On the heels of the Fox News protest he led outside the NewsCorp Building and his album hitting No. 1, Nas stopped by the Colbert Report to chat with Stephen about why he was in a flame war with Fox and Bill O'Reilly in particular, the scrapped title of his album, and how the news media is somehow more sensationalist than ever before. Video of him performing his Fox News dis "Sly Fox" after the ju
Exhibit A:
The New Yorker runs a satirical cartoon image of a political figure - this is news? It’s clearly poking fun of the FOX sponsored campaign of smear on Obama. I think it’s funny. Much funnier that say being a conservative Republican and seeing a cartoon of your candidate doing something asinine that’s actually true [...]
My day isn’t complete unless I top it off with The Colbert Report on Comedy Central. I positively LOVE the guy and think he is a comic genius.
So when I saw the other day that he was having another green screen challenge, I knew I had to take it!
Posted on June 4th, 2008 11:27 amStephen Colbert gave the commencement speech at Princeton University this past weekend. As usual, The Colbert Report host offered everyone pearls of wisdom. “Gandhi said, ‘you must be the change you want to see in the world,’” Colbert told an audience of thousands. “But may I also point out he drank his own urine, so let’s not go overboard on his ad
It’s ashamed I am for the Irish because Bill O'Reilly from The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News is one of us. Regardless of your politics, O'Reilly often is thought of as a bit of an ass because he has a reputation for behaving somewhat abusively.
Someone found an old tape of O'Reilly having a meltdown from the early 1990's when he worked for Inside Edition, so we thought we might share some of that
Since it’s that time of year, and I wanted to avoid another day like this, some word’s from Stephen Colbert’s 2006 Address to the graduates of Knox College.
But you seem nice enough, so I’ll try to give you some advice. First of all, when you go to apply for your first job, don’t wear these [...]
Stephen Colbert has come to the defense of his beloved faux-idol Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly. The conservative black hole of douchism, and host of FOX News' The O'Reilly Factor, has been getting his nuts kicked in via the Internets after an embarrassing video leaked of him flipping out on the set of Inside Edition which he anchored 20 years ago. You might be asking, "What's this got to do with an
On Tuesday night's "Colbert Report," Stephen Colbert had fun with Bill O'Reilly's "Inside Edition" meltdown, showing "never-before-seen" mock footage of his own past as midday anchor at WPTS in Patterson Springs, NC. Watch as Colbert freaks out over the words written on the teleprompter in true O'Reilly fashion. The video is in the comments below. Popular: 12 hours 53 minutes ago source: (www.h
Posted on May 13th, 2008 11:04 amEvery night on The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert preaches “truthiness.” That is, a version of facts that doesn’t exactly take evidence, logic or intellectual examination into account. However, there’s nothing illogical about this: the sarcastic talk show host turns 44 today! In honor of his birthday, we bestow upon Stephen Colbert the gift that would
I don't often watch something that makes me laugh out loud by Stephen Colbert's dance off with Korea's "Rain" is hilarious!! "Rain" is a huge talent here in South Korea. I hope he makes it big in the U.S. too.Enjoy!

The Rain vs. Steven Colbert "feud" goes on.Rain has been practicing his English and responded to Colbert's K-pop video from last year:It's funny and shows that Rain, or someone in his management, has a great sense of humor.Here is last year's post on the topic: All Over You Like Egg In a Bowl of Bibimbap!Thanks to the Metropolitician for posting this.
As a resident of Atlanta and a big Stephen Colbert fan, I feel a little conflicted here:
Look out Georgia.
Stephen Colbert brought his fanciful presidential campaign to the campus of the University of South Carolina on Sunday, telling several hundred sign-waving fans that he’ll take care of the rival state to the south.
“I promise, if elected, I will crush the state of Georgia,” the 43-year-old actor-comedian said to the cheering crowd.
He also went on to compare the fruit offerings of both states:

Last night, Stephen Colbert appeared on The Daily Show and announced he would be making a statement on whether or not he was considering running for president. Stephen chose to hold his announcement for a more prestigious show however, that aired about 15 minutes after Stephen dropped this first bombshell. Months upon months of buildup and speculation have created a fever pitch surrounding Stephen Colbert's possible candidacy. And on last night's Colbert Report, Stephen finally announced he was running for president of the United States.So far, Stephen has officially only said he will be campaigning in South Carolina, which certainly must mean Clinton and Obama are breathing sighs of relief. Stephen is running as a democrat and as a republican, further blurring the lines between indecisive parties. Man of the Year anyone? And yes, however any of this turns out, certainly has to be better than that stinker of a movie.I eagerly await the South Carolina primary, assuming Stephen a
Stephen Colbert announced his candidacy for president on "The Colbert Report" on Tuesday night, tossing his satirical hat into the ring of an already crowded race. Well let me tell you folks, if Steverooni can run for president then I am going to run for King.

A Mock Columnist, Amok - New York Times
He was sneering that Times columns make good “kindling.” He was ranting that after you throw away the paper, “it takes over a hundred years for the lies to biodegrade.” He was observing, approvingly, that “Dick Cheney’s fondest pipe dream is driving a bulldozer into The New [...]
This article revealed that Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central's "Colbert Report" wants to run for the office of President as both a Democrat and a Republican.In his native state of South Carolina, Mr. Colbert can kick of his campaign using media outlet ETV to garner support from fellow citizens of SC. He is gracious enough to allow the public to determine which party he truly belongs in. As a returned favor to Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, who previously mentioned he'd like Colbert to be his Vice President, Colbert has decided that Mr. Huckabee can be his VP, if and when he is elected.For those of you who read my recent post about Why America Will Never Vote In A Comedian President, you already know my thoughts on the idea of electing someone on the basis of their TV or movie persona. However, Mr. Colbert insinuated that his persona isn't necessarily the one that's running for President. Saying that he's really two people who go by the same name, it's possible that if Ameri
Just so that the Koreans do not get the idea that Stephen Colbert only makes fun of them, here he is on a new restaurant in Tokyo : It's not a place I will be visiting soon. Link from Keeping Pace in Japan which is another blog on Japan I've recently added to the blogroll.

As I’d previously mentioned, three of my friends know that I’m an atheist. One, whom I shall call Fred*, is somebody I might consider a little batshit crazy. I’m not sure if he’s an atheist like me, because he flip-flops a lot, but I knew he wouldn’t care in the least whether or not I [...]
I recently linked to a news story that told of Colleges charging more for some majors.Should an undergraduate studying business pay more than one studying psychology? Should a journalism degree cost more than one in literature? More and more public universities, confronting rising costs and lagging state support, have decided the answers may be yes and yes.Now comes the definitive answer - courtesy of Stephen Colbert.
Stephen Colbert broke his left wrist on set of "The Colbert Report" on Thursday while running around the New York studio before taping a new episode. Outch!... Colbert removed a large "No. 1" foam hand to unmask a small cast on air. "I didn't want to draw attention to it. I didn't want to play on your sympathy," Colbert said before dramatically grimacing.
The Han Solo of Comedic Political Commentary Stephen Colbert is most definitely a Nerd . After the release of the recent gift from god the Iphone, Mr. Colbert himself enjoys his newest acquisition. In his latest segment “March to Enslavement,” which is not that far off IMO, he talks about his predictions where we will bow to the robots that we eagerly create. To be frank we have reached the precipice of significantly huge technological advances, and as a society we are embracing these advances with the fervor of religion. We will see the day that we worship Machines… wait too late. Peep the Man after the jump (more…)

If you’ve ever wanted to know what Stephen Colbert looks like throwing out a ceremonial first pitch with a pint of his new Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, this should answer your question. I love Colbert’s old school windup—it’s half Walter Johnson, half Hideo Nomo, and half Chris Farley.
As many of you know, a few months ago Google reported an update to their algorithm designed to counter the phenomenon known as “Google bombing” or “link bombing”.
At the time there was a lot of debate around how this works and whether it was a genuine change to the algorithm - suggesting wider implications for link popularity and backlink profiles - or whether it was a manually implemented change.
At the time the change appeared to affect what is probably the most famous of Google bombs, George Bush’s bio ranking for “miserable failure” – however it didn’t affect the counter bomb, “great president” (probably because the page actually contains the term “president”).
Now the debate has come to the fore again.
Just a few weeks after Danny Sullivan hailed Stephen Colbert’s success at being considered the “Greatest Living American” by Google, it seems the Google-bomb-defusing algo has kicked in
By now you've probably seen the video of Stephen Colbert's parody video of Korean pop superstar Rain's "Way to Avoid the Sun" on the internet. In a nutshell, Stephen Colbert was peeved that Rain beat him out for the top spot as the "number one most influential" person in the world, as voted by readers. For those who haven't seen the video, watch Rain's video first...(thanks ZenKimchi for the link) then watch the Colbert clip:Here is Stephen Colbert all pimped out and singing in KOREAN! It's hilarious...my favorite part is the throwing of TIME magazine through the window:Obviously this has created a buzz in the Korean blogosphere. Check out reaction from netizens and Rain's reaction to the video. ZenKimchi gives a visual explanation of Colbert's token line to Rain, "I’m gonna be all over you like egg on a bowl of bibimbap!" If I was home right now, I would probably be puzzled as to what that meant. You can see the video on many blogs out there. This is my contribution of the S
Why any Congressman would agree to go on the Colbert Report is beyond me. If Stephen's logical fallacies don't get you the video editing will. But recently John Yarmuth bravely (actually, you may want to insert your own adverb here) debated the relative merits of throwing kittens into woodchippers - Yarmuth arguing in the affirmative. “Well, you know, there are times when you have to find a way to dispose of kittens," Yarmuth stammered and blinked.Since Yarmuth's performance, Rep. Rahm Emanuel (D-Ill.), the Democratic Caucus chairman, has told new Democratic members of Congress to steer clear of Stephen Colbert where Rep. Zack Space (D-Ohio) recently spent time trying to explain to Colbert that he is not his predecessor - convicted felon Bob Ney (R).Yarmuth, it turns out, is a fan of the show. So, he knew what he was in for. His hour and a half interview was shot on February 9 and then was edited down to the most embarrassing six -minute segment.Go here to see the Colbert Repor
I don't know if you have watched Comedy Central lately, but Stephen Colbert's "The Colbert Report" is a great program. You can get all of the latest news from the world and more often the political scene with a witty delivery. Stephen Colbert plays a far right talk show host who has an overpowering love for his country. This show is very entertaining and is also very capable of bringing up important issues. I highly recommend the Colbert Report because one, it brings up important issues and two, you will laugh your head off. Colbert is an excellent satirist who will be around for a long time to come.

This story has since been confirmed after Ben & Jerry's appeared on the Colbert Nation show on March 5, 2007 with the Americone Dream ice cream.Here is the original story with what where only rumors a month ago:According to a Colbert fan site, they got a scoop on the Ben and Jerry's carton design claiming it was leaked by a Whole Foods employee.Ben and Jerry's company spokesman Rob Michalak said: "I can neither confirm nor deny it. But I can say there's been a lot of experimentation with red, white and blue." The alleged design (shown here) cannot be confirmed. Any Photoshop pro could have put this together as a prank (and if it is a prank, great designer, huh?) because rumors have swirled on the Internet for months about a Colbert ice cream. Colbert has amassed a large fan base in the less than two years he has been on the air, and has even won a number of prestigious awards and recognitions. But most people know Colbert from John Stewart's Daily Show, where he was a corresponden
Stephen Colbert was issued a challenge by the mayor of a Canadian town, Oshawa, accepted and won.
Last night, Stephen Colbert’s favored hockey team, the Saginaw Spirit, defeated the Oshawa Generals, 5-4, and per the terms of their friendly wager, Oshawa Mayor John Gray will make his birthday, March 20, “Stephen Colbert Day” in Oshawa.
The ice was littered in Saginaw, Mich., last night. The first projectiles were loose pages of the General Motors annual report. They was followed by a flurry of teddy bears. One account told of a plastic fish being tossed.
The Generals are named after General Motors because their Canadian headquarters are in Oshawa.
Had he lost, Colbert would had to of worn a Oshawa Generals jersey on his show.
