Comedy Show On (No Way!) Cheesesteaks

Hey, guess what? A comedy show came to Philadelphia for a week, and while it was here filmed a little bit about cheesesteaks. Yes, I”m pretty shocked as well, since nobody who ever comes to Philadelphia ever mentions cheesesteaks.

Stephen Colbert introduced the bit with a quip about how Hillary vs. Barack wasn’t the only battle Tuesday night. He then said Pat’s vs. Geno’s does a battle every day! Oh, man, how do these comedy news producers find this stuff? I didn’t know anybody knew about Pat’s and Geno’s!

Despite all that, it’s still pretty funny. Video after the jump.

Ben Franklin Impressed By Roomba

Hey, look, Ben “Ralph Archbold” Franklin’s going to be on Colbert Report all week, and last night he managed to get a hold of that technological marvel that doesn’t work, the Roomba.

Tonight, one of Colbert Report’s guests is scheduled to be Gov. Ed Rendell. Hopefully he’ll have a hot dog eating contest with Stephen.

Mayor Nutter On Colbert Report

Last night was the first of four nights of Colbert Report in Philadelphia this week, and Stephen’s first local guest was none other than Mayor Michael Nutter. (He also had on Ralph Archbold, aka The Real Ben Franklin.)

The interview segment is pretty funny, especially at the start, and the mayor gets at least one good one-liners in there. (Did you know he has dry wit? Every single article about him now mentions it!) Tomorrow The Roots are on. Sweet. Redlasso video clip is on the permalink page.
