I've watched this clip a few times already this morning. I needed a palate cleanser after all the horrible news stories I'm hearing today.
Thanks Dan and Stephen!

Thanks Dan! This is funny and insightful at the same time.

I've been working on a non-monogamy letter to you. It's on the (gay male) couple issue of "we both agree on the value of occasional non-monogamy but I know my partner is the type that develops emotional feelings for people he has sex with and I'm not, so should we even risk it?" ;-)

This was cute. But while I know it's Colbert's shtick is to be all in-your-face/Mock-Conservative-O'Reilly-Interrupt-Mode it did get a bit frustrating that everytime Dan was trying to finish a thought he'd interrupt him with some smarmy comment.

I just wish he would have let Dan finish a thought once in a while and THEN do his silly stuff.

Regardless though it was a lot of fun.

"Weapons-grade gay" is my new favorite phase.

Congrats, Dan on your promotion from Colbert's "Spokes-Gay" to "Weapons-grade gay" guest. And you weren't even that gayest guy on the set! (Tad!)

So exciting you're part of the Comedy Central/MTV Networks family now! I can't wait for when they start airing the ten episodes they bought from you - is filming done? It already seems like forever since the deal was announced.

Great interview. I wish Dan had a chance when Stephen said "I'm married to a woman" to say "Not all women are monogamous either!" just to dispell this notion that women are always the "pure" ones while men are the horndogs barely holding themselves back from fucking every hole in sight.

Stephens face when he finally visualizes "one end of the guy and the other end of the same guy" is priceless.

I second #1. That was really funny.

2nd clip @ 4:00 -- BWAHAHAHAhahahahahhAHAHAHA. I don't think I've ever seen anybody crack Colbert up so badly, ever. Pure awesome.

I can't believe his straight buddy missed grilling, beer bongs, NASCAR, and how about bikinis?

Paella? Really? Next time he should call me in to get his back when he goes up against The Savage.

I'm pretty sure Dan is the only one to crack Colbert up so frequently. Possibly every time he's a guest? WIN.

That was an exceptionally funny interview. Dan also seemed very well prepared and got a lot of points out. Colbert's last quip- HA!

I agree that Colbert stepped over Dan a bit too much. But that breakdown was awesome. Paul Dinello is a goddamn genius.

Good Colbert Report, Dan. I still prefer your on-air and heavily bleeped explaination of pegging and the look on Stephens face.

#4: As soon as your boyfriend realizes he's developing feelings for the 'other', he should immediately stop, perhaps all contact, and romance you for a few weeks before delving into the open-scene again. Same goes towards you, too.

Oh, this was an awesome interview. I think I'm done with the internet for a while.

I thought Paul Dinello's "jokes" were a little redundant and annoying, that character had potential but I wanted to kick him in the head by the end.

I love Dan's endearingly cranky, semi-belligerent expression while he's processing Colbert's obnoxiousness.

I just about died laughing when Paul said "Paella!" I really miss "Strangers with Candy."

Dan's my hero. He's never flustered, even faced with faux homophobia. He looks great on the T.Vees.

That's too funny. I've seen dozens of interviews Dan has done and I don't think I've ever seen him in a Polo shirt. A T-shirt, button down shirt and/or sweatshirt is about it.

The accountability buddy thing was lampooned on the South Park episode about reparative therapy called "Cartman Sucks." I won't elaborate too much as everyone should check it out, but basically the counselors assign each new entrant an "Accountabilabuddy" to help them resist their urges.
