The Colbert Report Still Hilariously Over-The-Top

Unlike Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert projects a very different personality than his former Daily Show boss. While Stewart is often the straight man, Colbert continually projects his character’s self-absorbed ego. Though Colbert is just as funny and quick-witted as his Daily Show counterpart, his routine can sometimes wear thin with Colbert always in-character. Still, the writer-less Colbert Report is no less hilarious, with Colbert’s enthusiastic satire catching many guests unaware. Definitely watch the end of the Daily Show to see the two hosts interacting during the hand-off from one show to the next. The Colbert Report debuts on Comedy Central at 10:30 PM, with new episodes on at 1:30 PM and 7:30 PM.
