Hell yes.

Just like Andy Williams
-
cracks me up!
-
I hope she doesn't sell out and try to make all her songs like 1234. Open Season is probably the best remix CD ever.
-
Colbert looks like J.R. "Bob" Dobbs in that photo.
-
even if it's used in a self-poking way as it is in this case (as about most of the time it's used anyway), just hearing those tired stale ass words is revolting.
-
Why is this biased, loudmouthed, half-witted no-talent lame*ss still on television ? Why wasn't he smothered at birth ? I am so sick of his pretentious, self-absorbed, smarmy attitude. Crawl back unnder a rock, 'BERT, you jack*ss.
-
just to enjoy this show even more.
-
See that's exactly why Colbert is so damn funny. ITS NOT REAL. Its all an act. He takes every bit of Bill O'Reilly and these other blowhard 'pundits' to the rediculous extreme. If you take it seriously your more cracked than he is.
-
but don't watch his whole show, only time i have comedy central on tends to south park or futurama.
-
of pee-wee's christmas show. sounds awesome.
-
... He might have a better argument.
-
...So stab with an upward motion.
-
He's either 10 or dumb. There's nothing you can do for him right now.
-
Republicans have no sense of humor. It's how you can differentiate them from actual human beings.
-
than "A _____ Christmas." Christmas has apparently been in danger more times than Lois Lane and Mary Jane combined.
-
I eagerly await this. I find Colbert considerably funnier than Stewart (who I think does a fine job).

Anyone think that Stewart was on the Warpath after Vacation
by OnusBone
He seemed pretty disgusted during that first segment.
-
Mondays show, FYI
-
Colbert does the best satirical commentary I've heard in a looong time (if not ever. Since Jonathan Swift, maybe). He's Bill O'Reilly mixed with the Fool from King Lear. Come to think of it, I'd love to see Colbert play the Fool (literally) in King Lear.
-
He's the best thing to happen to TV since... ever. He makes politics entertaining to watch, which, for me, is a miracle in itself. He has made my top three people in history that I'd like to meet: Jesus, Michael Jordan and Stephen Colbert. What a fun evening THAT would be!
-
Mr. "boot in your ass is the American way" does strike me as someone who wouldn't know he is the butt of this joke. I can't wait to see this.
-
He actually is anti-Bush and anti-war, like a lot of country singers, including his buddy Willie Nelson. Most of them keep their mouths shut after the whole Dixie Chicks fiasco, however.
-
Andy Williams, a near-to-death Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr, et. al.<p> Except those were legit holiday specials. This one sounds like a Naked Gun version of a holiday special full of whacky crazy South Park musical hijinks. played out.
-
I know, I know. "Who gives a fuck about Big Brother, drrrrrr." Just saying, there might be more interest in it over a soon-to-be cancelled FOX dramedy based on Snow White.
-
...except that, "The Night Hannukah Harry Saved Christmas" was a great SNL sketch... that's only good example though.
-
That's some razor sharp political commentary. Seriously, quit your day job.
-
...Colbert is the MAN! Heh, it's so great that right-wingers think he's actually one of them because, y'know, they don't realize he's laughing AT them...not with.
-
great stuff. Make a comedy album. Fuck that, make two. Invest all your money.
-
I expect Colbert to tear "papa bear" a new one for his ungodly attack on Christmas removing the word Christmas from An American Carol to further O'Reillys secret pagan agenda.<p> <p>P.S. O'Reilly's wife fucked Flavor Flav.
-
Not only is he an avid democrat, he also secretly drives a Prius, contributes op-ed pieces to the Atlantic Monthly under a pseudonym, is an expert certified sommelier, and has one of the most extensive collections of both Tiffany lamps and fabergé eggs in the United States and by the time I've finished typing this, perhaps in the world.
-
I will not be voting for McCain OR Obama next month. Not as a protest or out of lack of duty or any bull like that, but for the fact the elections are in NOVEMBER, NOT next month(October).
-
Are you trying to make fun of the people hating on Colbert because you think they are Democrats that don't like Colbert's right wing image and left bashing humor? That's what it seems like, and that's sad that you are that dense.
-
In response to TheCap's idiotic post.
-
I would watch A Colbert Labor Day Special. Colbert Nation, represent.
-
he's just not good at it
-
All one needs to do is watch the 24/7 news channels to see what Colbert and his gifted writers are doing. I'm a journalist in the United States Navy, and even I'm taught that a good journalist NEVER, EVER editorializes. CNN, MSNBC, and of course Fox all break this sacred rule every minute of every day and Colbert is calling them out on it. Kudos to him and Comedy Central for making comedy relevant.
-
... to make verbatim Democratic points since the campaign has heated up. I guess this election is just too "important" for satire. Jon Stewart has also rendered the first segment of the Daily Show unwatchable, but that isn't a new phenomenon.
-
I don't know if he is aware, but I think Casey Wilson mentions him in one of her blogs on funnyordie. Yep, definitely does. He's a regular DannyGloversDickBlood!
-
Granted he and Jon Stewart are being handed vast quantities of material on a plate thanks to the Republicans (and some Democrats) so they tear the Campaigns to shreds VERY easily indeed.<p> <p>It's also not Colberts fault that fuckwits like O'Reilly and Loyal Bushies are so easily mocked.<p> <p>And of course he's not Swift but he's 10000 X funnier than shit like the Fox News half hour news hour for a start.<p> <p>BTW grueman to attempt satire you generally have to be funny or have something to say. But keep trying as your embarrassing fumbling attempts merely ram the point home that satire is neither easy nor to be attempted by amateurs. Uberman for example knows how to starize and does so hilariously. You clearly do not.
-
seriously, it was wicked funny. Not the movie so much. The show, though, hilarious.
-
i definitely have thought stewart has been on the warpath since monday. i think he has recognized the position that he is in and is taking responsibility. there are a lot of people who wouldnt know what the hell is going on in america if not for him, so he is giving people an honest news broadcast, updating his viewers on whats happening in the world. honestly, now i know how people felt watching walter cronkite.
-
the other night one of his 'jokes' was just a straight line 'at least the democrats do this better..' without any satire to it at all. well so much for clever subtext ey?
