	Newsvine - Stephen Colbert Causes Chaos on Wikipedia, Gets Blocked from Site

		Colbert was one of the original correspondents and was an active writer throughout the series.
		Regarding Stephen Colbert's seemingly metoric rise to fame as of late, his new movie, Strangers with Candy, is supposed to be brilliant and I've read great reviews in the press.

		Colbert said he planned to run in South Carolina, "and South Carolina alone." The state, one of the key early primaries, is also Colbert's native state.

	Mano Singham's Web Journal: Stephen Colbert crashes the party (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Colbert was completely in character at the dinner and gave a biting, satirical, and funny speech that hit all the points that journalists avoid because it might ruffle the feathers of the President and his people and prevent them from getting future interviews.
		Colbert used satire the way it's used in more openly authoritarian societies: as a political weapon, a device for raising issues that can't be addressed directly.
		Colbert was cool, methodical, and mercilessly ironic, not getting rattled when the audience quieted with discomfort (and resorting to self-deprecating "savers," as most comedians do), but closing in on the kill, as unsparing of the press as he was of the president.

	COVER STORY: America's Anchors Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert : Rolling Stone
		But when I walked into Colbert's office at The Colbert Report, just off Tenth Avenue in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen, the two barely acknowledged me. Stewart, rumpled in a gray tee over a long-sleeved shirt, khaki cargo pants, fl Timberland boots and a Mets cap, was sprawled in a chair with takeout coffee.
		Colbert, neat in a long-sleeved navy shirt, blue pants and wire-rimmed glasses, was sitting up straight next to him, holding a paper plate of fruit.
		Colbert, 42, is a meticulous sprite, a grown-up altar boy who still spouts Latin.

	Stephen Colbert
		Stephen Colbert started his career in comedy by joining the reknowned Second City improv group in Chicago.
		This was also a short-lived endeavor, but Colbert stood out as a Phil Hartman-like everyman capable of exuding both exuberance and despair in a single take.
		On 29 April 2006, Colbert was invited to speak at the annual White House Press Corps awards dinner, using the event to skewer both the assembled journalists and the attending politicians, among them sitting President George W. Bush.

	TV Squad
		Stephen paid a visit to the District of Columbia and spoke with delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who was clearly not in on the joke.
		Stephen insisted that DC isn't part of the US, rudely harped on the fact that Norton doesn't vote, and even accused her of undressing him with her eyes.
		I was curious to see how Stephen Colbert would interview her, since she was there to promote a project in which he is also heavily involved (Strangers With Candy, both the TV and bigscreen versions).

	IGN: An Interview with Stephen Colbert
		COLBERT: Well, the difference between the two was Metamorphosis Alpha was Dungeons & Dragons in space, and Dungeons & Dragons was sorcery.
		COLBERT: No. But this one, I have some friends who work at New Line, and so when this film was coming out, they got me into early screenings and that kind of stuff.
		COLBERT: Well, in the film, he says, "You're going to Gondor." I thought, "No, no, no!" One of the greatest moments in the book is when he looks at the ring, he knows what it is, and he says, "Alas for my brother, Boromir.

	Stephen Colbert at the White House - TV Squad
		Colbert did seem harsher on Bush compared to performers of prior years, though as one of the 68% of the country who think he's doing a lousy job, I was laughing my ass off.
		I think the reason the press corps (the bulk of the audience) had difficulty with Colbert was because early on, he struck to close to the truth about them when he talked about their unwillingness of late to be what they were meant to be; relentless watchdogs for democracy asking the difficult questions.
		Colbert took it to W. His routine is a comic summation of the hypocrisy and complicity in news and Republican presidencies alike.

	AlterNet: MediaCulture: Stephen Colbert's Address to the Graduates
		My name is Stephen Colbert, but I actually play someone on television named Stephen Colbert, who looks like me, and who talks like me, but who says things with a straight face he doesn't mean.
		Stephen is a throwback to those comics who had the idea that comics should travel that old saying "every time you laugh you learn something".
		Stephen is the re-incarnation of the spirit of all of these comics, with a good bit of himself, a finely-honed comedic intellect complete with all of the requirements--wit, sarcasm, IRONY, timing, perception and the cahones to get "naked" and fall on his face.

	Stephen Colbert - TIME
		After his father's goat-cheese business failed, Colbert went by boat to the U.S. To help make ends meet (and egged on by friends who adored his Franco-American delivery and comic timing), Colbert performed at a small comedy club in New York City one Friday night on a lark.
		Colbert, 41, is the bawdy counterweight to cable-news talking heads who each night, just a few channels away, deliver a fresh supply of material for parody.
		In Colbert Country, a guest is more of a foil than a source of intelligence.

	Thank You Stephen Colbert. » Blog Archive » Thank You.
		It’s extending the reach of his performance by days without either side breaking character — the mighty Colbert or the clueless, self-important media elite he was satirizing.
		For those who think the media shamed itself by rolling over for this administration, especially in the run-up to the Iraq war, Colbert’s skit is the gift that keeps on giving.

	Popping Off: Why Stephen Colbert is my hero
		Colbert is the comedian, writer, satirist and talk-show host who delivered a monologue at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner last week.
		The New York Observer called Colbert's performance "shrill and airless." This is a weak dis in a place where unctuous delivery, gusts of hot air and sunshine beamed into every nether region is the norm.
		Colbert chose to stand in front of a roomful of reporters, editors and publishers -- and all the big shots they cover -- and say what people have been thinking, with his own twist.

	Stephen Colbert: America’s ‘Truthiness’ Teller - Newsweek Entertainment - MSNBC.com
		What earned Colbert's ire was an AP story last month about the American Dialect Society's "word of the year." The word is "truthiness," which, if you want to get technical, isn't a word at all.
		When the "Report" debuted last October, Colbert made clear that his mantra would be truthiness, a devotion to information that he wishes were true even if it's not.
		This is where "truthiness" was born, but Colbert has also fixated on "bacchanalia," "wham-o" and "double-stick tape," which allowed him to discourse on the merits of the Miss America pageant and the manner in which contestants keep their bikinis in place.
