TV - Colbert Report
Steven Colbert's new show
The Colbert Report (it's French, bitch!) premieres tonight on Comedy Central. There's
an article about it the Mercury News.
Stephen Colbert, who has been an integral part of "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" since its inception, gets his own half-hour of faux news starting tonight (11:30, Comedy Central.) "The Colbert Report" will feature his quirky punditry (his character is a mix of Joe Scarborough, Bill O'Reilly and Aaron Brown) including his most popular segment from "The
Daily Show," "This Week in God."
"The Daily Show" will lead directly into the new show with Stewart and Colbert sharing a split screen at 11:30. Just how well Colbert will work without Stewart -- and how well Stewart will work without Colbert -- remains to be seen. But I'm certainly willing to give it a shot.
Yes! More "This Week in God." Awesome.
