Since Griffin's show is basically her life with cameras, and not scripted in the way that Colbert's is, I think so. Her episodes is/were probably close in form to that Jeffrey Ross documentary of his trips over there.
Rob Riggle did the segment equivalent of Colbert when he did reports for TDS while visiting the troops. Probably helped that he's USMC Reserve. Regardless, good on all of them for doing what they do. David P.S., Colbert's guest edited issue of Newsweek should be out soon. ________________________________ From: Keith Privett <[email protected]> "But the series of half-hour shows... mark the first time anyone has broadcast a taped show from Iraq from a tour intended to entertain U.S. troops." What about "Kathy Griffin:My Life on the D-List" ? (which by coincidence, starts a new season tonight) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0821299/ http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/kathy_griffin/2006_Jun_27_iraq_trip http://www.boston.com/news/globe/living/articles/2006/06/20/griffins_iraq_tour_is_surprisingly_human/ Perhaps "taped show" is intended to exclude this? Nonetheless, kudos to both for making the trip.... --- On Mon, 6/8/09, Kevin M. <[email protected]> wrote: From: Kevin M. <[email protected]> Subject: [TV orNotTV] "Operation Iraqi Stephen: Gong Commando" To: [email protected] Date: Monday, June 8, 2009, 11:10 AM "The Colbert Report" spent the weekend in the middle east.
