The Colbert Report
The most compelling fake news hour in basic cable is about to commence. The Colbert Report hosted by Stephen Colbert, will debut on Monday, October 17 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT and will air Monday through Thursday following The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
The Colbert Report will contain the personality, insight and overall rightness of The Daily Show's Stephen Colbert. That's why he now has a half-hour platform each night to give his take on the issues of the day and more importantly, to tell you why everyone else's take is just plain wrong. What The Daily Show is to evening news, The Colbert Report is to O'Reilly/Scarborough/Hannity/Anderson Cooper, et al... except Colbert's show will be intentionally funny.
Colbert started his career in comedy with Second City in Chicago. He helped create the HBO series Exit 57 in 1995. He also wrote and performed sketches on The Dana Carvey Show. On Comedy Central, Colbert was also a main part of the three-season series Strangers with Candy, featuring Amy Sedaris. Colbert became well known as a reporter for The Daily Show which his new show is an extension of.
