The Colbert Report, is an American television program on Comedy Central that stars Stephen Colbert, best known previously as a correspondent for The Daily Show. It depicts the further activities of the Stephen Colbert correspondent character from The Daily Show, but in a different context — a direct, deeply mocking parody of right-wing political pundit programs like The O'Reilly Factor and Scarborough Country.

In the show, Stephen Colbert assumes the role of, as he has explained in interviews, a "poorly informed, high-status idiot" [1], a parody of pundit show hosts found on American cable television news, in particular Bill O'Reilly, but also with influences from Joe Scarborough, Sean Hannity, and Chris Matthews.

This is one of my favourite television shows. Any other fellow colbertnation citizens?

:O! To be honest, I discovered Colbert first, then Jon afterwards, and found that Jon wasn't as good.

Jon is hilarious, so is Colbert. But I prefer Jon's humor more... still love em both though.

There are tons of clips on youtube.
