Stephen Colbert, Defender of Marriage

[MasterGame12]

Stephen Colbert and Roy Zimmerman: the perfect satirical duo.

[AngieEnz84]

That song kicks ass. I love it. Nice choice for the video, great mix there.

[Folkmann]

Awesome vid!

that clip where Jon is sitting at the desk with a woman and laying an arm around her - where is it from?

[erinptah]

@Folkmann That was May 17, 2007. The clip title on the website is "Comey Don't Play That." And the woman is production assistant Gina Brown.

[Folkmann]

@erinptah Fantastic! Thanks!

[Azrael666Azazel]

is there any place i can download this song?

[erinptah]

@Azrael666Azazel It's by Roy Zimmerman. Try looking him up on iTunes or something.

[AvalonDraconis]

I love this song. If you don't mind, I'll be posting this a lot on Facebook. This song deserves to be heard! You are so talented, I hope you keep it up! <3

[mollificent]

I've said it before and I'll say it again...the editing job on this video is PERFECTION.

[UncleFizzmo]

I heard Stephen has a gay brother. Anyone know if that's true?

[Incubi00]

I don't think there is much public information about any of his siblings (except maybe that the one brother who was at the show at some point is lawyer) and it isn't any of our business anyway. The odds aren't that bad though with seven brothers.

[UncleFizzmo]

True. He seems to have an interesting family, though, from what I've read on wiki and various interviews.

[Incubi00]

something else that occurred to me: Amy Sedaris has a rather famous gay brother, maybe you read about him and mixed it up?

[prettyboydedede]

Where's the first vid from? sorry >_>

[rainsong14]

Great job!

[THEREIZNOGOD]

colbert isn't really against gay marriage, is he?

[erinptah]

The actor is for it. He plays a satirical character who's against it. Since this is a satirical song against it, I figured it was a good match :)

[THEREIZNOGOD]

i know S.C. =)

i wasn't sure if this was serious or not.

yes, it works well with the character

[SMFan1]

I'd rather live in a world of some gay people and some straight people than a world where the world is straight and half of them cheat on their wives and don't honor the commitment.

[RayOrama]

This is so Tom Lehrer-ish. I love it.

[michirucarrera]

Genius! I hope you got a chance to see his bit on "marriage protection" tonight, it was almost as funny as this. :)

[Greendayrocks789]

This is awesome! =D

[Jaric55]

LOL!! Very good and oh so true!

[stevedeasy]

Very well done!

[mtnas]

Awesome Possum!

[slashantidrug]

Some clips may have been reused, but I don't care, this video is amazing!

[colbertnation401]

haaay sailorptah. 'tis colbertican.

how could I not have commented on this in the past? anyway, its a great vid.

[ZachValkyrie]

Has anyone else noticed?

Roy looks almost exactly like Steve!

I think Roy secretly IS Steve!

(and if you play the song backwards, it says: "Steve is Dead!")

actually no, I made that up

[fuzzzzzyllama]

It's STEPHEN.

Sorry, my inner fangirl made me say it.

[prettyboydedede]

Oh let it out girl XD

[vigwig]

Why Roy has not appeared on Colbert is a mystery to me.

[Rein5]

I saw this vid about a year ago, I think, and this was the one that introduced me to roy zimmerman, so... thanks!

[scottyelf]

Nicely put together!

[PhoenixSparrow]

that was awesome

[honeyypleasee]

could you perhaps tell me what the very beginning clip is from, where ed and rob are getting "married"?

[erinptah]

It's from the special episode "I'm A Correspondent, Please Don't Fire Me."

[Incubi00]

Do you know if it's possible to watch that somewhere? (Great job with the video by the way.)

[RoyZimmerman]

Dear Erinptah,

I LOVE this!! Thank you!!

Love and Light,

Melanie (and Roy)

[erinptah]

It was, as always, my pleasure!

[Cabiee]

We need to see Roy Zimmerman on the Daily Show or The Colbert Report, His satire is brilliant!!!

[Cafeeine]

Seconded.

And yearned for.
