<p>completely self-indulgent to start this topic but I love these shows a lot.
and I am hoping other people around here love them too.</p>
<p>I am not searching to prevent duplicates or anything of the sort. mostly I just really wanted to make a topic about The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.</p>
<p>I am not shy about saying I prefer Colbert to Stewart. but the shows just go together and I really enjoy them both. I watch Colbert every single night and The Daily Show I skip sometimes.</p>
<p>I remember watching Colbert (at 11:30pm) the day before the (morning) AP calc test and being like "hmmm, perhaps this is too much devotion to a television show..." but definitely didn't turn it off till it was done!</p>
<p>What's truly amazing is that some conservatives honestly believe that Colbert is one of them. It's sad actually. They're so desperate for comedic and creative talent. Ever watch "Half Hour News Hour" on FOX? Or Dennis Miller? <em>puke</em></p>
<p>Love them both. After watching the pundits on cable news pontificating and spinning to the extreme, it's refreshing to watch these guys burst the bubble and see the absurdity of so much of it. </p>
<p>Colbert is more outrageously funny, especially when he messes with his subjects, but Stewart is equally refreshing.</p>
<p>^lol. I must say I love Rain, because I love Singin In Korean, and then this year's dance off! so Colbert's angst over him produced great things.</p>
<p>also to S0ad, I have only seen Colbert live and for some reason I have to agree with you about the wrinkles. I never thought about it quite like that but now that you mention it I totally get what you mean. haha how odd!</p>
<p>they are definitely very refreshing programns, no doubt. even though they're on comedy central I feel like they feed my mind good things.</p>
<p>I did see Colbert break out of his character a bit during one interview while he was considering running for President. I don't recall if it was on Larry King Live or on Meet the Press though. Otherwise, it is his ability to stay in character that is so funny.</p>
