you had to see the problem from fallon and colbert's point of view.e guy being a bloodsoaked butcher, they can't do any comedy on that, they can't do any comedy about how pitiful it is that they are all going on about how sexually they have the hots for him and theow cuomo-sexual coffee mugs where he is bare chested and they have fallen for an obvious racket because the last three governors of new york, all democrats, have now all resigned in one sexual scandal after another. you could do some jokes about how spitzer needed a room at the mayflower in washington, d.c., and that is like, 1,000 bucks a night, and then david patterson made do with the days inn on 94th street in manhattan and that is only 130 bucks a night and this guy saves you the hotel bill altogether because he just because everybody in the office, but they can't do anything. even with the 37 man writing team.dy and i feel most sorry for my dear commonwealth cousin, trevor noah from south africa who i once saw at the london palladium, and he was marginally less unfunny, and what's inte

brian stelter was on colbert last night doing damage control for cnn over the cuomo brothers. >> whene but they said of course you're going to talk to your brother and overall what is most important is they covered the story on error just the way they would any story. ultimately, isn't that what matters? >> the media critically spends most of his time criticizing fox news has nothing for the cuomo brothers. >> the one thing that stuck out to me about this interview is when he said that he has a source that can confirm "the new york times" reporting that chris cuomo is still talking to his brother and try to get the strategy for his brother but when you're talking about your own office, you just call that person a coworker. it's no longer a source. >> but he said there is no special book, they had no guide to do it. i think it's basic instinct. finally, no beating around the bush here, the video shows a wayward president have been a little trouble finding his way back to the white house. where is he going? this is our president and we wish him well and i don't want to make fun of him b
