NEW YORK - Comedy Central's "Colbert Report" is off the air and it's a mystery why. An expected new episode of the show was replaced by a repeat on Wednesday. Comedy Central said Thursday's live show will be off, too. The network said it was airing the repeats "due to unforeseen circumstances," but offered no other explanation. A person close to the show, who wasn't authorized to speak publically on the matter, told The Associated Press that new episodes are expected to return soon. A publicist for Colbert declined to comment.
Whew... for over a decade, Comedy Central has been forbidden on my TV between 10:00 and 11:00pm as I worry the partial-birth humor abortions on display will leak blood through the screen and make a mess for my team of housekeepers. Just because you sit there and contort your face like a clown and dance wildly through the human range of vocal pitches doesn't make bad writing magically funny. I poorly write meaningless blog posts, clearly with absolutely no formal training in writing or comedy, yet I feel like George Carlin if I ever hear a few minutes of those two abominations. Only problem is where entitled, self-important grad students will get there news if Jon Stewart goes down next, cause if you thought they were annoying now, just think how bad it will be when they can't regurgitate some tired social justice punchline for their Occupy poster and have to think for themselves.
