David Bianculli on Bill Moyers…on Colbert: On Tuesday, the night of the New Hampshire primary, Stephen Colbert had Bill Moyers as his special guest on The Colbert Report. Moyers was there to publicize his return from retirement and the launch of his new TV series, Moyers & Company. Colbert booked him to help him do just that — but as his on-screen persona as Stephen Colbert the pontificating political conservative, he was there to throw good-natured verbal punches. And Moyers, just as genially, matched him blow for blow.
I was a Bill Moyers wonk growing up. He is so insightful and forthright, and is not afraid to call people out on the iffier parts of what they say, but does it with such disarming good humor that I don’t think people realize he’s putting the screws to them.
Bill Moyers is a national treasure. Seriously. I’m so glad he’s coming back to tv.

There are three white guys I love, two for their politics and one because he’s family. Setting my Tio aside for a moment...
