Looks like Stephen Colbert read this correction in the New York Times. Gawker found this hilarious transcript from Wednesday night’s The Colbert Report:
Now, before we start, there is something else I need to talk about,
this correction in yesterday’s New York Times. Let’s go full frame with
this.
You see, the Times mistakenly reported that in the first episode of
this show, “The Colbert Report,” THE WORD was “trustiness.” It was, in
fact, “truthiness.”
Trustiness? That’s not even a word!
Doesn’t surprise me one bit the “New York Times” hasn’t heard of truthiness.
I’ll tell you one thing, somebody better go to jail for 85 days over this.
You know what, New York Times? Apology not accepted.
So let’s go straight to THE WORD, which tonight is something even the New York Times can’t possibly get wrong. Cat. C-A-T, cat.
I’ll give the guys over at the “Times” a second to write it down.
