...for winning an Emmy each last night. Stewart took home the statue for Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series, and Colbert for Outstanding Writing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Program. Expect a Stephen Colbert-Don Rickles feud to erupt any day now, after Rickles beat Colbert out for the Outstanding Individual Performance In A Variety Or Music Program award. He just can't seem to win that award; Manilow beat him out in 2006 and Tony Bennett did the same in 2007.

Congrats also to Jeremy Piven of Entourage (Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series) and Tina Fey of 30 Rock (Outstanding Lead Actress In A Comedy Series) for their well-deserved wins.

And while we're at it, congratulations to the U.S. golf team for reclaiming the Ryder Cup.
