Stephen Colbert is the show's host and its namesake, and he uses his own name while hosting the show. However, the version of Colbert that people tune in every night to see is an altered version of the comedian. In fact, the Stephen Colbert of the television show is a character that Colbert developed through years of performing and observing the worlds of both politics and the news. As a host, Colbert is loud, opinionated, smug and ridiculously patriotic. Moreover, he often presents news in much the same manner as professional news anchors, often for great comedic effect.
Another humorous aspect of the show is the way in which Colbert handles appearances by guests. On most interview programs, the host introduces the guest and the guest walks out to applause to greet the host. This process is turned upside down on the Colbert Report because after the host introduces the guest, Colbert rises to applause and fanfare before greeting the guest, who is usually already seated at a table. This type of comic self-aggrandizement is typical of Colbert's style, and it is a large reason why the show is so popular. It works because the audience is in on the joke, and they know that Colbert is, at heart, an entertainer who simply wants to make his audience laugh.
There have been many guests on the Colbert Report during its run on Comedy Central, and a number of political developments have come and gone. However, the quality of the show has not dropped through the many changes. This is because of the presence of Stephen Colbert, who knows exactly how to host a show that makes audiences laugh and think deeply at the same time. Thanks to Colbert's expert skills as a comedian, The Colbert Report is one of the most unique, yet funniest shows on cable television.

The Colbert Report News
After being secretly taped at a fundraiser essentially calling Obama voters welfare-dependent freeloaders, Romney tries to cover his tracks.
The First Lady gave her big speech Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention, ending up with tons of Twitter traffic reacting to the speech. See the full speech here, and let us know what you think!
In the wake of Clint Eastwood's odd speech at the RNC, Stephen Colbert had a very special guest on the show: the empty chair that Eastwood debated with. As it turns out, the empty chair is pretty good at debating.
New York City Mayor Bloomberg has proposed that the city ban large sodas, making theater owners very upset. Stephen Colbert is pretty upset too, as you can see in this clip from "The Colbert Report."
Hey, if Madonna can get a children's book published, Stephen Colbert could surely write the first one to win a Nobel Prize for Literature.
Family emergency notwithstanding, Stephen Colbert just didn't miss a beat. The Comedy Central faux-pundit host of "The Colbert Report" taped his show's first new episode since tapings were briefly halted midway through last week. Starting with the Feb. 15 episode, fans were treated to reruns through the rest of the week as Colbert tended to his seriously ill, 91-year-old mother Lorna back home in South Carolina.
Hope you enjoyed the vacation, super-PACers: the unofficial President-Elect of the United States of South Carolina is back on the clock today. After a family emergency stopped tapings last week, "The Colbert Report" resumes tonight on Comedy Central with all-new episodes all week.
A serious family emergency has put "The Colbert Report" temporarily on the shelf. The Comedy Central faux-pundit's scheduled Wednesday taping was abruptly canceled with out explanation, and a rerun aired in the episode's place yesterday evening. A source with close business relationships to Colbert's program told The Huffington Post Thursday that the comic's mother is seriously ill, suspending the show until further notice.
Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" will air reruns the rest of the week after the network announced remaining tapings have been cancelled. Wednesday evening's new episode that had been to follow "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" was replaced with one featuring host Stephen Colbert ripping on Republican Herman Cain's late-2011 presidential campaign.
Stephen Colbert is back, and once more running the PAC. The Comedy Central "Colbert Report" host not only announced Tuesday morning on his official website for the former Definitely Not Coordinating With Stephen Colbert Super PAC (possibly soon to be called the "John Colbert Cougar Super MellenPAC") that Colbert Nation has allegedly raised $1,023,121.24, but also released 147-page document disclosing donor names and contributions.
Try as he might have, even transferring his "definitely not coordinated" super-PAC to pal and "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart couldn't get Stephen Colbert onto the South Carolina presidential primary ballot. That would be the bad news. The good news: The Man Who Would Be "President of the United States of South Carolina" will go down swinging alongside another driven-out GOP White House candidate.
