    Is my favorite show on tv. Its as funny as Family Guy but there is a new episode every night! And I already thought Colbert was hilarious from him being on Strangers With Candy. And his parody of a newscaster is just unreal, like his timing, expressions, and wording is perfect! Who's with me?

    Colbert is damn good but his ears are a bit off and he stumbles over words quite often. I like his form of satire but ive been a Daily show fan for about 6 years now. Its an excellent show but i think nothing holds a candle to the original, jon stewart.

    At first I didn't think the show would work--a daily half-hour program based on a short parody sketch; how could he possibly come up with enough material? Amazingly, he's able to come up with more material than Jon Stewart does for The Daily Show, and I think The Colbert Report is a lot funnier. Colbert is abso-fucking-lutely brilliant!

    My favorite parts of the Report (note the silent "t") are "The Word" and how he introduces himself to guests. Most of the time I'm cracking up, but the other night he totally bombed. I also love the daily show. It focuses on current news events a bit more.

    I love the Report, but the Daily Show's great too. Not sure I could choose between them. But on the Colbert Report, I love The Word too. Best part.

    He's faking it, but doing it really well, which is what makes it funny.

    As far as the Daily Show... I like it much better than the Colbert Report, but I wish he'd stop doing the dumbass interviews. They're not really all that funny, they're the worst part of the show.

    yea the Colbert Report is great... but i agree with BTM.. the interviews do suck... but i remember.. i think it was his first show... he was diggin at some guy of political office and he goes "arent you suppose to be the funny one?" as if he was thrown off that colbert was gonna interview him so intensly... but yea.. daily show is great too.. i wish Mo Rocca was back on the daily show though.. i think he had his own show on CNN or somethin for awhile.. now hes a regular on "i love the" series on VH1... wasted talent there i say

    It was better when he was just doing the sketches on the daily show, but I still like the show.

    Day to day, the Colbert Report is funnier. But when Jon Stewart's really on, he's some of the funniest shit on earth.
