Steven Colbert

Possibly the most intelligent man gracing the television today, Steven Colbert has a large audience of disgruntled, politically aware 13-30 year olds who tend to become fanatical when they finally become an audience member of Colbert's live-filmed talk show. Colbert's tongue-in-cheek approach to comedy is highly effective, in part due to the outrageous character he has made himself into. Colbert's character is actually a caricture of America's conservative, republican population, whose backwards thinking and ridiculously contrary attitude is easy to mock. Steven Colbert has become somewhat of a modest celebrity thanks to his political commentary, appearing in an issue of GQ and booking notorious political, literary and artistic celebrities himself.
