sj4iy Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I teared up, too. This has been around for most of my adult life, it really feels strange that it's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Paul Krugman was in there too. And I thought I saw Kevin Spacey for a half second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnionAhaiReborn Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Kevin Spacey was definitely there. I saw Tom Friedman, Jeff Tweedy, and Ken burns, too. The internet tells me Samantha Power (who I just wouldn't recognize by appearance), and Claire McCaskill (who I didn't spot) were there. Lots more, too. Hopefully a comprehensive list will turn up.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Awesome, what an ensemble. Totally whiffed on Mark Cuban and Ric Ocasek last night. On a related note, it looks like Cuban finalized the Rondo deal in the green room, sitting next to Keith Olbermann... http://deadspin.com/thats-one-way-to-get-business-done-1673060342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdawnb Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It was a fitting end to a great show. I don't think I am being hyperbolic when I say an era has ended. Colbert was brilliant on so many levels. I am going to miss his voice in both comedy and politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnionAhaiReborn Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Cool. Where'd you hear that one? Probably dear Rush, who said CBS hiring Colbert for Late Night was "declaring war on the heartland of America." Satire has a well known liberal bias, probably why Rush and Commodore (because he was told to by Rush) dislike Colbert so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 it speaks well of him as a satirist that the rich and powerful fawn all over him I think it speaks to his intelligence and talent that so many other smart and talented people want to be a part of what he is doing.

Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 And Toby Keith Well, I have to imagine it isn't always easy to fill those guest slots with interesting people. Every once in awhile you have to allow for the existence of things like Toby Keith. And he does fit the mold of the sort of musical guest his persona would have on.
