On Notice

On Notice is the second stage after being called out and it gives you time to clean up your act before you are "Dead to Me". According to Stephen, once you are put on notice you will receive a subpoena to appear on the show. If you do you not appear and apologize for your transgression(s) within 90 days, you will be moved to the "Dead to me" board.

Should DeVos, Romney, and Barbour Be On Notice??
At the Saginaw Spirit game on November 3, 2006, Michigan gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos dropped the ceremonial puck before the game. Along with him was Mississippi Governor Hayley Barbour and Taxachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Normally, these ceremonial puck drops are ho hum, they drop the puck, and that is it.

However, DeVos, Romney, and Barbour were all wearing Saginaw Spirit jerseys bearing their names and the number one. That is Stephen's number! He retired it! He raised it to the rafters! That number is his! It doesn't belong to anyone else!

Should DeVos, Romney, and Barbour be put on notice for wearing Stephen's #1? Does anyone from the show know about this? Perhaps they will read it here and find out about what has happened.

Being Put On Notice
It was believed by a stupid audience member that being put On Notice was a simple process of writing a topic Stephen was angry at on to a plastic card & then adding this card to the On Notice board. But in the August 2nd, 2006 airing of episode 130, Stephen outlines the difficult process by which On Notice cards (ONCs) are made; including the activation of Stephen's gut, the recently relocated On Notice Card Factory (ONCF) from Bangor, Maine to Bangalore, India & the transportation of the ONCs via truck, boat, train & eagle (in that order).

Factoids

 * Defective On Notice cards are used as a cheap source of housing & a high-fiber snack in India.



Off Notice
When you are taken "Off Notice" you will receive a basket of assorted fruits and a bottle of Stephen Colbert's designer fragrance, Scorn.

Jon Stewart was originally slated to be placed "On Notice" but was first "Called out". He was officially placed On Notice on August 10, 2006, and then taken "Off Notice" on August 14, 2006 when he was officially "Called out".
