Stephen Colbert Overview:
Stephen Colbert might just be the best fake right-wing pundit in America. As host of his own comedy news show, The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, Colbert has made famous his perfectly assured (even when wrong), outspoken conservative character. Colbert’s background is in improv and sketch comedy, making him incredibly quick-witted and fast on his feet. Combining absurdity with heady intellectualism, his satirical take on punditry has made him one of the country’s leading political comedians. The world needs more of his brand of truthiness.
