Patrick Stewart on The Colbert Report

Chuck Duprey (Patrick Stewart) is totally non-fake Louisiana “workman” from the “job site” with a bad case of fisherman’s foot. Thanks, Obamacare!

Great to see Patrick Stewart on the show, and in a hilariously ridiculous caricature no less. It was a tricky bit, and only someone with as much acting cred as he’s got could pull it off. We also had a nice interview with Caitlin Flanagan, who was a great sport and even got some wisecracks in as well.

What did you think of the ep? Get your thoughts out in the comments, before Obamacare takes them away.

Magical Evening at the 2014 Academy Awards

“Only Matthew McConaughey has the humility to admit that however great he seems now, he’s only getting better. “

Phony Obamacare Horror Stories - Patrick Stewart

  • Chuck Duprey: I’m an average American Joe who prefers to open up a do-mestic beer and watch the Nascars.

“Ah, my boys. Let me embrace you, a’fore death embraces me.” “Are these your sons?” ” Yes, sir. This is my son Thomas, and this is Thomas’ understudy, Thomas.”

“REPEAL AND REPLAACCEEE!”

Barbie on the Cover of Sports Illustrated

  • She doesn’t blink, she doesn’t move. She’s too busy being empowered to talk.
  • Folks, this is the perfect thing for any man who has ever picked up a swimsuit issue and said, ‘I wish they would feature more things that reminded me of my daughter.

“No, this is the exact opposite of the objectification of women. It’s the woman-ification of object.”

“[Mrs. Potato Head] is the perfect model. You can change her features without plastic surgery.”

Interview — Caitlin Flanagan

“Sorry, what am I doing here, you want a beer? It’s all foam, sorry about that.”

Sign Off - “Waiting for Godot”

A little bulletin for the Colbert Community: four weeks left to check out Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen in “Waiting for Godot.”

  1. Oh, my god. Patrick Stewart on the Report! Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. We haven’t even gotten to the interview yet and this episode has been top-tier all the way. So far, he’s skewered Matthew McConaughey’s ego, lies about the Affordable Care Act, and a smash at the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and Barbie. I am one happy viewer.

    Had a great time seeing @StephenAtHome taping. Great with the crowd and said “Her” was his favorite recent flick. Couldn’t agree more.

  3. The fact that Barbie is in the swimsuit issue of ‘Sports Illustrated’ is completely ridiculous, not to mention incredibly creepy. Thanks SI, for your beautiful interpretation of women as literal playthings. Stephen made so many good points. I loved that segment! “It’s the womafication of object.” :)

    Patrick Stewart was fantastic! The segment on Obamacare was brilliant.
