Stephen Colbert Shaves His Head For The Troops

Stephen Colbert Shaves His Head For The Troops

During the first episode of filming The Colbert Report in Iraq, titled Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando, Stephen Colbert sacrificed his hair for the troops.

The host wore a camouflage suit and tie as his first guest, Gen. Ray Odierno, accepted a video message from President Obama to shave Colbert’s head.

The purpose of this show was to bring attention to the six year war which has been overshadowed by economic news.

Colbert even poked fun of the troops by saying, “It must be nice here in Iraq because I understand some of you keep coming back again and again. You’ve earned so many frequent flyer miles, you’ve earned a free ticket to Afghanistan.”

Claiming the war must be over because nobody’s talking about it anymore, Colbert announced that it was time to “officially declare we won the Iraq war.”

The Colbert Report’s trip to Iraq marks the first time anyone has broadcast a taped show from a tour in order to entertain U.S. troops.

Congrats, Stephen!

    • Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert On Entertainment Weekly Cover

    Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert On Entertainment Weekly Cover 

    The cover of the Oct. 4 issue of Entertainment Weekly features the satirical cable news show anchors in a spoof of a now-infamous cover of The New Yorker magazine from July. Arriving in stores next Monday, the issue features an interview with the hosts of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report in which they discuss the oddities of the U.S. presidential election.

    The New Yorker Obama Cover

    The original New Yorker cover parodied scurrilous (and arguably racist) attacks on Barack Obama, Democratic nominee for the U.S. presidency, and his wife, Michelle: accusations that Barack is a closeted Muslim, that Michelle “hates whitey” and, most bizarrely, that a fist-pounding gesture between them was a “terrorist fist jab.” Canadian-born illustrator Barry Blitt intended to aim the joke at Obama’s ignorant detractors, but some Democrats took offence anyway.

    Neither Stewart or Colbert appear to be worried about stirring up controversy with their meta-satire. Interviewer Josh Wolk reports that while getting dressed up in the “secret Muslim” garb for the cover shoot, Stewart wondered aloud whether it would be “weird to be dressed like this and have a bagel, salmon and a schmear.”

    Love the Entertainment Weekly cover!  We think Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are hilarious!
