I can’t believe that someone figured out the treasure!! Congrats to Daniel Stow (hope I am spelling that correctly.) It seems that University of Pittsburgh is in for quite a treat.
Great show all around, but we’ll miss you for 2 weeks, Stephen and crew!

I think my favorite part was Stephen’s Sorkin-esque monologue about Sorkin-esque monologues. Brilliant. “Look at me! I’m the f***in’ king of media!” Also? The Monkees reference.
And yes, kudos to Daniel. If you go to cn.com, there is a video of Peter Gwinn explaining how to work out the treasure hunt. The fun packers clearly had their work cut out for them.

Love both of those-only wish he’d really SUNG the Monkees’ theme. That would have been awesome.
Great show. Of course, he and Jon had just been handed the story of all stories: how FOX and CNN both got the story wrong. It’s was made-to-order for our duo. And the Tiger Beat posters really cracked me up. Scalia made me ill even in that phony body, though. Maybe just thinking of him without a shirt….
EEEWWWWW. I have to leave now.

I have got to stop watching while eating breakfast! I almost choked on my cereal (I’m fine now, thanks) when I saw the Tiger Beat posters. Scalia *wishes* he looked that buff!

“No It Has Not. You Suck At News!” The whole show was great. But that moment sticks out. Just the way Stephen delivered that line, in character, but also with more than a hint of righteous, disgusted, anger that I took as being real Stephen, made me happy.
BTW Kris. If you ever get your new power cord or steal (Err, I mean “borrow.”) your friend’s computer I would really love to see some of the long shots of Emily Bazelon talking to Stephen. She had lovely thighs.
