Stephen Colbert welcome to the Colbert Report

Tonight’s episode featured X-rays of your junk, an unfortunate event at an airport Cinnabon, the Rev. Sir Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a reminder that the Primetime Emmy Awards are only a couple weeks away, Parry-with-an-A-Gate, an interview with Robin Wright, and some minor cases of giggling.

  • “The American government has done whatever is necessary to safeguard The Homeland, from enhanced interrogation to inventing the phrase 'The Homeland'. We even tried to find common ground with Muslim extremists by electing one of them President.”
  • “Whenever the terrorists have come up with a new way to attack air travel, the TSA has found new and innovative ways to overreact. So travelers can then relax and enjoy their 2'x2' space next to a crying baby in a pressurized tube hurdling 40,000 feet in the air.”
  • “Thanks to our vigilance up 'til now, America hasn't suffered another footwear-related act of war. Except for Jimmy Choo's Fall 2011 patent leather sandal pump, which declared a jihad on our notions of open-toed elegance.”

He's not only been to the mountaintop -- he's been glued to it.

  • “I could not be judged by the color of my skin, because at the time, I was technically translucent. I was 'Conan O'Brien' color.”
  • “How's it going, buddy? I'll see you at the Emmy's, Red.”
  • “ABC 5 News's Amanda Krenz questioned whether or not the Straw Poll results might be subject to a Freedom of Information Act request. The short answer is: No. The long answer is: Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnno.”
I was a drum major

"If anything, memorial architect Ed Jackson still left the quote a little too long. I say, trim the fat down to 'I was a drum major'. You can even add one of those fancy hats. Hey, he did lead a march."

  • Stephen: We saw the footage of the people celebrating the victory of Al-Qaeda as they perceived it. You say that wouldn't happen today?
    Robin: You can't stereotype 1.57 billion people.
    Stephen: Oh, yes I can.
