Stephen Colbert for President 2008!

So today I learned that I am going to have my memoir published in a book.  And not just any book, but a book that will also include Stephen Colbert’s memoir.  In the same book.  Did I mention it’s a book?  It’s so very book.

One little thing I might mention (and this is just a small aside) is that my memoir is only six words long.  And so is Colbert’s.  And everyone else in the book apparently.

Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure is due out in February.  But you can pre-order it now on Amazon.  Because I know you’re dying to read Colbert’s six magic words.  Maybe they’re “Ran for President in one state” or “Writer’s strike brought my campaign down.”  Who knows.

I’ll let you guys wildly speculate as to what my six-word memoir was.

No, unfortunately we’re not any closer to the presidency at the moment.

But, on January 7th, we will start seeing new episodes of The Colbert Report as well as The Daily Show beforehand!

And yesterday, Stephen was awarded the Associated Press’ Celebrity of the Year honor for 2007. This is awarded to the celebrity who is supposed to have had the biggest impact on popular culture during that year.

Congrats on the honor, Stephen. And we can’t wait to see you again on January 7th!

There once was a man named Colbert
To run for president he did dare
But the Democrats screwed us,
Like Caesar by Brutus,
So let’s watch him give Bush a scare.
(Cuz this seems as close to the Presidency as Stephen will ever get)
