It makes a few of the persons in the videos confused but it’s a great skit.

H. Jon Benjamin is the man behind the fun. You might not know the name H. Jon Benjamin. That’s because since he’s become a big voice-over guy he’s changed his name to Jon Benjamin. Hope that clears things up.

You will know his voice from a number of animated shows like:

Coach McGuirk from Home Movies

Carl from Family Guy

Bob's Burgers

….and of course, Archer!

Now the folks at Comedy Central and Funny or Die are teaming up to bring you a new comedy series centered around the guy who voices some of our favorite characters on TV. And if you haven’t gotten into “Archer” yet I can’t recommend it enough.

“Jon Benjamin Has A Van” is best described as a mix of skits and investigative journalism. Or as I like to call it, “Coach McGirk Drives Around and Asks Crazy Questions.”

Check out the quick look of the show as well as some of the “You Can’t Shoot Here” skit which premiers tonight.

Actually, it’s because of his wallet. Colbert helped the U.S. speedskating team in funding and is now promoting the sport with all his energy.

[via AP News] The host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” appears on the front of the magazine’s latest issue wearing an Olympic speedskating uniform. The issue is devoted to sports media. It’s on newsstands Wednesday.

In November, devoted Colbert fans known as the Colbert Nation became the official primary sponsor of U.S. Speedskating. The team’s largest annual cash sponsor, DSB Bank NV, left the team in the lurch after it declared bankruptcy in October.

With contributions from fans, more than $250,000 has been raised.

Colbert has made Olympics-related material a nearly nightly fixture on his show

Besides speed skating, Colbert also likes bobsledding and tried his hand recently with the U.S. team. Please note the crazy-tight outfit.

Sorry. Even we can’t keep a straight face with that comment.

This time around, Fox’s Sean Hannity is busted using footage of Glenn Beck’s bigger protest two months ago to make the recent GOP’s health care rally appear more heavily attended. Ooops….

Now, you’re just a Google search away and no more sticky floors!

The Reno’s Sheriff Department does. With a few stipulations, of course. They don’t just protect against any bear attack. It has to be within the building.

CNBC chose not to fight back on Thursday following Jon Stewart’s brutal takedown of the network and its reporter, Rick Santelli, for backing out of an appearance on “The Daily Show.”

Stewart’s criticism of Santelli was reminiscent of David Letterman’s relentless attacks on Republican John McCain for canceling a “Late Show” appearance during the campaign last fall.

Santelli had become an online video star when copies of his criticism of President Barack Obama’s housing plan streamed across the Web. He accepted an invitation to be on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” Wednesday but changed his mind.

After saying that Santelli had “bailed out,” Stewart played a series of clips highlighting wrong predictions by CNBC during the economic meltdown.

He’s so brave!

Stewart had stated that CNBC failed to cover the financial crisis and ignored the impending crisis which they were well trained to prepare for.  NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker fired back at comedian Jon Stewart on Wednesday, saying it was “unfair” and “absurd” for the funnyman to criticize CNBC and question its coverage of financial news.

Stewart was right for calling out the network for turning a blind eye to the situation that they should be covering.

Zucker, speaking at the McGraw-Hill Media Summit in New York on Wednesday, said that CNBC’s reporters and commentators had done a “terrific” job and the network remained a “go-to” place for financial news.

“It’s unfair to CNBC and to the business media in general,” Zucker said. “I don’t think you can blame what happened here on the business media.”

Speaking later at the same event, Viacom Chief Executive Philippe Dauman defended Stewart, among the top stars of his company’s Comedy Central network.

“He’s very smart and has a connection with the zeitgeist,” Dauman said when asked about he controversy. “Jon Stewart’s one of the few people on air who spoke to what people were thinking out there.”

Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert takes on a new format with a new sidekick in Alan Colmes. The new format doesn’t seem to go too well for the William Fichtner look alike Colmes who doesn’t last too long sitting next to Stephen.

Overall, this 3 episode arch was wildly popular with South Park fans and gives us a reminder of the sarcastic wit that Matt and Trey have. You might have to watch the full episodes more than once to catch all the details such as a smurf with a battleaxe. However, the highlight of Episode III is the crazed Al Gore trying to destroy the evil “Man-Bear-Pig,” who is half man, half bear, and half pig.
