Colbert Report

Fans of the "Colbert Report" appreciate the hilarious satire that host Stephen Colbert delivers on each night. The show, which airs on Comedy Central, is a satirical take on conservative talk show pundits such as Bill O’Reilly. The show is a spinoff of a character created while Colbert worked as a correspondent on the popular "Daily Show" on the same network. Having achieved huge critical acclaim, the show had been nominated for seven Primetime Emmys as of 2013. During its 2005 debut, the host coined the term "truthiness," which was later named as Word of the Year by the Merriam-Webster dictionary. The show is filmed in a studio with a live audience, which fans can pick up Colbert tickets to attend. Nine seasons of the show, with more than 1,100 episodes, had been filmed as of 2013. The show has made a large impact on American culture including the creation of his own political action committee, ColbertPAC and a SuperPAC following the Citizen’s United Supreme Court case. Internationally, the show is distributed in markets such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the Philippines. A "Colbert Report" DVD was released in 2007 that offers highlights from the first two seasons of the show. A soundtrack of Christmas music featuring songs from performers such as John Legend, Feist, Toby Keith and Elvis Costello was released. The three CD audiobook "I Am America (And So Can You!)" was released in 2007, which was narrated by the host of the show. In 2012, the author released his third book "America Again: Re-becoming the Greatness We Never Weren’t," which is another hilarious satirical read. Fans of the show may purchase memorabilia such as a "Colbert Report" mug.
