Mutually beneficial

More like "Night of a bunch of overlong bits!" Haha, no. It was alright - if only for the quasi-"Mr. Show" reunion with some bona fide new (albeit fleeting) Bob/David skits.

Where was my good buddy Norm Macdonald? He was advertised on the Comedy Central Web site but probably got relegated to "commercial break" duty. Good thing we got to see Jimmy Fallon's always funny Barry Gibb instead!*

Will Ferrell's Robert Goulet is definitely an overlooked gem as far as his over the top, not at all accurate but funny because it's so over the top impressions go (see also: Neil Diamond, George W. Bush, Janet Reno, and so on).

Ben Stiller was totally channeling Tony Wonder for that David Blaine bit.

Colbert's line about waiving his appearance fee may have been joke of the night for me.
