In other words, I can't believe I stayed up to one to watch that.

Yeah, they should have got 2 minutes each for delay of game.

I actually didn't mind either segment. But O'Reilly clearly mishandled this business from the start. He would have been way better off to just let Colbert be his character and play it straight, rather than trying to "pin him down" as a "secular progressive." Colbert just came off as the same character he always plays, while O'Reilly came off as a pompous ass. Of course that may just be because he IS a pompous ass....

To be honest the funniest part of the whole night was the clip from the Conan O'Brien show where Colbert was demanding an apology from the family of Rosa Parks, O'Brien shot him, and Colbert told him it was a typical reaction.
