1. Ah, Williams gets a little snarky
I think?-

My friends tell me that Colbert's mimicry of the narcissistic, preening, puffed-up personalities who inhabit TV news these days is spot on. Personally, I don't see it, but they find him very funny.

Williams is the anchor and managing editor of the NBC Nightly News

5. I got an idea -- everybody vote him a 5...
and then vote everyone above him a 1.
Just think of the comedic potential if Colbert is dubbed Time's Most Influential Person :rofl:
