First of all, a big congratulations to both The Daily Show and The Colbert Report for their multiple Emmy nods! Comedy Central must be very, very proud. I don't know if Jon will bring up the nominations any time in the near future, but I think Stephen will do a bit of boasting soon.

"Harry Potter and the Endless Build Up": Senior Literary Correspondent John Oliver chimed in on the Harry situation (Haha, I just made that up, right now. I'm so good. So very, very good) regarding spoilers. His spoiler joke, "Harry is decapitated by Ron, who is actually Voldemort's robot son", got a good laugh from me, but judging from the mild response from the audience, there weren't too many fans in the crowd. Oh, I just remembered... Back when the sixth book was about to be released, Rob Corddry filed an absolutely hysterical report about spoilers. For once, Comedy Central's website has a clip I want, so check it out.

I would have liked to hear more Harry Potter stuff, but I guess there's other stuff to talk about because there's, like, a war or something going on. Senior Political Correspondent Aasif Mandvi talked about the beauty in Bush's contradictions. We were right to invade Iraq because it weakened the terrorists, but we need to stay because the terrorists are too strong. It makes perfect sense, considering the fact that Bush is a bodhisattva. In other news, Farfour is fucking terrifying. I get chills whenever I see that damn mouse. It's like some sick, sick show from [adult swim], isn't it? But it's real. It's real and horrible and disturbing and wrong.

... So you should totally watch it on YouTube.

The night's guest was Adam Sandler, the newly bearded star of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. A good portion of the interview was devoted to discussing facial hair, but I thought it was okay because we got to see some sweet buddy-buddy chemistry between the boys. However, I was surprised that Sandler didn't know the term "Fu Manchu". Come on! Everyone knows the Fu Manchu.

Jon/Stephen: As if we needed any more proof that Stephen Colbert's voice is wonderful, he managed to make "Billy makes a pee in the potty" sound important by using his beautiful news anchor inflection. Moment of Zen: A lovely clip from Jesus Camp. "Harry Potter would have been put to death!" If you haven't seen that film before, I highly recommend it.

I was incredibly amused by the John Oliver clip over the credits. Honestly, I would have no problem watching a full hour of Oliver interviewing Harry Potter geeks, throwing questions like, "Which Harry Potter character would make the best president?" And although I can see the appeal of having Hermione as president, little Gryffindor boy with a McGonagall hat, I seriously doubt someone so prone to girlish fits of anger would do well in such a position. I'm just sayin'.
