Ah... the reporter was paddling in what looks like a river until 2 guys walked by her canoe. It then became apparent that the canoe is really in no more than 4 inches of water. Here's a video of it.

Jon Stewart: "What? It's very interesting. Very rarely has the media cover anything with that kind of depth. In this case it's only only inches deep."

Touted as the show to watch if you have the balls, The Colbert Report (TCS) premiered last night with Stephen Colbert, one of my favorite correspondents from the Daily Show (TDS), as the anchorman. Being a spin-off of TDS, it uses the same tried and true satirical formula of TDS. While TDS reports on the the hypocrisy and contradictions of politics and the news media, TCS is supposed to make fun of news talk show and media pundits like Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. And you know what, I love it. It's like having the a 30-minute extension of TDS or what I consider the best show on TV right now. Colbert was hilarious last night although it still has some way to go before it catches up to Stewart's smooth, relaxed presentation style. Colbert seemed a little tense and unsettled when he was interviewing his guest. Still, the gravitas face-off with Stone Phillips last night was entertainingly funny. I see myself sticking around on Comedy Central after TDS. I hope that Stephen Colbert will continue "This Weekend in God" segment on the Colbert Report.
