TV Shows - Colbert Report, The
The Colbert Report is a Peabody Award- and Emmy Award-winning American satirical television program that airs from 11:30 p.m. to 12:00 midnight Eastern Time Zone (North America) each Monday through Thursday on Comedy Central in the United States and on both The Comedy Network and CTV in Canada. In the United Kingdom it airs at 11.00 p.m. on FX each Tuesday through Friday. It stars political humorist Stephen Colbert, a former correspondent for The Daily Show.
The Colbert Report is a spin-off of and counterpart to The Daily Show that, like The Daily Show, critiques politics and the media. It satirizes conservative personality-driven political pundit programs, particularly Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. The show focuses on a fictional anchorman character named Stephen Colbert, played by his real-life namesake. The character, described by Colbert as a "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot," is a caricature of televised political pundits.

I never watch this show, but Stephen Colbert the man boned when he decided he was too good to do voices on The Venture Bros. anymore now that he had his own show. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on September 27, 2010, 11:22 am - (0 votes)

Anybody can make the other side look stupid when they play the straw man. This show is not as smart as people want it to be. -- Submitted By: (tucsonspeed6) on April 9, 2010, 9:26 am - (1 votes)

Maybe, it might just be me and my brothers personal taste then. It just seemed quite odd that "Never Boned" had such a low count, and the other two choices are jacked up so high. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on April 4, 2010, 9:32 pm - (-1 votes)

I think what happened here was the ballot stuffer(s) pushed up "Never Boned" and as the number one reason. Topics with suspected stuffed ballots lose those reasons(IIRC, Colbert Report's "Never Boned" reason was over 400!). Day One was probably another reason with ballot-stuffing. Notice how Day One is no longer an option, but Never boned has been put back (you can tell because there's an exclamation point after "still rocks"). Then again, people (Reps and Dems alike) might think Colbert Report sucks because 1) it just isn't funny anymore, or 2) it was never funny to begin with. I never watched Colbert Report, so I can neither pan nor praise it. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on April 3, 2010, 2:36 pm - (0 votes)

Its amazing how many people don't get it. He is supposed to be a parody of what right wing commentators on TV are. Chubby, any check on this one to see if the voting totals are rigged on this one, and you didn't check this show? -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on April 2, 2010, 4:02 pm - (-1 votes)

Was good until: he ran for in the democratic primary in 2008. when Bush left, Obama got elected, and the balance of political power shifted to the left (a bit), and finally, when he did his special live from irak. (how much more of a sell-out can you be). -- Submitted By: (gebm) on April 2, 2010, 12:27 pm - (0 votes)

I am surprised any conservatives are able to figure out that this show is real seeing how that demographic is prone to being overloaded with morons easily convinced of anything. -- Submitted By: (seriously) on November 14, 2009, 1:26 pm - (-1 votes)

I was highly encouraging when Colbert Report first showed up. It was a welcome change from The Daily Show and Colbert and always been one of my favorite anchors on Daily Show, along with Carell, Corddry, and currently, John Oliver. At first, the character of an ultra-Christian, conservative, right-wing news pundit was very funny to watch for me. But I think after about three seasons, the joke ran its course and everyone began to catch on. I think the character itself has also become less consistent and it's nowadays more or less Colbert himself sitting in the anchor chair. The reason I think it fails ultimately as a show is the same reason the original Daily Show with Kilborn was ultimately unsuccessful: you can't just watch one guy doing the same thing five nights a week for six seasons and not get tired of it. On the current Daily Show, Stewart has an amazingly talented group of co-anchors and correspondents. On Colbert, if he jumps to anything, it's still about him. He's a one-man news and comedy machine and the lack of variety has ultimately hurt him because he is not actually a news show. O'Reilly can get away with it because he's just doing the news (sort of). Colbert is essentially doing a stand-up routine that hasn't really changed for six years. I think the show is ultimately running on its early success and hype and its pretty rabid core fanbase who make Colbert out to be a hero although truthfully, he seems to have become part of the media blitz and belligerence he once parodied. -- Submitted By: (SamuraiPanda201) on July 22, 2009, 12:58 pm - (0 votes)

No one could be as stupid as the previous poster intimates. Of course these people know it's all fake and Colbert is as liberal as they come. Besides, they're just on to push their left-wing books or agendas. I'm surprised that some conservatives actually think this clown is on our side. -- Submitted By: (GregEichelberger) on July 15, 2009, 4:03 am - (1 votes)

Sometimes it's funny watching seeing those guests who (despite the pre-show disclosure ) actually think Stephen's totally LEGIT in what he's saying! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on May 12, 2009, 11:36 am - (0 votes)
