Sardonic, deadpan and drier than a desert at noon, this bespectacled satirist became such a popular correspondent on the mock-news series The Daily Show that he earned his own spin-off. Growing up in South Caro... read more

Stephen Colbert: TV Guide News

Conan-Colbert Brawl | Today's Top Videos | 2/5/2008
Uh-oh! Looks like Conan O’Brien and Stephen Colbert’s tiff over who’s really responsible for Huckabee’s fame has reached a new level—we’re talking the ass-kicking kind! Last night, both Colbert and John Stewart appeared on Conan’s show to duke it out like men. Oh, and it was ugly too—bats were swinging, trash cans were flying and they even busted out a blow torch. It was no holds barred, we tell you! read more
Colbert's Bracelets Beget Real Bling for Charity | Today's News: Our Take | 1/24/2008
On Wednesday night's The Colbert Report, frontman Stephen Colbert presented a $171,525 check to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a charity that aids injured service members and their families. The source of the benevolent windfall: sales of the "WristStrong" bracelets Colbert has been peddling, largely in jest, as part of a "wrist awareness" campaign he launched after fracturing his left wrist last June. Hey, even Lance Armstrong can't have a beef with that. read more
Colbert's Portrait Hangs in Smithsonian | Today's Top Videos | 1/18/2008
Stephen Colbert has been on a mission, and that mission, ladies and gentlemen, was to find a home for his ‘Portrait of Stephen’ in the Smithsonian’s collection of national treasures. Well, he may not have been able to get his mug hanging by George Washington’s military uniform, but he was able to nab a spot in the National Portrait Gallery for the next six weeks near our founding fathers—and right above the John. read more
Strike Watch: Another Day in Late Night | Roush Dispatch | 1/8/2008
The only true “moment of Zen” I experienced while watching the awkward writer-free return of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show Monday night — or, as Jon Stewart is now calling it, “A Daily Show” — was when his sole guest, a professorial labor expert, said of bitter strikes like the one the Writers’ Guild is currently engaged in: “It’s never intractable.... Eventually, they all get solved.”From his lips to....What a day it was in Strike World. The shoe finally dropped regarding NBC’s telecast of this Sunday’s Golden Globes Awards. The ceremony is canceled, and the awards will be presented in a news-conference style, covered exclusively by NBC News. Talk about your lose-lose propositions. Conferring “news” status on the Globes is an absurd exercise in hollow self-importance. The only reason the Globes is worth a toss isn’t because of who wins — just try to remember who won any of last year’s... read more
Cheers: Daily Requirements | Cheers & Jeers | 1/8/2008
Cheers to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert for proving The Daily Show and The Colbert Report must go on. The Comedy Central cutups returned without their writers and mined rich laughs from the strike (Stewart's "solidarity unibrow" and reference to the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers as "NAMBLA") as well as the presidential campaign (Colbert's suggestion he should run as Mike Huckabee's vice-presidential candidate on the "Huckleberry" ticket). Sure, some of the jokes could've used (re)writers: Stewart's facetious likening of the strike to the AIDS crisis and 9/11 fell flat. But I'm voting with my remote — Stewart/Colbert in '08!For another take on the returns of Stewart and Colbert, read the Roush Dispatch. • Read and react to Bruce's opinions on Desperate Housewives, Celebrity Apprentice and more!• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on... read more
