The Colbert Report takes some time to get into. You have to take everything he says with a grain of salt. He's so full of base satire, it's often hard to tell whether he's being serious or not. His interview strategy usually just makes otherwise informative guests backpeddle in his shit, so they often blow ass. The first 10 minutes, though, (especially The Word) are fucking great once you get them.
C'mon, though, The Daily Show wasn't that great for a long time, until Craig Kilborn left. Give Stephen some time and the benefit of the doubt. Then lynch his ass, if you want to. It's a free country.

Neither do I sometimes. That's where he loses a lot of people. I'm all for not hitting your audience over the head with every point but, especially in interviews, he's often quite confusing. We'll see if he gets picked up for another season.
In any case, The Daily Show is still the reigning king of Comedy Central.

kilborn was the host of daily show before stewart

to topic:

personally i love the colbert report, his over the top sarcastic dead pan delivery is one of my faves. colbert was my favourite correspondent.

his over patriotic, christianism is part of the schtick. it's a play on all those 'pundits' that are dime a dozen.

if i could only watch one though i'd pick daily show. just because of the additional segments with different reporters that the repore lacks.

He was the best, for sure. That's why he always hosted the show when Jon couldn't. The Daily Show still has a lot of good correspondants but none stand out like Stephen did. Maybe Rob Cordry.

I am all about the colbert report his sarcasm rocks...The daily show just doesn't do anything for me I sit there and watch and I am like this is boring...

Sarcasm doesn't have to be intelligent to be funny. That's why I love the Daily Show so much. It's intelligent humour. The Colbert Report is aok though. I just pray that it IS a satire, because he plays a really believable conservative evangelist.

For all that wonder,

Colbort is playing the all American typical neorealist. It's the most prominent ideology. It's really power based, views international system as anarchic and states as individual actors.

word? kilborn was the original host eh?...how long ago was that?....he must of reeeaaly sucked!

but yeah...just to add

the daily show is kinda sedate.stewart's over the top goofy at some points during his delevery and his lame bush impressions piss me off.

clobert is just a fucking lunatic who says waay over the top offensive things and gets CLEAN away with themcuase in most cases its ass bustin funny. that scores HUGE points in my books. the guys hilarious.

did anyone see the first episode back after a week off when he got toatally fucking schooled by that young islamist guy??? that was golden...all he could do is laugh at himself and give the guy props.

yes, colbert is being sarcastic.

originally it bounced well off of stewart when colbert was on the daily show... a good antithesis to stewart's leftism, as ironic as it was being. can it anchor its own show? kinda sorta. but then again, stewart isn't always 100%.

btw, it took me about 3 months of watching the colbert report before i figured out why he always left the t in report silent.....

You'll notice whenever he has a special report, he always heavily over-emphasizes the "t" in that report.

ebbomega · #17 (**permalink**) Apr 21, 06

Because the T is silent in Colbert.

Anybody seen this yet?

2006 White House Correspondents Dinner with Stephen Colbert and Pres. Bush

Colbert is officially the man. He starts off a speech four feet away from Bush's face by saying please shoot me in the face. He goes on to say that they aren't rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic; the Bush administration is soaring, so if anything they are rearranging chairs on the Hindenburg. That guy has gigantic balls.

Coldbert Coldbert Coldbert Coldbert!!

colbert reports is way better than daily show!!

mapleleaf4ever · #22 (**permalink**) Apr 18, 07

I love the Colbert Report.

Just as I may not agree with him 100% of the time, his delivery entertains me regardless.

Vitamin-X · #23 (**permalink**) Apr 18, 07

Way more amusing than the daily show.

He argues with his guests in such a hilarious style that no one goes home offended, and new people aren't afraid to come on his show.

Phrenetic · #24 (**permalink**) Apr 18, 07

i watch the Colbert Report just to see the begining where he just points at the camera in every take

Sykonee · #25 (**permalink**) Apr 18, 07

Strangely enough, I actually like Colbert's Better Know A District series. Even though it's mainly a segment to interview congressmen, it's an amusing way to find out little things about forgotten corners of the States.
