In this age of skepticism and not getting it, Americans want the truth...iness. And no one has more truthiness than it-getter, flagophile, and four-star American hero, Stephen Colbert. Now, with this collection of The Colbert Report's finest moments, you can watch as Stephen shows the nation how he better feels the facts, better justifies injustices, and better knows the districts. So, look up in the sky, above the fruited plain, across the purple mountain majesties. This...is The Colbert Report.
"Colbert is such a natural at his smarmy-news-guy persona that he should be able to keep the show watchable if the writing holds up." Brian Lowry, Variety
Editor's Note
Starting out as a glib correspondent on THE DAILY SHOW, uber-patriot Stephen Colbert quickly rose up the ranks to land his own satirical show, THE COLBERT REPORT. Modeled after political pundits like Bill O'Reilly, Colbert takes self-aggrandizing to new levels as its smarmy, flag-waving host, often one-upping John Stewart for sheer bravado. With a firm grasp of "truthiness," Colbert delves into the political events of the day in hilarious deadpan fashion. Going head-to-head with an array of bewildered guests--from high-profile politicians to celebrities--the self-described "megamerican" is unafraid to let his gut lead him where logic doesn't allow. One of the most memorable TV characters in recent years, this collection presents the best moments of the irreverent show. Vive le Colbert!

"With ""The Colbert Report,"" Comedy Central has nearly done penance for its recent spate of latenight monstrosities featuring the likes of David Spade and Adam Carolla. The cabler's ""The Daily Show"" spinoff has gotten off to an impressive start with a topnotch premiere followed by a respectable second outing that underscores just how challenging it will be to sustain this half-hour high-wire act four nights a week...Colbert is such a natural at his smarmy-news-guy persona that he should be able to keep the show watchable if the writing holds up. Thus far it's been extremely sharp -- including his ""The Word"" opening, complete with wry, terse bullet points that mirror [Bill] O'Reilly's ""talking points""...""Anyone can read the news to you,"" Colbert deadpanned on Monday. ""I promise to feel the news at you.""" - Brian Lowry
