Jaimoe Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 If you missed it, try to catch a repeat later tonight or tomorrow (check your listings on the Comedy Network). Colbert had a segment on the OHL where he ripped the Oshawa Generals and GM Canada. God love a man that rips the Oshawa Generals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born to hate them... and I speak for all born and bred Kingston Canadians/Raiders/Frontenacs fans. I hate them almost as much as the Belleville Bulls. And I know: We Kingston fans have suffered a great deal over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YearsAlongTheSea Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I thought it was a weak show and possibly the weakest interview ever done where he was just shoving words down the mouth of his guest. Just my opinion. He did give it to Oshawa, I should see if my GM 3rd Quarter Report is done downloading... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YearsAlongTheSea Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I'm with you, I just found that interview disturbing, he should have a little more integrity than that. I know it's all a farce, but really... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I wasn't giving the interview my full attention, but from what I got from it, I thought the same thing, YATS.Sometimes Colbert does that thing where he just interrupts and talks over his guest the whole time ... I guess it makes some sense since that is the approach that the people he is parodying take, too, but it's a big turn-off and I just wish he would let his guest make their point.Did enjoy the Oshawa bit, though.

whiteymuseum Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Many 2007 shows have had Ontario Hockey League segments. It's something he's been doing regularly this year.He spoke about Brandon Wheat Kings the other night too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McL Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 I found that interview to be almost like Colbert warming up his O'Reilly impression.he kind of took up the argumentative style of"I agree with youBUThere's exactly where you're wrong, and I'm not going to let you talk about anything else until you admit the one point that I want to nail you on."that's exactly what O'Reilly does, cuts people off and forces them to discuss what he wants to discuss about.that might be too deep of a parody for the audience to actually get anything out of it. but I found his different approach to be just kind of a curious oddity more than anything else.the interview with the National Drug Policy reform guy last week was DREADFUL. The dude was just in 100% scream/confrontation mode with everything that came out of his mouth. Colbert was trying to lead him, underhand pitching some questions, and this guy still went off as if Colbert was the conservative pundit trying to slam him.

It was painful to watch, but worth it since it dragged the drug guy out to what he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
