I love his show...last night had me in stitches.

:rofl:

1. I love his show too

I hate to say it.. but I love this little geek more than Jon Stewart.. sorry John I still love you too.. but Steven I simply adore.

[Beaverhausen]

3. I know but it's almost like comparing apples to oranges

Colbert does such brilliant satire- and he is so fast on his feet. Jon is fast too, but in a different way.

Colbert has to twist his message pointing out the right's hypocracy by embodying it with his 'character.'

4. Poor John's in trouble when...

..he has to re-run old Colbert bits from his show. The people he has on his show just aren't up to Colbert's brilliance. Is Samantha Bee on maternity leave or what? Will she be back? She was pretty good, a similar persona to that of Colbert's on-screen one.

6. It was a "timely" bit.

15. She is on maternity leave

They mentioned it briefly last week--called her at home about something during a sketch.

17. I think they have great people. The new ones are coming along and

getting into the groove. Jon Stewart is on the whole the type of humour you can relax with and see yourself reflected in. Funnier more often cause he has so much material and a wider scope. I like all his reporters actually. Yes - colbert was special.. but that is why he has his own show.

Colbert - quick and twisted and you have to catch the twist. Sometimes his body language is so funny. Like when he turned off the "Liberal's" microphone.

Different half hours.

2. Must see TV in my house.

5. The show has really grown on me

in the last few weeeks...

His satire is brilliant. I love "The Word".

11. Me, too

At first, I wasn't too impressed. Maybe because I've never seen O'Really, so I didn't "get" the joke. But lately, Colbert's been blowing me away. The guy's a genius.

7. steven made me cry

last night. during that segment with the author. the melding of his satirical viewpoint with the upside-down logic spewing from necons was stunning.

[redherring]

8. He is awesome

Love him. I enjoy his program more than the daily show. I watch both.

9. Filliam H. Muffman? I died...

[Beaverhausen]

12. I kept replaying that over and over

I LOVE IT when he breaks character and laughs!

How about the video at the end of the show?

[Joe Fields]

14. superb. He's my new comedy hero.

[rudy23]

10. My favorite bit is "Formidable Opponent"

Where he debates himself. That must be awesome to witness in person. I love his paranoid fear of bears. It's such a staple of the screammongers on the right, that childish paranoia that just begs to be mocked. At first I didn't think he could make that character entertaining day in and day out, but he's getting better and better. He's so quick witted in his interviews, too.

I also highly recommend "Wigfield", the book he co-wrote with his Strangers With Candy partners, Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello.

16. Me too.

Quite an impressive bit of (hand flourish) ACTING there.
