The Colbert Report

The New York Times is running an article on The Colbert Report.

For anyone who doesn't know, and is thusly a loser, The Colbert Report is the new spin-off of The Daily Show and premiers Monday night at 11:30pm on Comedy Central.

The idea originally started as a goof segment on The Daily Show in the form of a commercial for a current events debate show in the same vein as Hardball and The O'Reilly Factor. Stephen Colbert, one of TDS's fake news correspondents, played the host.

The idea was hilarious, so they actually made the show.
