Wag of the finger to Stephen Colbert

Shame!










If I thought there was a remote chance that a writer at The Colbert Report might have actually stumbled onto ...BEEHO, I'd have half a mind to sue.

In his "Tip of the Hat, Wag of the Finger" segment last night Colbert made reference to the latest inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, including non-performer Herb Alpert. He gave a wag of the finger to the Rock Hall for not recognizing Alpert's performer abilities, asking them to tell him "how this doesn't rock?" They then played a clip of "Spanish Flea."

Hmm -
that sounds familiar. That's because I made practically the same joke here at ...BEEHO three days before the segment aired.

(Note: I wrote this post shortly after the show aired, but I neglected to post hoping that a video clip of the segment would appear on the show homepage. No dice. The
Colbert Nation "fan" blog didn't even mention it in the recap. So now my only hope for vindication are those that both saw the show and read my blog. Party of one?)

Colbert (or one his lackeys):

If you're back, trying to mine my blog for more comedic gold, you've got another thing coming, you hack!

Or

How about a trip to see the show?
