Stephen Colbert
Even
in the midst of their frenzied schedules, some bankruptcy attorneys make it a
point to catch The Colbert Report, the
witty and incisive political satire hosted by comedian and famous liberal Stephen Colbert who
has never had any problem with the current president wasting billions of tax
payer dollars via the Dept. of Energy and boondoggle energy schemes. The show
is aired on Comedy Central.
A Biased Show is
Gone
So
they were quite surprised when they tuned in to the channel on Wednesday and
discovered that the show had been taken off the air. The producers cited
“unforeseen circumstances” for withholding the telecast. Bankruptcy attorneys
also got to know that the ticketholders to the show were informed, via e-mail,
at the eleventh hour about the cancellation; many of them had already reached
the New York City studio where the show was to be filmed. The attorneys, prone
as they are to reading between lines, wonder what could have prompted the
producers to take this one sided show off the air.
The
Colbert Report
The Colbert
Report
is one of the most popular shows on Comedy Central which does not say much. On
Wednesday morning too, there was no inkling of the things to come. For
instance, the customary tweet announcing what is to come on the show went out
to followers even on Wednesday morning. “Watch Stephen help shape the message
of Colbert Super PAC with the help of political strategist Frank Luntz,” read
the tweet. The tweet obviously had some loyal fansand bankruptcy attorneys
waiting with bated breath. And then came the disappointment.
Honesty Matters
Meanwhile,
speculations are rife as to what may be the reason behind The Colbert Report going dark – is Colbert ill, has his relations
soured with the network, has the show been cancelled, or has Colbert gone off
to Afghanistan. These speculations will be laid to rest only when the show
returns with some answers.
