I'm impressed. Early on the show looked thin, and since I lack cable I just look at bits online every now and then. But if you go to the pop culture selections on the show's site, there's some pretty chewy irony.

I saw it last night. The angry litigants. The heels. The interview with Ariel Levy. " I like feminists". The freakin' <em>pie.</em> I feel like I've witnessed something truly, truly strange.

I think it was deliberate, and hence, BRILLIANT! They "crowned" him "Mrs. Colbert," but the ending wouldn't have worked if stephen had said "I'm <strong>Miss </strong>Colbert!" because he followed it up with: "<strong>I'm so happy to be my wife</strong>!" I read this as a subtle but clever connection between Mrs and ownership. at the end of the show, with the tiaras and the sashes: did anyone notice the choice of “mrs.” instead of “ms” or “miss” colbert?

But then, I'm Mrs. Colbert, so I have to defend him. Also, I thought the whole kitchen pie set-up was very well-done and as good as anything that’s been on the show.

I agree with Piny and Maureen. Stephen Colbert has to act like the "Colbert" character, which he did--but he also made sure to give Steinem and Fonda time to speak and express <i>their</i> moral outrage and concerns. Which was far more effective and pro-feminist than attempting to ironically rage about it himself would have been (which wouldn't even have been funny, either). That whole thing was just gorgeous.

Been quite a week for me, what with (that pretty, pretty, David Tennant starring in) Casanova playing on PBS and now a blushing Stephen Colbert to look forward to? Goodness me, it's getting hot in here. OH my gawd–I don’t have cable, but the Sibling tapes TDS & The Colbert Report on a regular basis for me.
