Looks like it will air after the Daily Show starting in September. I can't wait!!

If you ever watch Cartoon network in the evening, you see his name on several of the cartoons. He must have a lot of irons in the fire.

2. yeah

The article said that his appearances on the Daily Show will be significantly less but I'll give that up to have a full 30 of him later. The other correspondents can carry it quite nicely

3. there was an interview with Colgert on fresh air

I remember him saying how he was told to just explore his own political views, he was surprised by how liberal he was. At least that how I remember, without listening to the program.

4. Heh

It's French. ;)

Anyone remember when they did trailers for this? I had no idea they'd turn it into a real show!

[Reverend_Smitty]

6. Yes

Thats exactly what I thought about when I read the article. I laughed so hard, I cried when I watched that "promo". What what the name of that "show" I can't remember it

5. Awesome

Sounds like full-time media satire--his brilliant chemistry with Jon will be missed, though. I still remember the bit on the Prince Charles rumors. :D

8. LOL! the Colber' Repor' comes to real life!

He'll be a "very well-intentioned, poorly informed, high-status idiot, not unlike some people who have these shows in the real world," he said.
