From today's David Carr column on Stephen Colbert's appearance on Meet the Press yesterday:

For decades, my 84-year-old father in Minnesota has taken a church-and-state approach to Sunday mornings: First church, then Sunday morning talk, sometimes phoning me afterward with updates about who said what. Mr. Colbert's appearance left him scratching his head.

'I don't even know what Comedy Central is,' he said. 'What cable station is it on? My wife wondered what it was all about, and we decided that it was a nut that is supposed to be serious. Who the hell really cares about that?'
