Six Degrees: Easter Break Edition.
G’day Zoners! I hope you have all had a wonderful Easter break. I’ve spent my much needed week of Uni eating far too much chocoloate, and compilling the latest round-up of Six Degrees news. This week Jon Stewart will again be performing in the Story Pirates benefit, Mark Malkoff races a NYC bus, Aasif Mandvi pen a book of semi autobiographical essys, Ed Helms is set to guest host...

Welcome back after our week’s break! I hope everyone who celebrated either Passover or Easter (or both!) had a happy holiday, with a liberating seder for the former and plenty of yummy chocolate eggs for the latter.
Have you all been missing Stephen and the ReporT? With the hiatus giving me some extra time, I’d hoped to get this FCL up much earlier. But at the moment I am suffering...

Fantasy Colbert League, April 11-14
Oh, what a week last week was! Despite having rehearsals for his Sondheim debut, Stephen put on some of his best shows ever, with James Franco and his brother Frank Jameso and the brilliant (and eye-candy filled) double dose of “My Fair Colbert: The Crown Jewels.” Handsomely dressed, with clotted cream dripping from his mouth, and afternoon tea on the table, he proved yet again that...

The reviews are in! The star power that went into the New York Philharmonic’s production of ‘Company’ guaranteed that the press would have plenty to say about it, so I spent some time yesterday rounding up the most significant reviews. They were almost universally good, with qualifications. Every review mentioned how the lack of rehearsal time had an effect on the quality of the...

Hello, Everyone! It’s Monday, Monday…
Last week was amazing, what with the creation of Stephen’s PAC (love the wickedly mischievous look when he asked whether anyone had ever been prosecuted for misusing funds) and an extra day of Colbertian hijinks with Jimmy Fallon.

Everyone still singing “Friday”? Yeah, me too. Remember the QR code held up in the background, which led to a cute video Easter egg from Jimmy Fallon?

In the first video, Jimmy holds up another QR code, which leads you to the Fallon Colbert Project Bonus Video Level 2:

How nice of NBC Universal to make the video of Stephen singing “Friday, Friday” on ‘Late Night’ available so quickly - and not to block it for those of us outside the United States! Maybe as nice as the fact that they chipped in another $26,000 for Donors Choose!
