Editing Alan Colmes (section)

==In popular culture==
On January 5, 2009, the beginning of his last week on ''Hannity & Colmes'', Colmes was a guest on ''[[The Colbert Report]]'' in a spoof called "Colbert & Colmes", which parodied criticisms of ''Hannity & Colmes''. In addition to being given a list of pre-approved responses to [[Stephen Colbert]]'s opinions and forced to sit on a stool (making him appear shorter than his co-host), Colmes' face was covered by the on-air graphics while Colbert discussed issues of the day.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/06/colbert-colmes-alan-colme_n_155545.html | title=Colbert & Colmes: Alan Colmes Joins Colbert Report For One Night | last=Shea | first=Danny | website=[[The Huffington Post]] | date=January 6, 2009 | access-date=February 23, 2017}}</ref> Colbert "fired" Colmes by the end of the show for pointing out fallacies in his logic.

Following Colmes' announcement that he was leaving ''Hannity & Colmes'', ''[[The Daily Show|The Daily Show with Jon Stewart]]'' also paid tribute to him with a guest appearance by rock duo [[Hall & Oates]], who in a parody version of their hit "[[She's Gone (Hall & Oates song)|She's Gone]]", dubbed him "[[Tango & Cash|Tango to his (Hannity's) Cash]]" and "[[Laurel and Hardy|Laurel to his Hardy]]".<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/12/daily-show-hall-and-oates_n_150489.html?page=3 | title=Daily Show, Hall And Oates Pay Tribute To Alan Colmes | work=[[The Huffington Post]] | date=December 12, 2008}}</ref>
