The Colbert Report

[raildogg]

I think it is funny and is less direct and has less politically charged attacks than the Daily Show. The Daily Show is all about coming up with the most clever attacks against Bush these days, or how to make someone who they don't agree with look bad. On top of it all, they leave out a ton of information so their usual audience believes what is not totally true.

I think Stephen Colbert is slowly becoming used to his role as a comedic newsman who is supposed to mirror Bill O'Reilly, or something like that. The little nuggets they throw out there during the show definately make it fun to watch. The negatives are the interviews which are downright pathetic. The recent interview with Gary Hart was terrible, in my opinion.

I think this is one of the better shows Comedy Central has put out lately.

I personally enjoy Colbert more than the Daily Show. Both land in my top 5 fav shows. It just sucks that they air at 12 and 12:30am here, far too late for watching on a work night.

I really like Colbert. But I agree that the interviews are pretty weak. I think part of the problem is that he is always in character, and the guests don't really know how to act? Maybe he just needs more practice.

I enjoy Colbert more than Stewart, as well. Check out comedycentral.com to watch the best of either show whenever you want. I don't even have television and I'm fairly familiar with them.

Yeah, I'm just crossing my fingers for the day of advertising supported on demand video from the cable companies. I don't mind sitting through a few commercials to watch an entire episode of Colbert, when I want to watch it.

I too prefer Colbert to Stewart. They comprise about 30% of the TV I watch.

One of the many good things I can say about Colbert is that he doesn't have journalists, correspondents or whatever and he still has a nice show. It shows that he can carry on an entire show by himself. I think they have a segment for the guests just for the sake of it.
