Film & TV Stephen Colbert

[ToopackShaker]

He is to me, the funniest man alive right now.
I used to never care for politics before, after watching him, i still don't but he makes it so fucking hilarious.

For those who don't know. He has been a correspondent on the Daily show for a couple years now, and recently got his own show The Colbert Report (with a silent T in report)

He steers the great ship of news through the channels of truth
here's some funny clips you guys can watch, if you like them check out his show.

[Devious]

I like the Daily Show better, but his show's not too bad

 

[Get In The Van I Have Candy]

I have been watching his show for a while now. The word is where he really shines. He comes out (tries to) looking like a Republican and a proud American. That is where is he funny as well. I am somewhat addicted to that show along with the daily show of course. Truthfully I thought I was the only one here who liked Colbert.

I have started downloading the daily show and the colbert report through bittorent and re-watch them when I have time. You can get the latest episodes through www.mininova.org. Make sure to have a bittorent application installed. www.azureus.com

"I've swallowed 18 condoms full of truth and I'm headed across the border!"

 

[HiGhTillDeaTH]

yeah this dude is funny as hell and he does say some of the most random, off the wall shit, right up my alley. I love his show because he is the most sarcastic bastard ever, its fucking ridiculous. He acts as if he is so far on the right side and in actuallity hes poking fun at all the conservatives out there, quite entertaining.

nahhh b. jon stewart actually started a production company to help with the show, pitched the show idea along with stephen to comedy central and he is an executive producer for the show.

 

[S O F I]

^Oh, that's cool. But, yeah, back when I had more free time, I always watched the Daily Show. Funny shit. I remember how I was defending Jon Stewart when he made comments about the new Pope, lol.

NEW YORK - Stung by a recent Associated Press article that didn't credit him for coining the word "truthiness," Comedy Central's
Stephen Colbert has struck back.
ADVERTISEMENT

The world's largest news organization, Colbert says, is the "No. 1 threat facing America."

On Wednesday evening, Colbert placed the AP atop the Threat Down segment of "The Colbert Report" show. What was No. 2?

Bears.

In October, on Colbert's debut episode of the "Daily Show" spinoff, the comedian defined "truthiness" as truth that wouldn't stand to be held back by facts. The word caught on, and last week the American Dialect Society named "truthiness" the word of the year.

When an AP story about the designation sent coast to coast failed to mention Colbert, he began a tongue-in-cheek crusade, not unlike the kind his muse Bill O'Reilly might lead in all seriousness.

"It's a sin of omission, is what it is," Colbert told The AP on Thursday. "You're not giving people the whole story about truthiness."

"It's like Shakespeare still being alive and not asking him what `Hamlet' is about," he said.

The Oxford English Dictionary has a definition for "truthy" dating back to the 1800s. It's defined as "characterized by truth" and includes the derivation "truthiness."

Michael Adams, a visiting associate professor at North Carolina State University who specializes in lexicology, pointed to that definition and has said Colbert's claim to inventing the word is "untrue." (Adams served as the expert opinion in the initial AP story.)

"The fact that they looked it up in a book just shows that they don't get the idea of truthiness at all," Colbert said Thursday. "You don't look up truthiness in a book, you look it up in your gut."

Though slight, the difference of Colbert's definition and the OED's is essential. It's not your typical truth, but, as The New York Times wrote, "a summation of what (Colbert) sees as the guiding ethos of the loudest commentators on Fox News, MSNBC and CNN."

Colbert, who referred on his program to the AP omission as a "journalistic travesty," said Thursday that it was similar to the much-criticized weapons of mass destruction reporting leading up to the
Iraq War.

"Except," he said, "people got hurt this time."

lmao
