Winner: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"
Why: The very idea of a Carell Corral made this an instant win, and the intro to this supposed show was Carell at his finest. Once he finishes his work on The Office, this is his next gig. Yeah, Stephen was great too, but it was really the interview between Carell and Colbert that sealed the deal.
Loser: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Why: There was no Steve Carell. 'Nough said.

Winner: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Why: Lewis Black showed up, which is always pleasant, and Julianne Moore was a fun guest, with her and Jon talking mostly about LeBron James. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was a good episode. Also, it was awhile ago, so that could be the reason for the short post.
Loser: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"
Why: Because Jon won. Also, see final sentence of above paragraph.

Winner: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Why: Well, Colbert almost had it, but that might have been my sympathy and pure admiration of his working sick. But Stewart had a great time with Michael Steele, who, as a puppet, is the perfect match. It was humorous when everything Steele does should make you blanch.
Loser: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"
Why: Because you were sick and showed sickness. It's disgusting... no, I wrote enough above about the sickness, but there were some good interviews used and the interview was actually interesting, but this is from someone who is intrigued by basic, entry-level theoretical physics. And to do a show when ill, forcing you to sit in a chair the whole episode must have been hard (wait, he always sits in a chair).

Winner: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"
Why: He just had more content today. The threat down featuring Dawn soap was a clever bit of comedy writing and scary truth, so there is that. But shockingly, and this is some big news, I think it was his interview with New York City farmer Manny Howard that took the cake. His story about fighting a rabbit off with a dust pan was some stunningly hilarious, and sad, stuff.
Loser: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Why: As mentioned above, Colbert just had more material. But Stewart had some shining moments, though I'm not sure about the inclusion of Olivia Munn as a correspondant. We will have to see if she can stay the course and make it all work when there are some many new, and obviously old, correspondants.

Winner: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"
Why: He tried out for the Knicks, mocked Kim Jong-il, and reported, in the most epic style possible, about the disappearance of King Tuts penis. It was a fantastic day for Colbert, who kicked his usual charm up a notch, which can usually ensure a win. So here it is, Colbert. Enjoy it.
Loser: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Why: It was focused entirely on soccer and the World Cup, which, if it had more of John Oliver screaming at Stewart, would have been excellent. But it didn't, and the interview with U.S. team coach and a player, was boring. Not Stewarts fault, but it was still dull.

Winner: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Why: Because he is a master at tearing Fox News new holes (say that last part five time fast). Jon didn't hold back as he assaulted them, mocking their ridiculous "news" reporting and even more ridiculous reporters. Fox And Friends received the majority of the attack, which was well-suited, as they were blaming the Obama administration for blaming the Bush administration, when they did the same to Clinton for his administration well into Bush's second term. Well done, Stewart, well done.
Loser: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"
Why: Um...well, Jon did just win. No, Stephen had some funny stuff, especially with his special report on joining the Knicks, which began with the interview of the teams head coach. Both shows were lacking in the final guest interviews, but Colbert had some fun with Texas Democrat? Julian Castro. Let's see if part 2 of his report can overcome Stewart tomorrow.

Winner: Stephen Colbert of "The Colbert Report"
Why: Because he came up with the idea of a bunker for a post-apocalyptic bunker. That's just funny stuff. Colbert also brought in famous Rolling Stones reporter what's-his-name for his McChrystal article. It wasn't the most shining example of Colbert's work, but once he got to his interview with filmmaker John Waters, that's when things took off. Waters gave the best interview for a winner we've seen yet and his claim that it would be better for your kid to be a drug dealer than a drug user was spot on.
Loser: Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart"
Why: It was a short episode, with the majority devoted to Obama political advisor David Axelrod. It was an interesting interview, but not enough to trump Colbert and Waters. Though Stewart was given another opportunity to mock John Oliver and English soccer, so that was welcome. Not the craziest day the Stewart or Colbert has had, but it was solid enough.
