"There is no purpose to life, but it's not an accident." -- Richard Dawkins CLICK THE ABOVE LINK TO WATCH THE VIDEO. Stephen Colbert uses his comedic talents to question Richard Dawkins on his latest book --- THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.

When Jeff Goldblum passed away, a little bit of all of us died. I will be missed. He couldn’t have said it better. Words can’t describe the great loss we felt when we heard actor Jeff Goldblum had passed away. Luckily he visited the set of The Colbert Report to help us put his death into perspective. In this hilarious video, Colbert takes some time during his show to remember Goldblum, after it was reported that he died in New Zealand while filming a movie. Even when Goldblum himself comes to prove that he is indeed alive and well, Colbert...

In the two weeks since Newsweek has redesigned, the magazine’s editors have sent out a statement that they intend to sever any and all connection to the turgid, dusty newsweekly of yore. And Jon Meacham, the magazine’s editor, is trying to recapture that age-old magazine editor’s trick for his newly conceived book: buzz. For the next issue that hits newsstands on June 8, Comedy Central funnyman Stephen Colbert will be Newsweek’s guest editor, The Observer has learned.

Meghan McCain was again provided with a national outlet for her "moderate" Republican views with her appearance on "The Colbert Report" on May 18. Host Stephen Colbert said to her, "You're more liberal than President Obama. Is that how you see the future of Republican Party going?" "I'm liberal on social issues," McCain responded Later in the interview McCain explained her views: "All I'm trying to say is it can be a party for a 24-year-old pro-sex woman. It can be. I just think that we have people that are in this party that are hijacking it and - trying...

It's the en vogue thing to do - to make fun of Glenn Beck now that his star has risen after switching from CNN Headline News to the Fox News Channel. After Beck was featured in a front-page March 30 New York Times article, the gang at MSNBC's "Morning Joe" got in on the act - then no other than Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert chimed in on his nightly program, "The Colbert Report." "Nation, I've been so inspired by Glenn Beck's call to action that I'm launching my own democratic experiment - the 1031 project," Colbert said. "It's organized around...

Rahm Emanuel: "We're Scared Of Stephen Colbert The Way Sarah Palin Is Scared Of A Geography Bee" By hortense, 3:15 PM on Sat Nov 15 2008 In what can best be described as the night when all things awesome aligned, America's favorite fake anchor, Stephen Colbert, took a seat as the guest of honor at the 20th Annual Roast for Spina Bifida, where he was roasted by none other than President-Elect Barack Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, who tossed off such gems as this: "I'm scared of Stephen Colbert. I'm not alone. My colleagues in Congress, political operatives, the...

Watch for him on Wednesday, June 4, when he will appear on “The Colbert Report,” which airs at 11:30 EDT on Comedy Central. Thursday, June 5, he will appear on “The Glenn Beck Program” on CNN Headline at 7:00 EDT.

He will also appear on “Night Talk” with Mike Schneider on Bloomberg Television later Thursday evening at 10:00.

“Everybody knows you and your husband are elitists,” Mr. Colbert said right off the bat. “Tell me about your elite upbringing on the South Side of Chicago. How many silver spoons in your mouth?” “We had four spoons,” deadpanned Mrs. Obama during her late night talk show debut. She added: “And then my father got a raise at the plant, and we had five spoons.” “That sounds posh,” replied Mr. Colbert.

Stephen Colbert called it "an announcement." Chris Matthews went on the Colbert Report last night and, responding to the host's importuning to declare his candidacy for US Senator from Pennsylvania, ultimately stated: "I want to be a senator." Over on MSNBC, Morning Joe played a clip of their colleague's appearance, then chewed it over. STEPHEN COLBERT: There's a lot of talk that you might be running for Arlen Specter's seat. Matthews first played it coy.

Funny guys Conan O'Brien and Stephen Colbert have been warring over the airwaves over who first discovered and "made" Mike Huckabee, the once obscure former Arkansas governor, into the popular Republican presidential candidate he is today. Colbert first claimed to have made Huckabee by giving him an appearance on his TV show. O'Brien argued that he made Huckabee by featuring unintentionally funny clips of Huckabee supporter Chuck Norris on his show. Then Jon Stewart got involved, arguing that he made Conan O'Brien — dusting off an old tape in which he interviewed O'Brien on his short-lived talk show from the...

Bears that barge in on people in the forest have become enough of a nuisance that more of them should be hunted, state wildlife managers have decided. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, responding to a spike in human-bear contacts and an 11-year-old boy's death in June, want to issue 296 black bear hunting permits for Utah's 2008 spring and fall hunts, a 20 percent increase from the 248 permits offered this year. DWR officials say the state's black bear population is high enough to warrant the permit increase. Wildlife managers also say bears and humans clashed too many times...

NEW YORK - Stephen Colbert has dropped his bid for the White House. His announcement came after the South Carolina Democratic Executive Council voted last week to keep the host of "The Colbert Report" off the state's primary ballot. The vote was 13-3. Colbert poses as a conservative talk-show host on the Comedy Central show. "Although I lost by the slimmest margin in presidential election history — only 10 votes — I have chosen not to put the country through another agonizing Supreme Court battle," Colbert said Monday in a statement. "It is time for this nation to heal." Colbert...

Sometimes, the truthiness hurts. A national survey from a Republican polling firm found that spoof presidential candidate Stephen Colbert— who popularized the term "truthiness" on his satiric cable TV news show— was running neck-and-neck with some real candidates, including Gov. Bill Richardson. In a recent quasi-announcement, Colbert said he planned to seek both the Democratic and Republican nominations in the early-voting state of South Carolina. The Public Opinion Strategies polling of potential primary election voters showed 2.3 percent support for Colbert, 2.1 percent support each for Richardson and Dennis Kucinich and a goose egg for Chris Dodd. Hillary Clinton, Barack...

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...

Funny, but like South Park, it's not for everyone!

I thought Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert might be a little nervous to meet with me. I was the real news commentator, after all, and they were the mock. They threw spitballs at presidents; I interviewed presidents before throwing spitballs at them. I had crisscrossed the globe to cover news stories, while these guys just put on dark suits and threw up imported backgrounds on a green screen. No doubt they would try to impress me with some weighty discussion about world affairs or the midterm elections. But when I walked into Colbert's office at The Colbert Report, just off...

On April 29, Pied Piper Pitt bid FAREWELL to DUmmieland and in TYPICAL form returned less than a week later. One would think that Pitt would at least keep a low profile for awhile due to his embarrassing backtrack but NO, he is back with his typical unintentionally comedic bloated grandstanding style. Pitt apparently decided to jump onto the Colbert bandwagon and attempt to ride on his popularity with the DUmmies by posting this melodramatic hyperbole-laden THREAD titled, "An Open Letter to Richard Cohen." And what was Richard Cohen's great "crime" that he is now on the receiving end...

Things President Bush should have said to Stephen Colbert after his comedy speech... 11. The only reason you weren't heckeled, is because everybody was asleep. 10. My last speech at the NAACP got a warmer reception. 9. You might consider trying your luck at accounting. 8. Andy Kaufman wouldn't even get your speech. 7. I can't believe you replaced Colin Quinn's show. They must not have a sense of humor over at Comedy Central. 6. If Paula Abdul was judging your comedy performance tonight, all she would say is you looked good. 5. Your Secret Service name is now Nytol,...

Lack of Raves Prompts Rants You'll never believe what the Angry Left is angry about now. It seems the biased right-wing media are trying to cover up . . . a comedy routine!

On the Tuesday evening edition (11/08/2005) of the Colbert Report I was surprised to see a normally super-liberal and irreverent Stephen Colbert seriously challenge Catherine Crier when she lamented that our country would soon start to 'revert' to prayer in school, public display of nativity scenes and menorahs, etc...because of the likes of the Tom Delays and others on the Christian right. There is not transcript available but Colbert slammed her and Crier was really caught off guard. He basically stated that it was foolish to abandon our moral conscious for the 'public good' and what was wrong with a...
