David Leonhardt at the New York Times inadvertently helps Stephen introduce his new business to America.
And to Bernie Madoff.
I have nothing else to say. Watch this and then call 1-888-OOPS-JEWEL. I did, it's an actual working number with info for you.
About your jewels. And what to do with them. Seriously.
So here's what you do, you click the image above and head over to Myspace where you will pass up the clip (because you can watch it right here below) ...
... and give, give, give.
Until it hurts. Until you are so pained that you would watch an hour of Hannity's America to make it go away.
Do it, do it, do it.
The special airs Sunday at 10 on Comedy Central.
Because if he does, he's competing against himself. Here's a clip from the show, gleaned from the web as if I could travel through time to the very near future.
And who says I can't?
Yes, Jon Stewart sings! We know Stephen is a musical theatre pro, but Jon? I have to tell you that I'm impressed, and that comes from a member of the 1978 All New York State High School Choir.
And, if you click over to this link at the NY Mag Vulture blog, you can hear what will no doubt be the musical highlight of the special. It swings, baby, it swings!
Airing for the first time this Sunday at 10 on Comedy Central. Some proceeds from DVD and iTunes sales from the show go to FeedingAmerica.org (formerly America's Second Harvest).
Maybe we could just consider this the opening salvo in the War on Christmas, the shock -n-awe portion.
What would Christmas be without Stephen telling us what we should be feeling and how much?
This is an event so big that I got a press release, and among all the pretty words on the page are:
Toby Keith and Feist. On the same stage. Singing together. It's a Chistmas Miracle!
And, for a good cause. A portion of the DVD sales of the show (it's available for sale on Nov. 25 as well per Amazon) and the iTunes album of songs from the show will go to Feeding America.org, which you used to know as America's Second Harvest.
Your first look in a clip after the jump.
He asked for ways to "get" Colbert before he showed up there last night. Did you respond? Did Greenwald use your "get?"

And you can see that appearance in a clip after the jump.

That's right, it's a test.
If Stephen Colbert mentions this song at all, once in his show, he really is reading my blog and making fun of my taste in music.
Which is all well and good for the guy featured in the newest issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, but wait till I run into him at the next Skull & Bones meeting Tupperware party!
You'll remember that I posted the music video for the Gavin Rossdale song Love Remains the Same the other day.
And I mentioned it on my Facebook page.
And then I saw Stephen Colbert say this to me through the TV.
I'm watching you, Colbert. I have pictures of you in drag and other compromising positions.
Hey Comedy Central, why is the screen on your embeds so small? Why aren't they resizeable?
Love,
Your I-Write-About-TV-On-The-Web Pal Joe
(UPDATE: I meant Don Rickles. I really did. Bennett was last year. Rickles is this year. And it WAS Rickles who won. More of the project he won for at this link.)
I dunno, Tony Bennett is in his category. And the TV academy likes a good crooner.
So do I, of course, but c'mon, Stephen is out there every night with new material, and he's brilliant! Can't he get a little Emmy love?
