News-comedy at its finest.Host Stephen Colbert presents and comments on the latest news, all while having a right-wing slant. Thing is...he's a comedian, not a news anchor, and he's actually left-wing...Brilliant send up of the news, and of right-wing news channels in particular (yes Faux News, we're talking about you). Complete with skits, dream sequences and all manner of comedic devices. Very intelligently written, with a tongue-in-cheek commentary on world events.Best thing about Colbert: he doesn't take himself too seriously. Everything is about the comedy and there's not too many attempts to editorialise. This was Jon Stewart's one failing in The Daily Show: many of his rants were more editorials than comedy routines, and often inaccurate and/or misdirected editorials at that. Then, when an inaccuracy is pointed out, he fell back on "Hey, we're a comedy show, what did you expect!?" Fine, but then don't behave like you're an authority on the matter... Just a pity Colbert gave it all away to host The Late Show. The Late Show is meant for a more mainstream, less intelligent, less political (at least, less left-wing) audience. This means much of his comedy is now dumbed-down and he's forced to suck up to movie stars etc and do clickbait scenes, i.e. the sort of crap you would expect on Jimmy Fallon's show.

If you don't know The Colbert Report, it's fair to say: you know nothing. I can forgive ignorance, but obliviousness to the greatest comedy show ever to be seen, I simply won't forgive. Don't even start with any show, comedian or host you think is good or cool or funny. If you have missed out on the brilliance, that is The Colbert Report, you don't even possess the scale to measure what is good or bad. All this late-shows and hosts out there pale in comparison to the borderline insane genius, who made his alter ego a piece of art.The show is an almost perfect mixture of entertainment and education. Stephen Colbert will sensitize you like no one else, for the role of the media and emotion-driven, fear-generating pundits in special, in Americas shift to the right in the last four decades, when democracy was replaced by money, sanity by greed and doing the right thing by doing the thing that gets you rich, because he is a crazy rich, right-wing-crazy TV-pundit. While his ironic portrait of that self-righteous, Bill o'Reillyesk quasi-fascist Stephen Colbert (with a silent t), provides you with lots of arguments to uncover and understand right-wing propaganda, he surprisingly manages at the same moment to give his market-totalitarian character a likable core, a soul if you want. Partly this gives us an idea of the motivations and feelings of the rich and powerful, partly it shows, that every monster is essentially an emotionally crippled human being.What else is there to say? Stephen Colbert sings like no other late-night host, and he is by far, and I really mean that, the best interviewer I have ever seen. A legend. For me, he represents America. His persona stands for the U.S. that is, his person for the country it could be.The show will end November 2014, a few weeks from now. If you have missed it, you have missed the most significant TV-event of the first one and a half decades of this millennium.I will miss you a lot, Stephen!

Stephen Colbert is a one-joke comedian who has worn out his welcome. The character he endlessly portrays is unfunny, smug, irritating and cannot be watched at length by anyone with an IQ above room temperature without the desire to disinfect one's psyche with a steam generator.This is the Disney Channel for particularly dull-witted adults. There is simply nothing funny about the man and he clearly appeals to those who do not possess the ability to think on their own. His snarky visage and limp political jokes are designed for mental slackers who are watching from their parents' basements. Their kneejerk agreement with the America-hating Colbert in his unremitting leftism is an example of the weakling mindset that gave 20th century nations leaders like Hitler, Stalin and Mao.In other words, the viewers of this fetid non-comedy are entirely incapable of cogent thought.

The thing that makes this show so great is that it's really a combination of many former Comedy Central Shows. In addition to all of the shows which occupied the 11:30 pm Eastern time spot (including "Daily Show" episodes from the previous night), we must remember shows like "Crossballs" (formidable opponent), "Primetime Glick" (having well-intentioned, poorly informed host), and Mr. Subliminal, (the word of the day.) I liked Glick and Mr. Subliminal, and I liked the premise of Crossballs, although there was something missing from each. I think that the missing element was...truthiness. Wait a second, IMDb! Are you saying that you don't consider "truthiness" to be a word? That's it, IMDb, you're dead to me! Now, let's see, the clipboard is full so I need to take someone off. How about Paul Tsongas? Tsongas, it's your lucky day. If you were still alive, you'd no longer be dead to me.My favorite part is his running gags. For example, "Better Know a district" only has 434 parts because California's 50th "never existed to him." I think it happened when Randy "Duke" Cunningham had to resign in disgrace. He's doing satire, and yet he can keeps his story straight. The personalities that he mocks can't even do that! He's doing a better job at satirizing them than they are at being themselves. Also, does anyone remember the "Bewitched" movie? I myself liked it, I mean how can you not like a movie that stars both members of "The Ambiguously Gay Duo?" Stephen Colbert's character was explaining to Will Ferrell how much "Katmandu" tanked, in an effort to convince him into dropping his movie aspirations for a TV show. Well, "Bewitched" failed to crack $100 Million at the box office, and even won a Golden Raspberry Award. "The Colbert Report," and "The Office" (Can you honestly say that you recognize any of Steve Carell's co-stars? Plus, it's even a remake!!!) are to the "Bewitched" movie what the "Bewitched" TV show inside the movie was to the "Katmandu" movie inside the movie. Speaking of which, can anyone name another movie which had 2 of its actors get their own shows beginning the next fall? "How I met your Mother" and "Numbers" both featured offspring from "Harold and Kumar go to White Castle," but neither actor can quite be considered to have the lead. Anyway, instead of having a no-name actress as his leading co-star, Colbert just had words. And they still upstage him! Now, you might be wondering how Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman did as a team. Remember that Raspberry award? They won it for worst on screen COMBINATION. And that's your word of the day.
