Stephen Colbert was a correspondent/commentator in The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. In 2005, he started his own half hour show as his alter ego Stephen Colbert, the conservative pundit. It ends after 9 years as Colbert is set to take over from David Letterman in his late night talk show slot. This may be sacrilegious but I like The Colbert Report more than The Daily Show. Don't get wrong. Jon Stewart is great but he's not doing something original. He's not even the original host of The Daily Show and The Daily Show isn't even the first fake news show. Colbert is doing a different personality to do serious news. It's like some of the SNL Weekend Update except Colbert is dead-on. He nails the conservative pundit down to the T. He's so good that some people don't even understand that it's an act. It's also a product of its times. This show is something special.
