"Colbert Report" Gets Scoop On Harry Potter? (Satire)
HumorJune 07, 2007, 12:01 AM
With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows only weeks away now, reporters from all mediums are going out of their way to get the latest scoop... even when they may not be real reporters. Readers have been emailing in to let us know that recently, Comedy Central's The Colbert Report did a very funny satirical bit that featured "an advanced copy" (prop) of the not available to anyone, final Harry Potter book. In the clip, which you can see here, Colbert, reporting on the new iPhone, tells us about some of the other advance items he gets for being a 'celebrity.'
Thanks to everyone who mailed!
I love the colbert report!
Stephen Colbert is a genius!
Haha, I saw this episode! Stephen Colbert reads Harry Potter, by the way. On an episode that aired like a year ago, when he was interviewing Al Franken (hilarious interview, by the way), he referenced the whole priori incantatem situation in GoF. It made me love the show even more.
Clobert?
I know that it is a fake,But i can't help but get excited to see it 'in person' like that! LOL
Yippee! That's the first time I ever mailed in about a news tip, and it got on! Thanks everyone else, too who emailed Melissa. Now I feel *special*
OMG! Hermy's a dude?!?! Why did he just blow book 7 for us all?
(just kidding, of course I know it's fake)
The "Clobert" Report LOLOL!!
I saw this a night or two ago! this is one of my favorite shows.
*laugh* Sorry, Colbert. Hermione being a dude is no spoiler XP
That was really funny! Anybody know when it aired? Is it tonight?
The iPhone + Deathly Hallows + Steven Colbert = three of my most favorite things...
Hermione's a dude - SPOILER ALERT! :)
Ashley, this aired on last night's (June 5th) episode of the Colbert Report.
I love Colbert. His satire is first class!
actually the book he used for the show ad blank pages, you can see them when he turns the pages.
a copy of DH with no print, just blank pages??
oooh!! what a deliciously wicked idea!!
you could have a lot of fun with that! (as long as your definition of fun extends to seeing people looking both crestfallen and irritated.. i know mine does) mmmwwahahahahaha!! (evil laugh)
Hermione a dude?
does that mean Ron is gay?
uhhhwww!!!there are hords of characters I think they are, but not Ron.
*grumble* next we hear Draco is a girl.
