A community portal about The Colbert Report with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: The Colbert Report is an American satirical television program on Comedy Central that stars comedian Stephen Colbert, best known previously as a senior correspondent for The Daily Show. The Colbert Report is a spinoff of The Daily Show that parodies personality-driven political pundit programs, particularly Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. Like The Daily Show, The Report critiques politics and the media, but focuses on the commentary of Colbert's anchorman character, a right-wing, "well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot" inspired by cable news personalities, particularly Bill O'Reilly. The Report received considerable media coverage following its debut on October 17, 2005, for Colbert's coining of the term truthiness, which has been credited as US dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster's 2006 Word of the Year.
