Fantasy Colbert League Weekly: December 1 - 4Today

FCL_Weekly.pngWelcome to No Fact Zone’s weekly roundup of ‘Colbert Report’ guests, created in the spirit of the oft-enjoyed Fantasy Colbert League. While we can’t start up the online version of the game again, we can make it so that you can get the information you need about the guests before they come on the show.

Just like you, we want to be it-getters before the interviews start. So we’ve compiled brief bios, issues or events that Stephen might bring up during the interview, and a fun Fract (Freedom Fact) to impress your fellow viewers during the commercial breaks. Read, enjoy, and see if you can anticipate how Stephen might nail each of the following guests!

Note: As always, guests are subject to change.

Six Degrees: Interview with “Colbert Christmas” lyricist David JaverbaumToday

David_Javerbaum.jpgI cannot tell you how excited I was to land an interview with David Javerbaum. In addition to being the Executive Producer of ‘The Daily Show with Jon Stewart’, he managed to find the time to work with Stephen Colbert and Fountain of Wayne’s Adam Schlesinger on “A Colbert Christmas - The Greatest Gift of All!” Please enjoy the full interview, after the break!

DB: First of all, I just wanted to let you know I really, really enjoyed [the special], and I think it’s going to be a really big fan favorite. I hope it is appealing to a lot of different people, because I just think it’s fantastic. But I also think that it has enough fun and cheer that a lot of different people are going to like it.

Javerbaum: Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, we’re all happy with it, obviously.

DB: What were the origins of the special? Who kind of came up with the original concept, and how long have you guys been working on this?

Javerbaum: We were hoping originally to do it in 2007, but we’re both very busy; Stephen especially, you know, and so we put it off for another year. But I wanted to do some Christmas songs for a while, and Stephen wanted to do a Christmas special, and we sort of knew each other from way back from ‘The Daily Show’, and mentioned it for a long tim



Fan Art: As featured on the set of “A Colbert Christmas”Today

Got a very cool e-mail from one of our readers today and just had to share. Here’s the e-mail from Val:

While I was watching the Christmas Special (yet again), I took notice to something familiar in the stairway. Back in April I cross-stitched a picture of Stephen and added a poem that I wrote to the top. I sent it in, and never heard anything. I guess I got lucky because they put my picture on the set of the special.

The cross-stitch finished before framing:

The picture on set:

Just another example of how good Stephen is to the fans.

Yes, indeed, the impression that I have always gotten is that Stephen Colbert and crew is extremely appreciative of the fan art sent to the show and the support of their artistically talented fans. There have been multiple reports of pictures and art created by fans being featured in the halls of the offices, and even on the show!

Thanks for sharing this with us, Val!

All You Need to Know: 11/30/08 EditionYesterday

thumb_allyouneedtoknow.jpeg Happy Thanksgiving, Zoners. Last week was a quiet one, with Stephen and the crew taking a much-needed post-election break, but we had the ‘Colbert Christmas’ special to tide us over. I don’t know about you, but I had the nutmeg song stuck in my head most of the week. Now we all know what to buy each other for the holidays, right? Enjoy the short and sweet roundup of the past week, and get ready for new shows starting Monday night.
