Does anyone know how the Colbert Report is doing?

[Glenda]

Just wondering...

1. No idea, but who cares? It's hilarious

It certainly has to be doing better than Adam Corolla's POS show.

[jsamuel]

2. yeah, Corolla's show is awful

[Glenda]

3. I agree - hilarious!

I saw it the first night - it started out great, and keeps on going!!

11. That was a good interview nt

5. He channels O'Reilly so well

Not so much imitates as takes on the persona....every hand gesture is a parody. And the red white and blue and eagle graphics are so obtrusive and obnoxious...It's genius theater.

6. I get sucked into it every night saying I'm not going to watch it

because I need to go to bed, and I end up watching it!

It's funny in a Colbert kind of way.

Someone further down says "he channels O'Reilly so well", which he does. Hilarious.

7. someone posted ratings last week - they went up

for the Daily Show/Colbert hour while, IIRC, O'Really's went down!

8. I'm getting used to it

didn't like it at first. I thought, & still think, he was better in smaller doses on TDS. But it's still better than 90% of what's on.

10. He needs to stick around for at least 430 more shows

Gotta fill in the whole Congressional district map!
