Stephen Colbert Confronts Willie Nelson Over Ice Cream

BuzzSugar — Wed, 21 Mar 2007 15:55:33 -0700

Willie Nelson appeared on The Colbert Report last night to discuss his new Ben & Jerry's flavor, Country Peach Cobbler. Seeing as how Stephen just got his own Americone Dream ice cream, he used the interview as an opportunity to confront his celebrity-dessert competition.

In case you missed it, Comedy Central has posted two highly entertaining clips. The first has Colbert calling out Nelson's nefarious agenda with an attack ad, in which an "ice cream expert" (read: little kid) asks: "Why would I want to eat ice cream the pot man told me to eat? Pot people are high. They'll eat anything."

The second clip is the actual interview with Willie, with an appearance from a very special guest. To watch the videos, read more

Got the Munchies? Try Willie's New Ice Cream

BuzzSugar — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 13:27:41 -0700

Not to be outdone by Stephen Colbert, Willie Nelson now has his own flavor of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, called Country Peach Cobbler. It sounds quite delicious and unlike any other Ben & Jerry's flavor I've tried: peach-flavored ice cream laced with cinnamon-sugar shortbread pieces. Plus, the packaging has Willie's face on it, which could provide hours of laughs. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Farm Aid.

You may have heard about the voluntary recall of 250,000 pints of Country Peach Cobbler, but no need to worry unless you are allergic to wheat. The ice cream is fine, but the packaging lacks an allergy warning. For details on how Ben & Jerry came up with the flavor, read more

In an interview with Ben & Jerry's spokesperson Sean Greenwood, Rolling Stone Rock & Roll Daily learned that the ice cream makers are far more likely to name a flavor after a musician with do-gooder tendencies. Though the article doesn't really explain whether Nelson approached Ben & Jerry's or vice versa, it does shed some light on the flavor selection:

Willie’s flavor took after the Southern style peach dessert because, according to Greenwood, “Willie is a downhome Texan Americana guy.” When they floated the peach idea by Mr. Nelson, his response was appropriately laid-back: “Groovy!” he reportedly drawled.

I'm going to see Willie Nelson during his five-night stint at the Fillmore in April, and you can bet I'll be picking up a pint or two of this stuff.

Ben & Jerry Do "The Colbert Report"

BuzzSugar — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 11:10:42 -0800

I know you're all excited about the launch of Americone Dream, the new Ben & Jerry's ice cream that combines two of our favorite things: Stephen Colbert and chocolate. But while I expected the usual hilarity when Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield appeared on "The Colbert Report" last night, the interview was even funnier that I'd anticipated.

In case you missed it, we've got a video from the segment, where Stephen introduces his newly christened ice-cream flavor. Here's a taste:

"That's right nation: Now you can join me internally as well as externally. Every delicious bite is full of crispy fudge-covered waffle cone - the only time I waffle... Look at the packaging! That picture is so hot it's amazing the stuff stays frozen."

It gets even funnier when Ben & Jerry talk about the forthcoming Willie Nelson ice cream, so to watch the video, read more

Colbert, Ben & Jerry to Launch New Ice Cream Tonight!

BuzzSugar — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 16:48:45 -0800

Tonight, Stephen Colbert will see his AmeriCone Dream come true when Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield appear on The Colbert Report to launch Colbert's ice cream! The AmeriCone Dream consists of vanilla ice cream, fudge-covered waffle cone pieces, and a caramel swirl.

Colbert has high hopes for the impact his dessert will have in freezer politics. According to a Ben & Jerry's press release:

Colbert believes AmeriCone Dream can make a difference. "I’m not afraid to say it. Dessert has a well-known liberal agenda. What I hope to do with this ice cream is bring some balance back to the freezer case."

Stephen Colbert is donating his proceeds from the sale of AmeriCone Dream to charity through The Stephen Colbert AmeriCone Dream Fund. The Fund will support charities of concern to Stephen such as food and medical assistance for disadvantaged children, helping veterans and their families, and environmental causes. Said Colbert, "I will save the world."

Well, whether the ice cream is another step toward saving the world or dominating it, my buddy Yum and I can't wait to taste the truthiness. Tune in to Comedy Central tonight at 11:30 p.m. to witness this historic event.

Ice Cream Moves Colbert Closer to World Domination

BuzzSugar — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 13:35:46 -0800

You might have heard by now that "The Colbert Report" star Stephen Colbert will be getting his own ice cream, courtesy of Ben & Jerry's. Now, I'm as excited as the next girl to dip into Americone Dream (vanilla ice cream, fudge-covered waffle cone pieces, caramel, and a dash of truthiness - "the sweet taste of liberty in your mouth," says the press release). But when my girl Yum and I were chatting about this, we wondered if Colbert maybe wasn't getting a little greedy. After all, he already has a hockey team, a bald eagle, and - oh, right! - a TV show.

On the other hand, is Colbert's potential for world domination really a bad thing? If he really wants to make his mark, maybe he could try to get his name on one of these:

An endowed chair at a major university (The Stephen Colbert Professor of Patriotism Studies, perhaps?)
A federal building
A planet
An element
A disease
A wild bear refuge

What Is Your Favorite One-Liner of All Time?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 07:30:00 -0700

I'm not sure what ice cream has to do with one-liners from TV and movies, but Boston ice cream company Brigham's is conducting a survey to find out what people think is the best one-liner of all time. The company polled 1,000 consumers of all ages throughout the summer, asking people to suggest favorite one-liners. Below are the top ten lines submitted, and now Brigham's is narrowing these down to one by asking people to vote on their site.

What do you think? Which of these one-liners is your favorite? And what famous one-liners do you think should have made this list?
