Stephen Colbert Strikes Again
Jon Stewart's guest on a re-run of "The Daily Show" earlier tonight was the ever-pleasant Anderson Cooper, who has a shy and cute laugh when not anchoring his own show.
During the transition from Stewart's show to Colbert's show, Colbert rotated slowly around in his chair in a parody of Anderson Cooper's show, which is called "360." No sooner does the audience start to laugh when Stewart remarks how clever Colbert is to think of rotating all the way around in his seat to imitate Cooper's show's name. Upon hearing this, Colbert stops rotating with his back to the camera, sternly saying, "I'm only rotating 180 degrees, Jon, because I feel that Anderson only covers half the issue."
It was much funnier on TV than it is here, I'm sure. Colbert finishes by slowly rotating back almost to facing the camera, saying, "Well, I'll give him 358 degrees."
Anyway, Anderson was promoting his new book, of course, and when Stewart asked whether he actually wrote the book himself, Anderson seemed genuinely taken aback, as if it hadn't even occured to him that he wouldn't write his own book. How cute. I guess most "talking heads" aren't even informed they've written a book until it's about to go to press.
