Bill Engvall has a new stand-up special premiering this Sunday night, and it's all about the life changes he's experienced since turning fifty. I can't imagine what I'll be like when I'm fifty. Mostly because I'm pretty sure I'll be among the first to die in the resistance movement against the machine uprising of 2018.
More clips after the jump. And you can see the whole thing when Bill Engvall: Aged and Confused premieres this Sunday at 9pm / 8c.

Elvis Costello was Stephen Colbert's guest on last night's Colbert Report. He was on to promote his new talk show and to perform a song. Unfortunately, Elvis lost his voice, so Stephen filled in on vox. That's right, Elvis Costello is a talk show host and Stephen Colbert is a singer. It's just like if I worked in your office and read this blog for a day while you wrote this blog and had sex with models on my motorcycle.
The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30pm / 10:30c.

As you've no doubt heard by now, a brave boy in Arkansas has been refusing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at school, because gays and lesbians are being denied equal rights. And it should come as no surprise that the boy is being harassed at school. After all, this is Arkansas we're talking about. They get mad if you say we come from monkeys, let alone gay monkeys. Well, from here on, if anyone wants to call William Phillips a gaywad, they'll have to get through wrestler Mick Foley first.
Stephen Colbert's take on Phillips's story can be found below.
The Daily Show and Colbert Report air Monday through Thursday starting at 11pm / 10c.

Newsweek has come out with a list of the decade's top "Influencers," and Jon Stewart ranked second. Even better, they let Brian Williams write the accompanying profile, and he said a lot of nice things. Nice things like this:
The old arc of a news story went like this: News happens. Media cover news. Audience reacts, then turns in for the night. For the past several years, however, there’s been another step added to the end of the process: being held to account for our faults by a comedy show with a sharp eye and a sharp tongue. How did we live without it?
You can read the full profile here.
Also of note: Steve Jobs snagged the top spot, and they got Fake Steve Jobs to write about him.
After the jump, you can watch Brian Williams's most recent Daily Show appearance.

Stephen Colbert will be on The Late Show with David Letterman tonight at 11:35pm on CBS to drum up support for the Colbert Nation-sponsored US Speedskating team. Here's a look at the last time Stephen was on the show.

As we told you yesterday, the first ever preview of the new Comedy Central series Ugly Americans (or, as it's known in Europe, Americans) aired during last night's season finale of South Park. Of course, if you're like me, you missed it because you were too busy throwing a 47th anniversary of Neils Bohr's death pajama party (never forget). Well, lucky for us, the video is now online along with an additional clip from the show.
That other clip from the show can be found after the jump.
Ugly Americans premieres in March, 2010.

As Stephen Colbert reported on last night's Colbert Report, there's a critical shortage of Eggos in this country. Not since the great Toaster Strudel drought of 1998 have Americans faced a breakfast crisis of such proportions. And I don't want to add to the panic, but I heard an Eggo shortage is one of the seven signs of the apoptartclypse. Sorry, I promised myself I wouldn't make all these lame breakfast puns, but then I waffled.

If you watched Comedy Central last night, you saw a flabby, buffoonish xenophobe hilariously spouting doomsday paranoia. But enough about Lou Dobbs's appearance on The Daily Show, here's Cartman singing a funny song about minorities at the waterpark on the South Park season finale.
South Park Studios has more clips and the full episode.
South Park airs Wednesdays at 10pm / 9c.
