Thursday in Philly

Okay, so it’s not quite Thursday yet, but I’m exhausted and need to get some sleep if I want to keep up with Pete on the air tomorrow. Another busy show is planned. We’re having a blast here in Philly. I got to see Pete’s warm-up at Colbert and then watch the taping. If you missed Wednesday’s episode of The Colbert Report, you definitely want to catch the last segment on a replay. Pete and I both promise you it will be worth it. Tears were streaming out of my eyes I was laughing so hard.

So today we covered cheesesteaks, gay rights, Latino issues, and other random stuff. Sean (the producer who’s on scene with us keeping shit running) has taken a bunch of pictures. I’ll try to get some up today before or during the show.

Update: Photos from Wednesday’s show!

Blogcaster Joe SalzoneJoe Salzone’s blogcast rumor mill is blazing. Hot on the heels of revelations that Salzone is the soon-to-be-infamous “Client 1″ at Tony Danza’s “Who’s the Boss? I’m the Boss!” prostitution ring, the Pete’s Big Mouth blogcaster says Pete’s wife is leaving him. As Pete’s official fact-checker, I just made an inquiry, but Val wasn’t commenting. So should she leave Pete for Joe? Should Pete’s call screener and sometimes blogcaster Alexandra leave Pete for his older brother?
