Assuming you will discuss equal marriage rights...

When Stephen asks, "Why isn't civil union good enough for you people?", ask him why it isn't good enough for straights.
The product of a heterosexual civil commitment ceremony is a Marriage.

Then when he says something like "So now you're going to whine about separation of church and state", remind him that the states make the rules about who is or is not married in the eyes of the law and the Social Security Administration.
The Pope could perform a wedding ceremony during the Super Bowl Halftime show, and without the proper piece of paper on file with the government, that couple is no more married to each other then I am married to you. (Colbert is Catholic; I don't if that makes it a good example or a bad one.)

the biggest mistake you can make on that show is to be sincere, jennifer.

konstantconsumer is right...one must never, never take "The Colbert Report" too seriously

The voters did.
Give the comedy channel hell Dan Savage and us some laughs at the exspense of the neocons.

so, umm, people get that it's all just a big joke. judging by some of these comments, people seem to think that colbert is serious. y'all get that he's kidding, right?

Wait...I'll put my money where your mouth is. $100 to the charity of your choice if you plant a big-ole smacker on Steven. $50 more if there's tongue.

$10,000?! Who do you think you are? Heath Ledger?

Aah, so close to filming time. But Dan, do not listen to konstantconsumer. The worst thing you can do on this show is to try to be too funny. Colbert plays well off of sincerity...just get out there and chat with him. Have fun!

i didn't say he should try to be funny. just don't be sincere.

Is this related to the Seatac Xmas tree controversy?

I just saw the episode...he really should've just let him talk. He kept cutting him off... I get that they're pressed for time..but come on.

Dan, you did great! I just watched the show on the east coast. I wish Stephen had talked a little less and you had gotten to talk a LOT more. But you were quick-witted and funny and got a few good points across. Well done.

It wasn't bad, and your hair looked great--which is what's most important.

Just caught the broadcast...Dan, you were awesome! Major props for continually mentioning that Canada is a real country, and that my fellow Canadians and I do, indeed, kick ass. Way to go...Colbert's a toughie to endure.

Dan, you looked totally hot. I just wish you'd gotten more airtime. We were all like, WTF? Was that the whole interview?!

Oh well. You looked great and that's all that matters when you're on TV, right?
