Steve Carell - The Second City's highly applauded writer and contract player. Stephen T. Colbert - One-third English, one-third Scottish and one-third French. Remember Colbert portraying Craig in Comedy Central's Strangers with Candy?
I wanted to start a discussion for the special that aired last night. Who watched and found it funny. Personally, I found it quite funny.
NOTE: I won't score this show based on a rubric, as the this type of show doesn't really fit into it.
If anyone can see good humor, than they can know that the Colbert Report is easily one of the funniest shows out on television. The show itself is basically about a man named Stephen Colbert, who explains his thoughts on everything that is happening today, and then interviews a different person for each different episode. The premise doesn't seem that interesting, but the thing that makes it hilarious is how Colbert explains his opinions on everything that happens in the world. Colbert himself is one of the funniest people out there, but he also makes sure that people are able to hear his opinions, while joking around. Even Colbert knows how to be friendly-like to the people he interviews. It does get boring at some parts, but its all worth it when you get to hear the refreshing and hilarious humor. I wouldn't recommend it to little kids though, as it does getinappropriate at times. There is also cussing involved, too, which can also getinappropriate for the little ones.
Overall, the Colbert Report is one of the funniest shows out there. Colbert himself is downright hilarious, as well as having the ability to describe his opinion well, and he interacts very well with the people he interviews. Watch it whenever you get the chance. You won't regret it.
FINAL SCORE: 9.5/10 Incredible
I first got a glimpse of the Stephen Colbert character on the Daily Show and was soon watching it mainly for the Colbert and Stewart interaction because their comedic timing, delivery and content of their jokes was not surpassed by any of the others. I also enjoyed the many occasions where one would corpse and cause the other to follow - and for me there was no other Correspondant which could make me laugh out loud as often and as hard as Stephen Colbert did.
Anyhoo, I was excited when "The Colbert Report" came to be, especially when the tosses at the end of the Daily Show insured there would still be some Stewart and Colbert interaction to enjoy. (Gotta say that I sorely miss the frequency of them today). The character has changed, from a no-nonsence, articulate, ignorant, gut-feeling, innocent who occasionally allowed the child within him to come out to play, into a no-nonsence, articulate, ignorant, gut-feeling, Man-child - the child in Stephen Colbert comes out to play far more often these days and yet it's a joy to see at times (Talking to an astronaut in the Space Station being one of those times) - and yet despite this, what could have been, a disastrous change, The Colbert Report still works for me.
I'm hoping Stephen Colbert (the person) continues to find enjoyment working on The Colbert Report for many years to come because I just don't know what I'd do without an almost daily dose of "The Colbert Report"
After taking a 3 month break from the Report I have decided that I need to write a review on this show. I didn't know how much this show was a part of my life until I forcibly deprived myself of it. As a graduate student in Political Science, I consider myself a fairly informed person. However, I feel that I gleam more truth from this show than from any other source. Colbert's ability to ridicule the world of politics while pointing to its absurdities makes it some of the most astute social commentary out there. In terms of the pure entertainment factor, I don't know whats funnier; the ridiculous portrayal of a conservative commentator, or the need of such an obvious liberal to dedicate so much of his life to the creation of such a character. Either way... FUNNY AS HELL!!!
There is just something ab out Stephen Colbert's personality that makes this such a funny, clever show. I think it is better and funnier than the daily show with jon stewart. I think Colbert is a hilarous person, and i certainly think this is a funny show. I have yet to watch an episode where I haven't laughed. There is just something about the way he hosts that makes him funnier to me than Jon Stewart. My overall grade for this show is an easy A+, an all around funny show, easily one of my favorite shows on now. Perfect
I always find it odd how the Emmy people kiss up to the Daily Show year after year, and always neglect the genius of Stephen Colbert. I like Stewart and his show and it's very entertaining, but the Colbert Report is so much more funnier and not to mention entertaining. I guess it's because Colbert plays the character of a faux-paus Conservative who views himself with high regard and tries to basically condemn those who feels are "Un-American." It's basically Colbert trying to make himself look like a fool while pretending he is a Bill O'Reilly type character. The one thing I admire about Colbert is his boldness, he doesn't hide behind the covers. In interviews he asks questions that you wouldn't ever dare thinking he would, and he just does it in such a way that you are just laughing. I love his "Word Segment" and of course enjoy how he always "Colbert bumps" something. This guy is definitely a genius, anybody who has a portrait of themselves in the Smithsonian near a bathroom has got to be a legend and that's what Stephen Colbert is.
