That was a great piece all the way around. No one does it better than Colbert!

I think you were better this time, too, Ezra.

AZ: Better than Ezra? Not possible! Unless you've got a really good drummer.

Unfortunately, I can't judge for myself, since "videos are not currently available in my country".

Bummer.

Ezra, awesome job. Stephen Colbert is such a smart guy. Love that show.

And it's always better with Ezra. ;)

Man, Ezra needs to write a book or something so he can be a regular guest instead of a second act mini-guest.

I'd love to see his name on the cover of a book. But I would rather see it on a ballot.

Nice segment. Better than Cats!

I think Ezra and Colbert did a good job here.

But was "our system has never survived a 51% vote before" meant as a joke? If it is, it does not look like anyone got it.

"The testicles in chief have descended": brilliant!

Great job, Ezra. Just wish they'd have you on longer! But you kept up nicely with the rapid fire pace.

Cool - did they have you back again so soon because you were rudely cut-off after about 30 secs last time? :P That was lame.
