his long overdue Emmy - I sadly missed it. Much obliged!

Congratulations! I don't ever remember laughing and enjoying such fantastic writing as I do with Jon and Stephen. Keep 'em coming! Thanks.

It does not need editing… read it again. Some people always need something to complain about.

That’s entertainment? Thud.

How to explain last night’s television awards? Sure, you could “use the news.” (Ironic, when you think where the news comes from.) But the election, the economy and the wars can only be credited in part for for the cringe-ful travesty that was the Emmy’s.

The elephant in THAT room was anti-depressants.

Such talent. And not one shimmering moment - no whimsy nor sharp flick of wit. The expectation on contender’s faces as they watched from the audience seemed not for their own glory or recognition - but for an instant of emotional relief.

From John Adams or Mr. Warmth to the TV-classics show sets, clips and music, every hopeful moment was derived from the past.

Alec Baldwin gravely lauded Tina Fey as this generation’s Elaine May. Tommy Smothers dolefully tried to remind us what it was to be feisty. That opening bit - “we got nothing” - was Harvey Mandel’s furtive, furtive attempt at political satire. Jeff Probst apologized at the close for not listening when Jimmy Kimmel warned them it wasn’t gonna fly.

And the big gag of the night was Captain Kirk stripping the SUIT off a good-looking, go-getting, got-it-all Gal. Clearly, the fresh, future-y narrative of Sarah Palin has kicked the industry’s ass, it’s fallen and it can’t get up.

Anti-depressants are hardly the answer. Tom Cruise aside: Thank heavens Edith Piaf never took anti-depressants. Or Will Rogers.

We don’t stop laughing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop laughing. And singing, story-telling. Without laughing, singing and story-telling, we grow old - inside - and weak.

Hah! - Did someone steal Tina’s Fey’s purse from under her seat when she went up to take one of her many awards? By now, her cell phonebook and scribbled script ideas have been smuggled to the GOP or posted on some interWeb. Come on! It’s a plot from Casablanca. The economy is headed toward a distopic scenario straight from Road Warriors.

What’s happening in our nation is no laughing matter. But it’s happening because of masterful storytelling. Good old American bogosity. Fiction or fact, the American masses have been soaking up the material.

This is a war of minds. But notice, we're seeing remakes; old plotlines are holding sway.

And Hollywood’s “got nothing?” (Ironic, when you think where all this good old American story-telling came from.)

It’s pilot season. Enough awfulizing - it’s worse than nothing.

Cue the new guy - and no more remakes.
