'Downton Abbey' actors are 'Breaking Bad' in Colbert video spoof

Stephen Colbert is the host of "The Colbert Report" airing at 10:30 p.m. weeknights on Comedy Central, cable 61. SCOTT GRIES/PictureGroup

Leave it to Stephen Colbert to take after First Lady Michelle Obama for asking for an advance copy of hugely-popular and posh Brit series "Downton Abbey."

As a "commoner left to fear what will become of Downton Abbey" until the hit series returns January 6 on PBS, last night the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" comes up with his own spoof of the drama combined with – wait for it – "Breaking Bad."

Colbert even has "Abbey" stars Hugh Bonneville, Jim Carter and Rob James-Collier cooking "black camomile crack" in a mobile (pronounced mo-byle) lab and quoting lines like "Soon Downton will be kicking it with mad bitches and benjamins."

When Lord Grantham meets a buyer (played by Mark Consuelos with bad fake teeth but perfect pinky form), the man agrees it is good stuff and will take his with milk.

Following a violent confrontation, butler Carson (Carter) declares Lord Grantham (Bonham)is the "new tea kingpin of Yorkshire."

"Yes but it's a mixed blessing," the Lord replies. "As Byron once said 'Mo money, mo quandries.'"

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
