Daily Show Wins Emmy Award


Colbert Loses to Barry Manilow!

Jon Stewart and the Daily Show are Emmy winners for the best variety, music or comedy series and for the best writers. Yay!

Stephen Colbert - "a man Time magazine recently named to its list of 100 People Who Shape Our World" lost to Barry Manilow!


Weird. Just plain weird.

The category Manilow won and Colbert did not was called, "outstanding individual performance in a variety or music program."

"I lost to Barry Manilow! BARRY MANILOW!" Colbert screamed. "I lost to the Copacabana! Singing and dancing is not performing!"

But two of Colbert's word inventions -- "Truthiness" and "Wikiality" -- were named on Sunday by the Global Language Monitor as television's "top buzzwords of the year."
