The display has been extended until April Fool’s Day, but unfortunately I’m not going to get to Washington to see it ….

Stephen Colbert really made me chuckle just now … in reviewing the Super Tuesday results, he listed some of the states Barack Obama had won but then dismissed them as states with mainly-black populations like Idaho or “Minnesota …. home of ‘Soul Brother #1,’ Garrison Keillor.”

This was how it started Monday night:

And it continued on “The Colbert Report.” And then this is how it ended, on “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”:

Yes, I wish I had a TiVo. Tonight, after my bedtime, Craig Ferguson will have his citizenship swearing-in ceremony from last Friday on his show.

But Conan — according to the promo I just saw on NBC — will have a comedy bit with Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, a backstage fight relating to their mock feud about who is responsible for Mike Huckabee’s presidential campaign.

Both shows air at the same time. I can’t tape both, and in order to watch one and tape the other I would have to stay up past my bedtime.

A searing feud erupts in late night. Part 1:

Part 2:

Hey, ‘coma, did you see this strike video? My brother forwarded it to me.

A “Daily Show with Jon Stewart” classic, from their new web site. Colbert and Carell at their funniest.

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve encouraged you to listen to “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me.”

Well, this week you have even more of a reason to listen, because the “Not My Job” guest is, according to the opening credits of his TV show over the months,

• grippy
• megamerican
• Lincolnish
• superstantial
• freem
• eneagled
• flagaphile
• good
• gutly

Yes, it’s the author of “I Am America (And So Can You!),” and perhaps the next president of the United States, Stephen Colbert.

Of all the nights to fall asleep on the couch in front of the TV. I saw Stephen Colbert’s appearance on “The Daily Show,” but missed the big announcement on Colbert’s own show a few minutes later. (Clip contains a bleeped and punctuation-obscured Bad Word.)

Here, in case you missed it, is a very funny guest column Colbert had written for Maureen Dowd a few days earlier, hinting at his possible decision.
