The Colbert Report Season 2 Episode 122 -

Airdate: 2006-Sep-28

Episode summary:

Stephen starts off by showing another Green Screen Challenge entry featuring Colbert with an I-Pod. Then he offers the opportunity for Jewish people who want to be forgiven for offending Stephen Colbert, a toll free number displayed to call 1-888-OOPS-JEW (and yes, the number did actually work). Tonight's first segment is Stephen's war on the War On Christmas, The Blitzkrieg On Grinchitude, where he features Santa Claus, Indiana. For this segment he interviews, via satellite, Jerry Sanders, the retired Chief of Operations of the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial along side Will Koch, director of Hollywood Theme Park which includes Santa Claus Land, in a Lincoln versus Santa Claus debate. Then, Sarah Vowell, author of Assassination Vacation and somewhat of a presidential historian, briefly joins Stephen in the studio to weigh in on the Lincoln debate. The last segment of the night is Un-American News where he blasts the foreign press. Lastly, Stephen interviews Steve Wozniak co-founder of Apple Computers and inventor of the personal computer and author of iWoz.
