Stephen Colbert, Circa 1995: Down In The Basement

It’s easy to forget that one of our favorite television personalities, Stephen Colbert, ever existed before The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. Sure, you diehard fans remember him from Strangers With Candy. But since most of you were probably 9-years-old during his time at “Exit 57″, I doubt you remember this little gem from 1995.

Stephen Colbert’s Strange Request To The Princeton’s Class of 2008

Stephen Colbert’s Strange Request To The Princeton’s Class of 2008

“Gandhi said, ‘you must be the change you want to see in the world,’” Stephen Colbert told an audience of thousands at the Class Day ceremony this afternoon. “But may I also point out he drank his own urine, so let’s not go overboard on his advice.”

The host and executive producer of “The Colbert Report” and a one-time presidential candidate in his home state of South Carolina, Colbert drew laughter and applause from the assembled senior class and their families as he poked fun at Princeton traditions and urged the class to maintain the status quo after graduation.

Though the Class of 2008 “can change the world,” Colbert said, he pleaded with its members to “please don’t do that.”

“Some of us like it the way it is,” he explained. “Personally, things are going great for me right now.” [The Daily Princetonian]

Nine Signs He’s a Frat Guy

The darker it is, the more beer that’s present, the more likely it is that girls will be back-humped by a frat guy. It’s the frat boy’s way of saying, “Hello, I’m drunk and you have a vagina, please let me stimulate my penis while grinding on you.” Because this usually takes place in a dark basement, it means it’s somehow OK. Most don’t even mind that you can feel their aroused penis slithering over your leg while dancing at a party.

He’s probably a frat guy if… [CollegeOTR]

Facebook’s power to influence the masses is incredible and Colbert is the first Presidential hopeful to have success within this tech medium. (more…)

59th Annual Emmy Awards: Something Old, Something New

The Sopranos

The Emmys, not unlike the Grammys, usually have a healthy helping of smug involved – and that’s why it was nice to see a looser, more improvised feel at this year’s show.

The Sopranos, as expected, swept the major categories in drama, winning Best Series, Writing and Directing. Along with those wins, The Sopranos secured a spot in history as the only drama in the past 30 years to win Best Series in its final season.

As for dramatic acting: James Spader won Best Actor in a Dramatic Series (with his dry, sly, nonchalant wit in tow, natch) and the always-overdramatic Sally Field ranted about moms and war and stuff during her acceptance speech for winning Best Actress. Terry O’ Quinn scored gold for Supporting Actor in Lost and Katherine Heigl won Best Actress for her role on Grey’s Anatomy.
