Am I the only one to think that Colbert is hilarious?
Am I? The guy always cracks me up. His style is different from Jon Stewart's though.

2. Um, no. On DU Colbert is considered almost universally hilarious.
I have seen very few remarks here suggesting he is anything other than hilarious.

3. When he first got his show, I couldn't stand him. Then I saw his
Press Club routine and realized what kind of comedian he is. Now he's one of my favorites.

5. It took me a little while to realize he was a parody and not real.
At first, I couldn't figure out why he would be on the Daily show and so I paid attention and realized he was really good at his type of comedy. Now I catch his show whenever I can stay up that late.

6. I LOVE him!
Going to the show taping on Thursday and I have a present for him. An eagle (stuffed toy) that chirps. I can't wait, such fun!

16. I am sorry that I must let civility lapse ...
"Hey, I saw him first" ... the he** you did. He's mine.

I have no doubt I fill his fantasies ... OK, OK ... I obviously suffer from delusions; but at least they're good delusions.

:toast:

9. I think he is only "funny" rather than hilarious.
So it is quite possible you are the only one who thinks he raised his comic genius to the level of "hilarious"

10. I hope you all voted for Colbert in the Hungarian name-a-bridge contest!
It's easy to say you like him and he makes you laugh, but what are you willing to do to show your love?

12. Steven Colbert sucks even Russ Feingold is calling him out.
JOIN ME AND SIGN THE PETION ON MR. COLD BEAR.

We're putting Stephen Colbert on notice.
For almost a year, his ceaseless falsiness--disguised, shamelessly, as truthiness--has gone unchallenged.

No longer. It's time to ask the tough questions:
Stephen Colbert calls bears "Godless killing machines." Are they really? Or is Colbert just a pawn of the gun and/or picnic industry?

When Colbert introduces guests, he always hogs the spotlight for himself. Isn't that supposed to be their moment?

He unapologetically stands with George W. Bush. Why isn't he more apologetic?
Stand up to Stephen Colbert.

Watch the movie,(Russ is at the end) learn the facts--and then sign our petition to end Colbert's falsiness once and for all.

13. Count me in...
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 05:55 PM by madame defarge
Last night had me stifling giggles while my husband slept... When Jon Stewart showed up & Colbert made him apologize to Geraldo (and wear the Geraldo mustache...)

And of course, there's "The Word"...

I also love that sometimes he just can't keep from laughing at the bits, try as he might to keep a straight face...

14. Stephen Colbert is awesome.
Only thing I cant stand about his show are the interviews (with mostly people I've never heard of anyways...) but other than that his show rocks!

24. NO! I think he's hilarious and Neil Young is on Thursday!
Also brilliant, smart, handsome, and when I saw the WH Correspondent Dinner, it was love at first sight. Now it's love after about 1000 sights! (I'm catching up on YouTube - someones putting all the old episodes up).
