Does anybody else dislike the Colbert Report???

[Paulie Walnuts]

I'm on your side bud.

I really enjoy his show and think that his showing being after the daily show really shows how horrible Jon Stewart's show is becoming.

[WhoIam]

I enjoy the show, but it just seems like an SNL skit that got turned into a regular show. It's a one-note joke: having to satirize Bill O'Reilly for the whole program really limits what directions it can take.

[g-bebe]

Colbert really does go overboard on the sarcasm but that's what makes him funny. everything is a satire with him... though at times I do get tired of him too

[Zefa]

I find that half the people I talk to who say they don't like the Colbert Report don't even understand the concept of the satire he applies to his show and don't understand that he is playing as a character.

If you do understand it, I don't really see how he can not be funny.

OP, what are your thoughts on the daily show?

[bogey1]

Dislike? No, though I'm don't really care for it. He has a few really good things, the best is "the word" and "threatdown".

It's just a one trick pony though and I get tired of it. I enjoy the daily show very much still. The opening bit is still great as always and the interviews haven't changed. The in between bits have lost something over the years. Lewis Black is good, and I love almost anything with John Hodgman, but a lot of the other ones are lame.

He can be lol funny, but I find the show tends to drag. I'll usually watch a few minutes of it each night, but will inevitably start flipping the channel around before the show is over.

I also find the interviews to be a little cringe-worthy at times. I realize that's what he's shooting for, but sometimes it seems a little too forced.

I honestly think its the opposite. After watching Stewart's show, it is almost impossible to watch The Colbert Report.
