Stephen Colbert will be returning to his rightful place alongside Jon Stewart.

It seems like it has been forever since Stephen Colbert’s show unexpectedly suspended tapings, leaving fans in a tizzy and forcing Comedy Central to squash the rumors.  Was it a bear attack?  Was it politically motivated thanks to the Colbert Super PAC?  Did he offend the wrong people?  Apparently, it was none of those things.  Stephen Colbert is back and the Colbert Report has resumed tapings, though Colbert has not addressed just where he went or why.

While the funny man didn’t directly say why his show took that unscheduled hiatus, he did make a few cryptic comments.  For example, Colbert said:  “Oh, one more thing. Evidently having 11 children makes you tough as nails.”  He soon added, “Confidential to a lovely lady.” Colbert also thanked his fans for their support and prayers on Twitter.

So we’re all in agreement, right?  Stephen Colbert is pretty much the best son ever, and he took time off from his show to spend time with his ailing mother.  Colbert is one of 11 children; his father and two of his siblings died in a 1974 airplane crash.  Colbert missed only two scheduled tapings of his program, but to fans, that two was enough to give everyone Dave Chappelle flashbacks.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
