Stephen Colbert

Stephen Colbert is an American comedian and is host of The Colbert Report. Colbert uses a special form of comedy called satire to poke fun at politicians and the news media. On The Colbert Report (which he pronounces Col-BEAR Re-POOR to make the words sound the same), he pretends to be a right-wing talk show host named Stephen Colbert (who is not the same as the real life Stephen Colbert) and he likes to ask his guests very embarrasing questions that make it seem that Colbert is a serious far right-wing conservative who is also not very smart. In real life, Colbert is a liberal Democrat.

Most famous American politicians and people in the news media agree to appear on his show because it is very popular. It can be seen on cable television on the Comedy Central network. Colbert started as a comedy writer and performer for many other programs, such as the Daily Show and Strangers With Candy, also on Comedy Central.
