Stephen Colbert and apologizing are as far apart as violet and red on the color spectrum (the first contrast that popped in my mind).

My point is that it just isn’t cool for a stand-up comedian to be going out, cleaning all the dirty tracks he leaves behind, right?

But well, it seems that this time around, the star took the humor a tad too far, as he targeted a local TV station in Iowa, by the name of WOI-TV.

If you’ve never heard the name, don’t blame your lack of general awareness, since the network is anyway the lowest ranked one in the state.

However, that was not the only reason that it was targeted by the comedian.

The major reason was that the people behind the network messed with Colbert (who dares do that!), and turned down his offer for a political campaign for Rick Parry.

While most of the networks played along the rather stupid idea of featuring ads on TV for the Republican straw poll in Ames, WOI-TV decided to give Colbert a piece of their mind, saying that the campaign would be too confusing for the viewers.

The network was suddenly treated as an outcast, and the next thing we knew was that Stephen was poking fun at the network and some of the news items featured on it.

Pretty immature behavior, we say!

But then, when it’s Stephen Colbert that we are talking about, anything can pass as funny, right?

While Stephen managed to evoke a few laughs in his audience, as he laughed about reporter Katie Eastman’s stories about garage sales and umm…a local dog park, he was soon cornered by the network’s president, Ray Cole, who demanded an apology.

Colbert did apologize on the show’s next episode, that aired on Monday night, (you can get a download of this episode of The Colbert Show to see how he apologized), but he did so with a touch of humor.

He mentioned that he and Cole had met at the Emmy Awards, 2008, where he had won his first Emmy. Talking of the incident, he recalled that Cole touched his Emmy, and joked, saying that whoever touches his Emmy had touched the best part of him.

LOL!

His talk show, The Colbert Report, has spoofed many politicians as well as the views of pundits, with influencing ramifications.

And the witty man has now got the approval to promote a fund raising entity called the Colbert Super PAC, which might make him more influential than ever.

Promotion for The Colbert Super PAC has been approved by the Federal Election Commission, and that means you would soon get to see Stephen bringing out some intriguing and interesting ads, urging people for donation.

With huge amount of funds, Super PAC would look to play some sort of role in 2012 polls.

FEC has permitted Stephen to air ads on The Colbert Report, and that in a way would make the show one of the most preferred program during the election.

I am sure that download for the series would break all records, and The Colbert Report might become the next best thing to watch.

It’s not that the Super PAC would allure politicians to influence the election campaign, but many corporate houses would want to take the advantage of the entity to have a say, because a major chunk of funds is expected to come from them.

Critics have already started to raise voice, because they feel that Stephen Colbert’s Political Action Committee (PAC) might lend an easy access to media outlets to influence election by pouring in finances.

Well, it sounds like the funny man has announced the advent of a never-ending controversy as Super PAC opposes the efforts of bringing in tighter regulation of finances while campaigning!

Nonetheless, with the clause of opposing a candidate during campaigning mentioned in Super PAC, I guess there is some sort of transparency and neutrality. Super PAC would have incredible support pouring in from all corners, but the most sensational aspect would be to discover how it would operate without being lambasted!

Stephen Colbert definitely has a tough job waiting for him, and he would have to use the platform approved by FEC quite diligently.

A smile from Stephen Colbert is enough to brighten up the dullest of days, and in fact, he has been serving as an inspiration for millions, ever since the first season of his phenomenal award-winning show, The Colbert Report aired.

The actor, whose impeccable comic timing never fails to bring a smile to our faces, took his status as a youth icon to an all-new level, with his recent campaign, ‘It Gets Better’. The campaign focuses on youngsters, particularly those of the LGBT community, who are subjected to bullying by their peers.

The message that he sends out to them is, ‘It Gets Better’.

He draws inspiration from friends, who are homosexual, and he speaks out of the experiences that he saw them going through.

Stephen emphasizes his point by sharing an anecdote about one of his gay friends, Pat. Apparently, Pat was often bullied by his peers for being homosexual. He was harassed until one day, he decided to be unaffected by their remarks, and when one of the bullies called him queer, he turned around and asked for a kiss!

What a hilarious scene it must have been!

Humor apart, the incident is a perfect example of how it’s in our control to decide just how much we shall be bothered by the remarks of others. Stephen reveals that he was stunned after the incident, and couldn’t help but marvel at his friend.

That is the exact message that Stephen wishes to spread out amongst gay teens. He emphasizes that things will get better with the passage of time, and people will also get nicer. I must say that it is really sweet of a star of Stephen Colbert’s caliber, to make efforts to help teens cope with issues like homosexuality and bullying.

If you are as much in awe of this star as I am, you must download the latest installments of The Colbert Report, and relish him at his comic best!

I couldn’t stop chuckling on watching this installment in which Congressman John Garamendi had made an appearance.

I really don’t know what coerced California’s U.S. Representative into making an appearance on the show, or whether he was prepared for the punches that seemed to be on the trot, but I surely had a good time!

What made for an interesting watch was the impromptu proposal by the host Stephen Colbert to the guest, who was least expecting it.

Well, The Colbert Report has had always an air of mischief, and is imbued with a sardonic tone that’s not only hilarious, but it’s actually thought-provoking at times. Expect Stephen Colbert’s humor-factory to be ever-online!

As Mr. Garamendi happened to be a supporter of gay marriage, it couldn’t have been a more opportune moment than this to take a dig at him.

No sooner the proposal was hurled at Garamendi, he retaliated by gently saying that Colbert was not of his type and that he’s happily married.

But trust me guys, it was a good one!

I guess, from now onwards the U.S. Representatives would rather refrain from bumping into this show, for here no one is spared, even if it means targeting one via unintended pun!

He’s regarded as the ‘most trusted fake newsman in America.’

And that’s not a notorious tag being attributed to him; rather it’s an adulation he has earned over the years.

His show, The Colbert Report, has not spared anyone in its spoofs unleashed at politicians & celebrities alike.

Grab a download of the show, and witness this news parody that’s credited with raking up issues of national and international interest, albeit in a different way.

The Colbert Report that flaunts four Emmys in its kitty has given a new meaning to journalism altogether, by kick starting the trend of presenting the recent happenings with a touch of pun.

The man behind the show, Stephen Colbert, it seems is not satisfied, and his aspiration levels are quite high and unfathomable too!
His latest antic that has kind of stirred a storm is setting up of “Colbert Super PAC.” Stating precisely, PAC is an organization under the aegis of the Federal Election Commission that can raise unsolicited amount through contributions.

Is Stephen trying to mock at the setup itself that allows such humongous flow of money from business moguls to Republicans, or is he really serious about it?

As he dropped in Washington for all the formalities related to paperwork, he conveyed that this is in fact serious business.

At this point of time, all he is seeking is the permission to publicize the PAC in his show.

Smart man, I must say!

The Colbert Report show is counted amongst the best satirical television programs. Show host, Stephen Colbert, continues to make people believe that they are right in considering the show amongst the best!

Recently, Stephen Colbert set his gun of satire on the beauty industry. He said that the industry earns money by playing with our insecurities! He blatantly thrashed the new campaign of Unilever’s new deodorant.

Unilever PLC campaign stated that a majority of women do not feel their armpits to be appealing. Their new deodorant claims to make armpits appealing in just five days, calling for Stephen’s satirical comments!

Stephen held out that the campaign makers create a problem, and dole out a solution; creating a win-win situation.

Well, the host of The Colbert Report didn’t stop with just that. He further stated that the coming line of beauty products may claim to make appealing anything from the leg pit to the elbow wattle!

With this, Stephen has given a hilarious and interesting episode to viewers, highlighting the long-running strategy of the beauty product companies. His hilarious take on a serious issue, is the reason that a number of people are intrigued by this episode.

Stephan surely deserves some applause for this interesting segment on The Colbert Report.

He proved that The Colbert Report deserves to be counted in the top satirical television shows, time and again.

All the fans that are waiting for some more action should stay tuned to The Colbert Report!
