Idiot box thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

SNL cold open -
The guy portraying Keystone Ka$h is a dead ringer, except the eyes aren't crazy enough. "First Indian to suck at his job." :lol:

EDIT:
Olivia's lava cake. :-H
IMO she's holding her own as a comic actress.
That was Deborah Harry that introduced her. :wtf:
:clap: Someone had a good idea. Wiki doesn't mention her ever appearing on the show. Must have been a real honor for Olivia. At 80 Harry could be her great grandmother.
My bad, Wiki has a separate Debbie Harry filmography. She was Host in 1981 and Musical Guest in 1987, 16 years before Olivia was born.

Couldn't stand Coach before, can't stand him now.
Glad he's gone, he was insufferable this season.

Cirie is a freaking BOSS, she is absolutely running this thing. It's a winners edit, my fingers are crossed.

Christian played a terrible game but that twist sucked even more.


If I owned Obviousshirts.com.

Image
Cire is still an absolute boss, best player out there by far and I'm now afraid that could doom her. So plugged in and not fooled tonight.

Everyone knows it.

Ozzie is still a good character, but he's right. He's a shitty survivor player and needed Cirie.

If Cirie goes, I don't know who I'm rooting for. Don't really love anyone else.

Starting to get weird Aubry vibes, she was such a non entity outcast until the last couple of episodes. Her confessional last week about why she lost to Michele, coasting until the end, turning it on and the lessons learned seemed like the beginning of a redemption arc even though she seemingly has no strong alliances.


And most of these twists suck.

Ozzie be a fool.
Going out with an idol in his pocket (again) pretty much blew all respect I had for his play.

Guess i wasn't the only one sensing it.




Cirie’s had a great edit but that’s bc we’ve seen her have a direct impact on relevant strategy

Aubry has had a ton of edit manipulation, shown to be talking about the growth of her game, inserted into strategic conversations where she had no agency (like taking credit for Devens doing “exactly what she needed him to” at the Mr beast tribal). Consistent visibility and a lot of personal content all season long

Ironically her edit is very similar to … Michele’s!

For whatever reason people feel all kinds of ways about Aubry but she’s got a fantastic winner’s edit

Tonight is a rerun from earlier in the week with hosts Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers and John Oliver ("Strike Force Five"). Then, Thursday is his last show, possibly with his first guest, George Clooney.

OK season, uninspiring final three.

I thought uneven editing throughout. Winner became obvious.

Certainly not everything i hoped for.

Epic eff up in the finale though.

Bruce Springsteen, paraphrased: Colbert was fired because the president can't take a joke.

Final show tonight. :( At least the sickophants at CBS/Paramount are extending it by 20 minutes.

EDIT:
Spoiler:
Pope Leo won't come out of the dressing room because he wasn't given actual Chicago Dogs.

A final shot at DonOld by net mentioning him once during the final show. :lol:

DonOld stayed up to watch it, posting at 2 AM.





The show was just okay, I actually expected better since they had so much time to prepare.

:crybaby: in Chief, as always.
83 and looking good :clap: . The large framed photo of the Beatles playing in that same Ed Sullivan Theater 62 years ago, 3 months before Colbert was born, is a nice gift.

I agree, but I'm not sure how it should have been better.
Highlights clips?
Funnier might have been inappropriate.
More maudlin would have been too sad to watch.
Maybe 'We don't gaf' is it's own statement.

I think this "Jump Up" intro to "Hello Goodbye" was cut from broadcast. Excellent.


"Jump Up / Hello Goodbye" Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello, Jon Batiste, Louis Cato & Stephen Colbert

Thanks CBS/Paramount :roll: , you had 6 minutes until 1 am ET.

I didn't know Colbert could sing so good until these final shows.

Here's a real cut:

Stephen Colbert’s Own Questionert Gets a 48-Minute Extended Cut

Only 25 minutes was broadcast:


Stephen Colbert Takes The Colbert Questionert - EXTENDED SEGMENT
