NEW YORK (July 27) - Stephen Colbert's disdain for all things left is growing.
The host of "The Colbert Report" revealed on Thursday night's show that he broke his left wrist while running around the New York studio before taping a recent episode. Colbert removed a large "No. 1" foam hand to unmask a small cast.
"I didn't want to draw attention to it. I didn't want to play on your sympathy," Colbert said before dramatically grimacing.
The fall happened June 27, before the show went on a two-week hiatus, a spokesman for Comedy Central said Friday. Colbert, 43, was only recently fitted with a cast.
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how it happened," the mock right-wing talk-show host told his audience. "My director Jimmy is suggesting I might have broken my wrist ... before the show."

I heard it happened when he got kicked in the crotch....
Riiiiiiiight. It's too bad he's not a real righty instead of portraying the left-wing's interpretation of righties.
That's news to me. The few times I flipped over this show... I just thought it was the same effete, narcissistic crap that John Stuart does. If Colbert is supposed to be right-wing ANYTHING... it ain't comin' across.
thats why he wrote MOCK, mock right wing. you misread it.
He does a great sendup of Bill O’Reilly in my opinion. At times he can be really funny. His “The Word” segment after the 2006 election was priceless and he didn’t say anything.
Ping me when that happens...
I can’t stop looking at his ear. That is the funniest thing about him.
That was my first thought, too.

And that, my FRiend, is the post of the day if not the week.
