Why: As stated in the post yesterday, the astronaut piece was a multiple-parter, which gave it the slight upper hand. The second installment was as solid, and we got to watch Stephen act his most Colberiest while training with other astronauts. And to sweeten the deal, his piece on Rand Paul was spot on, which led to a gag with frightened cat Mr. Wiggles, who performs eye surgery for board certified opthamologist Stephen Colbert, who became board certified today only after creating the board itself. The cat was well-trained, but the audience was testing its will to follow commands.
Loser: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Why: It was almost all locked in, with Jon nailing a couple of pieces, especially on the McChrystal debacle that is currently on everyone's mind (screw you, Gulf Coast). And he even managed to make the Cameron Diaz interview interesting, because he did most of the talking and remained funny even when the interview threatened to bore. He did a fine job today, and if it weren't for Mr. Wiggles, he likely would have taken the win. But the balls your court, Stewart. Lets get a chalk mark up there.
Final Tally:
Colbert: 2
Stewart: 0
