Re: Does anybody else dislike the Colbert Report???
[ QUOTE ]
he's funny, but relies on props too much when just words will do. and colberts best bit "the word" is eerily similar to kevin nealons "mr. subliminal" when he did weekend update on snl. fyi kevins was better.

you really think he stole this bit from kevin nealon, and not from o'reilly etc. who have summarizing points beside them on the TV during their monologues? who says kevin nealon didn't steal this bit from wendy liebman, whose stand-up act is basically mr. subliminal?
colbert is awesome. sometimes the interviews are awful/uninteresting/obvious where colbert will take it, but i dislike interviews on almost any show. i haven't watched the daily show regularly in a long time - i can't imagine it comes close to colbert. the threat-down, colbert platinum, tip of the hat, wag of the finger, formidable opponent - they're brilliant. i think it's really difficult to come up with that much good material on a daily basis, so i don't blame them for overdoing the book/wrist stuff.
