Stephen Colbert Teases Megyn Kelly Over Obama/Romney Chyron Error

» 25 comments

On Thursday’s Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert ribbed “Queen of Narnia” Fox News’s Megyn Kelly over her network’s chyron error, mixing up a photo of Mitt Romney with Barack Obama .

Colbert lauded Kelly for correcting the mixup, but said “talk is cheap.”

“To make it up to Mitt Romney, you have got to accidentally put up the wrong picture for every other candidate,” Colbert suggested. “Maybe for Rick Perry you go with George Bush as played by Josh Brolin. Ron Paul, maybe a dried apple doll. Gingrich, a Bob’s Big Boy. Michele Bachmann, a startled lemur. Rick Santorum, let’s say a vanilla ice cream cone that hates gay people!”

    When you hire interns to run the graphics, you get what you pay for.

    Why are left wingers so worked up by a minor graphics error?

    Subliminal messaging from fox. Mitt and Obama are the same. They want newt to get the nom so he can lose. 4 more years of Obama equals high ratings for fox.

    Define worked up? Just making a joke of it. No big deal. It is funny.

    Fox is plagued with minor graphics errors…you can’t count their errors from the past year on your hands and toes.  They’re a joke without Colbert making fun.  If I were you, I’d ask to be compensated by Fox for your time not well spent viewing their hot mess.

    Megyn has really made effort to get back in shape after having her baby. She looks fantastic.

    Yes, a little QC would serve Fox well.

    Megyn Kelly is inept at her job and has been for years!!

    Fox would have fired her and replaced her with one of the other 20 blonde news actresses that fox employs, if she didn’t get back in shape, as Colbert points out.

    I loved the blonde bimbo roll call of “not Megyn’s”,

    So, are you done yet with that paranoid Joneser screed? The nice men with the white coats are here to pick you up when you’re finished.

    Megyn Kelly’s joke in her apology was funnier than Colbert’s segment!   

    Nice sexism, all women look alike. Funny enough, the joke actually shows that Fox News has a very diverse news staff, would be refreshing for the liberal bastions of media to follow suit and hire and promote based on skill and ability, rather than their favorite ‘white guys’.

    If you’re looking for diversity, watch Fox News.  If you like watching white men talk, watch Comedy Central ‘fake news’.

    Kelly’s one of their top hosts in terms of talent alone.  Brett Baier is a good looking guy, yet no one talks about that.  Both are very talented, bright and have an earnest on-air personality.   Sexism is alive and well.

    you’re an idiot.  She is one of the few shows that I will watch if I can.  She’s one of the best interviewers and is on the top of her game.

    Yes, she wouldn’t date anyone like you, but that’s to her credit.

    women all look alike to Colbert.  He gets that way because with only a single woman on his entire on-air and writing staff, he doesn’t have to differentiate in his own little world.

    No, Megyn is also trained as an attorney, she is not like the “other” wannabe gorgeous blonds, because she is pretty smart too. Of course, she is misquided much of the time, but that is what makes her fun.

    Megyn Kelly is more interested in being a cable news sex symbol than a credible interviewer!!

    Yea it is QC when FOX constantly displays Democrat or a capital D under Republicans caught in scandals on their news spots. I would say that is good [sic] edititing on Murdoch’s arm of the GOP.

    When you compare Fox news to “COMEDY CENTRAL” than your only making Fox News look like a joke. People in the “news” business should be held to a higher standard than people on a comedy show where people clearly know where the jokes are at because most people watching Colbert and Stewarts show have already seen the news that they are making fun of.  Its a sad day when people like Colbert and Stewart have more credibility than people who are supposedly news anchors. Most people in the media now are opinion anchors who have a bias to a certain political party.
