This time it was presidential candidate Newt Gingrich who got Trekkified. Watch it below. Also yesterday the game show Jeopardy! had an entire cateogory dedicated for Star Trek director JJ Abrams, which included a Trek question of course.

You just have to love stephan. He is Smart and Funny.
Oh and the answer of course is Star Trek 2009.
Stephen Colbert is a serious geek. He’s a big fan of Lord of the Rings. And as evidenced by the Captain America shield on the wall, he’s fan of that superhero.
Colbert makes Star Trek references all the time. He’s interviewed J.J. Abrams. During an interview with physicist Brian Greene on parallel universes, Colbert starts talking about Mirror, Mirror. Link. So it’s clear, he’s a Trekker. Maybe Paramount can get Colbert a model of the Enterprise so when the camera pans over to the shelves, we can have a constant reminder of Star Trek.
Colbert interviews Brian Greene about parallel universes and channels TOS Mirror, Mirror.

It was a good show, but Colbert is always a hoot!

The UK’s “University Challenge” had a Star Trek clue in a round about famous engineers, a month or so back.
The first clue was “I will be born in Linlithgow, Scotland in 2222.”
Took all three clues before someone got the answer :-)
The Wrath of Newt.
The hair’s the same, right?
“When Mongo eat Klingon soul food like gagh Mongo hungry again hour later.”
That’s because the gagh has crawled out the rear exit on its own.
CmdrR mans! Mongo say hi.
Mongo say also you paint visual for peoples that take mental floss get rid of.
Looking forward to the day when a non-american can have the same internet rights and watch what you want on the net like Americans can…again I can’t watch these clips because of where i live…be worse under sofa..for all of us.
